Polar Panoramas

These images are two of my three finished polar panoramas. How i created these images was by first taking 10-15 images in a perfect 360 degree rotation with a little over lap. Then i edited the images in Adobe Camera Raw and compiled into a panoramic image using Adobe Photoshop. Next I resized the panorama to a square (5000 by 5000) and then rotated the image 180 degrees (upside down). Then you apply the Polar Filter to your image to wrap it around. After thats done you can feather or contrast the image to clean up the boarder and cover yup the seam that may be in the Image.

How i added the person in to the image to make it look like I was standing on earth was by using the Quick Selection Tool  . First my partner and I took pictures of each other (when taking the picture make sure the photographer is standing on a stool or chair so the cameras face down on the other person). Next, I edited the pictures of me in Adobe Camera Raw and opened the image that I like the most in to Adobe Photoshop. Then, I use the Quick Selection Tool to outline my body. After that, I delete the parts of the image that wasn't outlined and smoothed out the outline of my body so I didn't look ridged.
