Spherical Panoramas

These are two examples of Spherical Panoramas that I made in my G.T. class. Spherical panoramas are very similar to polar panoramas. The difference between them is that they have different perspectives.

I first had to search what a spherical panorama was and how to actually create one. Then you look for a good location with an interesting horizon line. You then take ten photos from left to right with an even amount of overlapping, all vertically oriented. Using Camera Raw in Adobe Bridge I edited each photo too make them brighter and make them look more realistic. I then used Photoshop to merge the photos together and resized the photos to a shape of a square.

We then took a portrait photography session to make people get the feeling that were on top of the world! We then edited the portraits in Camera Raw using Adobe Bridge. Then in Photoshop, I used the Quick Selection Tool to cut myself out and paste it in my finished spherical panorama. Last but not least I created a shadow affect by copying and changing the size of the portrait layer, lowering the exposure to black and adjusting the capacity to about 50%.

All About Me

Hey people, here's a little description and background information about me....

My name In Jonnika Alumpe but I usually go by Nika. I was born and raised on the island of Kauai. I started school at Kilauea Elementary School. I graduated in the 6th grade and continue going to Kapaa Middle School. I am in a program called Gifted and Talented or G.T. This program is for for people who like to challenge themselves. It gives you an opportunity to learn about technology.

When I'm home, I usually practice playing the piano and sing. I made a YouTube channel. I started play the piano about two or three years ago. When I wanna a learn recent songs I go on YouTube for tutorials or I listen to a tune and just start paying. I've been singing for as long as I can remember. The world would literally be nothing without music.

I've always wanted to be a doctor growing up. But ever since I started playing the piano, and I wanted to become famous ever since. When I am older I would want to travel the world. I plan either working in the music industry or become a doctor. My mom is a nurse and she has influenced me to become one. Hopefully, someday, I get to make my parents proud.

Magazine Cover

This is my finished magazine cover that I created in my 4th period G.T. class at Kapaa Middle School. To make this I used Adobe Bridge and Photo shop.
