Polar Panorama

These are my finished polar panoramic images. To create these images, we took a similar route to the process of our spherical panoramas. We took pictures in a 360 degree circle to create a circular panorama. In Photoshop, we stitched these images together using Photomerge. Next, we altered the dimensions of the image to make the image into a 5000 by 5000 square. We also flipped our images 180 degrees so that they appeared upside-down. Then, we used the polar coordinates option to create our world-like image.

To create the illusion of a a person playing "King of the World", we first took pictures, positioning the camera at a downward angle of the subject. Next, in Photoshop, we used the quick selection tool to cut out our subject from the background. Then, we copy and pasted ourselves into our image to make us appear to be on top of the world.
