Tiny Spherical Worlds

Compositing images is when you combine two or more images to be edited in a way that it looks like one image, instead of several parts of a whole image. I think compositing images is used for creating interesting pictures. That looks abstract. But yet professional. One image is not enough to composite an image. To composite an image, you need more than one image. You can edit just one picture and leave it, or you can use multiple images to create a really creative picture! Also you need multiple images so that it can bring depth to your image when you composite images. Personally I can definitely tell if an image was made out of multiple images, and when it is made from one plain image.

There is a really slight difference between a spherical pano, and a polar pano. Though these two image styles look alike they are different in many ways. One way these two images are different is because the have different polar coordinates. You may be able to tell if the picture is a spherical pano or a polar pano by the way the pictures look when you are done putting in the polar coordinates. You will be able to see the point where the two ends meet. The polar pano is the image that looks like the foreground of your pano is the planet/world or whatever you want to call it. The spherical pano is when the sky looks like the ground, and the ground looks like the sky. Another thing that makes the polar and spherical pano different is the way you edit them to turn them into you worlds. When you are in photoshop making your polar, before you click to polar coordinates. You actually have to go to image<image rotation<180`. Making sure to do this is very important because turning your polar up-side down before you hit polar coordinates will definitely make it look different from the spherical. For the spherical pano  you will need to skip the image rotation so that you will be able to achieve that inside-out world affect.

I think that my finished "tiny worlds" are convincing enough. I think so because the pictures I took were of landscapes that I personally see everyday. It's not too over the top, to the point where it's someplace so exotic and fancy. I think my pictures the perfect landscapes that show who I am and where I grew up. Also I think that my "tiny worlds" are convincing because I didn't over edit them. When I say over edit I mean taking a picture and turning it into something to over the top, to where the picture looks totally different from when you first took the picture. While I was editing I was trying pretty hard not to over due my picture. Even though the landscapes that I took was beautiful. It still needed a lot of help. I tried to take the pictures in a golden hour. Which is when the sunset casts a beautiful light. But it didn't show up that well in the pictures I took. It kinda looked pretty dark to me. So with some editing with the help of adobe bridge I lightened the picture up. I also did a little bit of tinting to add some surrealism. But in the end my two spherical and polar panos turned out just the way I wanted them to turn out. CONVINCING!
