Polar Panoramas

Here are two Polar Panoramas that I created by following multiple steps. First, I got a digital camera and found a location with equal sky and land. Next, I took at least 10 vertical pictures, with the horizon in the center, moving from left to right. After that I edited my photos with Adobe Camera raw then opened the pictures in PS5.5 to create a panorama (File> Automate > PhotoMerge). Once the panorama is created, change image size by making it a perfect square. Next, apply Polar Filter to image by selecting Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates and choosing "Rectangular to Polar" setting. Last step is to fix any imperfections of the image and make adjustments to make your Polar Panorama great!

Magazine Cover

This is my finished magazine cover! It is one of the first things we made in G.T. and it is supposed to represent who we are through the titles and subtitles we choose. We took pictures, edited them, then used Photoshop to complete this magazine cover. Some of my favorite magazines are Seventeen, Vogue, and People.

All About Me

Hi everyone! I am Sariah Mokuahi. I live on the island of Kaua'i and attend Kapa'a Middle School. I was born on April 10, 2000 on O'ahu but have lived on Kaua'i all my life. I'd say my favorite part about living in Hawai'i is being able to go to the beach. My life summed up in three words would be Sleep, Eat, and Neflix.

Some of my hobbies include playing soccer and dancing hula. I started playing soccer when I was six. Now I play with a team named Pohaku. Hula has always been apart of my life, my mom was a kumu hula (hula teacher) when I was little so I've been dancing since I was two. I started performing when I was four or five and it is still one of my favorite things to do. I'm now apart of the halau Na Hui O Kamaka O Kalani.

One day I hope to go to college somewhere on the mainland, then travel the world. Kaua'i is beautiful but i've already been around the whole island. There isn't much to do here other than go to the beach or hiking, which is why I want to travel. To experience new things in new places. I really want to go to Paris and Tahiti.  I'd like to move to Los Angeles or Miami after I finish college. 

Spherical Panoramas

These are my two finished Spherical Panoramas. The first thing I did was take 10-15 images in a 360 degree rotation, it was important to overlap the images by about 10%. Next I edited the pictures in Adobe Camera Raw, then using Photo Merge in Photoshop a panorama was created. After this I re-sized the panorama to be a square and filtered the image using polar coordinates. The last step was to hide any unnecessary lines by using the blend and clone stamp tool.

Final Photomontages

These are two photomontages I made that are inspired by David Hockney, who was the first person to make a joiner. After taking tons of pictures of one subject, I used Camera Raw in Adobe Bridge to edit them. Next I opened the edited pictures in Adobe Photoshop and hand stitched them to create a finished photomontage.
