Panoramic in the Park

Feb 6, 2014 by misa33

This week I took a few photographs in the park, I combined 3 images into one using the photo merge option in photoshop to create panoramic images and cleaned up the images using a content aware option, cloning and patching. Here are two panoramic images I created:

 

By The Playground

This was taken in a park by my house, I really liked having part of the yellow slide in the image and the blue water sprinkler those little sparks of color really made the image. The building is a carousel station open during the summer. Merging these images wasn’t that difficult, there was part of the image that I was unable to properly fill and blend so I cropped it. I brightened the colors and adjusted the levels bringing in more contrast.

Here are the images I used to create the image above:

2. By the Playground 2: Feb. 5th 2014, 5:36pm, Porter Park, Rexburg Idaho, Nikon D3100, f/8, Shutter speed 1/250sec*

3.By The Playground 3: Feb. 5th 2014, 5:36pm, Porter Park, Rexburg Idaho, Nikon D3100, f/7.1, Shutter speed 1/200sec*

 

A Walk through the Park

The three images used in this panoramic blended much better, the content aware option was able to pick up a lot more of the image, I didn’t have to fix much of this image as far as filling in the missing spaces the photo merge didn’t pick up. I used a warming filter to get rid of some of the blue undertones from the snow, I also changed the hue and saturation so blue was not a dominant color. I chose to focus on the red in the picture so I brought out the red hues under hue and saturation.

These are the three images used to create the image above:

*all of this information came from Photoshop but may not be correct, all of these were shot in aperture priority and some of these were shot before the time listed.
