Polar Panoramas

These are two of my finished polar panoramas. To make them I first took 10-20 pictures of  a place I liked while moving the camera left to right. The camera was always in a vertical orientation. Then I edited them until I liked them in Adobe Camera Raw before stitching them together to make a panorama in Adobe Photoshop. Just like the spherical panorama I made the panorama into a square 5000x5000 pixels. Then I flipped the image 180 degrees. After that I added the polar coordinates filter to war the photo into a sphere. Then I used the smudge and stamp tools to hide the seam.

All About Me

Hello people. I'm Sheila and here's something about me :)

Before I moved to Kauai, Hawaii I lived in Bern, Switzerland. A couple months after my youngest brother Nick was born we moved here. I went to King Kaumualii Elementary School from kindergarten to 5th grade. Now I go to Kapaa Middle School, this is my last year here.

Some of my hobbies include soccer, drawing and reading. I play soccer for a team called Pohaku. I like drawing people and animals, and abstract stuff. I spend a lot of my time sleeping or eating or just being a lazy little person. I really like hiking and running though.

I always wanted to go to Italy again, because it's cool and I only went there for a couple days last time. Also I want to go to the Philippines, because I have family there, but I only ever met one of them.  Oh, and I'm the girl with the braid on the left. My friends (starting from the left) are Claudia, Audrey and Kaylene :)

Spherical Panoramas

Here are two of my finished spherical panoramas. The first step in making these was taking 10-20 pictures of a place that we liked. Then we edited them in Adobe Camera Raw to add contrast and highlights and those things. After that, we turned them into a panoramic image in Adobe Photoshop. We then changed the size of the panorama to 5000x5000 pixels to make it a square. After that we put on a special filter called a polar coordinates filter that made the land wrap around

 the sky, which made the spherical panorama. 

Final Photomontages

   Here are my two finished Photomontages that were inspired by David Hockney, who first created what we called "joiners".  I used a digital camera to take pictures of something meaningful, Adobe Camera Raw to batch-edit them and make them look better, and Adobe Photoshop to compile my finished composite images.

Magazine Cover

This is my finished magazine cover that I created in the fall of 2013 at Kapa'a Middle School. We used Adobe Photoshop and made a magazine cover with a headline and 6 sub-stories. We did a photo shoot and then edited our best pictures in Adobe Camera Raw. Then we chose one picture and traced it in Adobe Photoshop, and then we colored them in. We added custom text box backgrounds. We were also allowed to add a barcode and other small icons.
