Beginnings of the Panomrama

So my first attempt in class was unsuccessful since I would decrease the size of the image, then make it larger again on another photoshop document which made the image blurry and lot's of quality and detail was lost. 
So from learning from that initial mistake I joined these first two images. 





Joining them together and using the eraser tool to blur the line to finish with:


So then I continued by joining the multiple photos taken at a 360 and have gotten up to around 4 or 5 images into one image


I still need to join the remaining images to create the full 360 view, but hopefully that won't be too far off and  I can start experimenting with this idea.

Working Through The Ideas



So my idea is to create a proposal for an installation in a city square. 
I want to create the illusion that the person is encapsulated in a different space than the place that they just came from.


My friend inspired me when she talked about her trip to America. The feeling she got when she ventured into central park, as if the city had disappeared and she had been transported somewhere else. 
I have to think about how tall and how wide the installation will be. 
It would have to be above the average height so the viewer is immersed in the landscape.
To achieve the same atmosphere as Fredrick McCubbin's 'The Pioneer', 1904
If I do separate panels or create one long image to wrap around. I'm not sure if there should be two separate semi circles that go around each other so when the viewer is in the middle of the work they've been transported out of the city into the wilderness.

All the Thyme in the World Part III



Yes once again another shoot of the same boot, but I think it may not be going so well, the boot I mean. 
I'm trying to add more items to reveal more of the identity of the previous owner of the boot and who they are/were. 



I didn't go into the studio this time, just in my house so you can kind of see my piano in the background.



I also tried a new set of objects. The items are from various childhoods and a photo of a baby. I'm not sure if I'll continue with this or where I'll go if I continue with them
