Panorama

Assignment:Panorama
Location: Frisbee golf course 32

        The objective of this assignment was to take multiple pictures and stitch them together in photoshop to create a panoramic image. 

        The first place I thought would put out the best panoramic views was the frisbee golf course up highway 32. Up there, you get views of the valley and the canyon of Upper Bidwell Park. I went right after it rained so there was beautiful clouds scattered in the sky. I borrowed my friends camera and tripod to take these pictures but because of this I did not fully know how to mess with her camera. This caused a lot of my photos to be over exposed and not as cool as they could’ve been. 

This overexposure mostly shows in the sky in my original panoramic image but I used the stamp tool to place some blue sky and clouds to cover it up. I also used the dodge and burn technique to make the detail in the sky pop more. I now cannot wait to go back out with my friends camera because now I know why my images were so exposed. 

I also had the issue, when stitching my images together, that a couple of them were totally different exposures and left harsh lines down my image. To fix this I went in with the eraser tool and and the blur tool. It took a while to try and hide and still think it needs more work but looks a lot better from the original.
