Tiny Spherical Worlds

The point of composite images is to capture all of the elements of numerous images in one final product. It helps create a variety of shots with the same subjects and compress them into one photo. Composite images create a better developed image than just a regular photo because it captures all colors, light and subjects. I think that composite images make the overall product much better than just normal photos. They capture many more details, and provide a better range of colors.

The difference between polar and spherical panoramas are quite obvious when you see them both next to each other. Spherical panoramas are from a perspective that makes it look almost like you're looking upward at the subject. Polar panoramas are made to make it look like you're looking down on the subject, almost as though you're looking down from the sky or outer space. The perspectives are much different, but they may seem alike when you first catch a glimpse of them.

There are many things that make my finished tiny worlds convincing. First, I edited it to make it look as seamless as I could. I also used a smudge brush to better line up the horizon when there were flaws in creating my panoramas. I also skewed my portrait to make it look like the photo was taken from an angle. I also created a shadow for myself that isn't super noticeable but you can still see it.
