Do my blog posts on time. Try not to get a C in any of my classes. And never give up even when it is hard.

The questions we asked is,why do you think exercising important?wWhat do you feel like when you are finished exercising? and how did you start liking exercising?She answered by saying "I think exercise is important because it can affect your physical health when you get older and you should exercise throughout your whole life so you can be strong and healthy"."When I’m finished exercising it makes me feel like i've wiped my hand".Also she said My mom actually was the one who introduced me to crossfit and after a couple classes I gained a strong addiction for it.


When we were done with the interview we did the narration

All About Me

This is me I am a six grader in Kapa'a Middle school

Polar Panorama

These are my two Polar Panorama examples. First I researched the process of creating a Polar Panorama before choosing a good location with an interesting horizon line.  Similar to a spherical panorama, I took at least 10 photos moving from left to right all vertically oriented with a 10-15% overlap.  After using the PhotoMerge plugin in Photoshop and resizing to a square image, the next step is rotating the image 180 degrees before applying the Polar Coordinates filter under the distort menu.

Then participated in a portrait photography session to mimic the feeling of being on top of the world.  After editing the portrait photos, students used the Quick Selection Tool to cut out the background, refine the edges and resize the layer to fit their polar panorama perfectly.  The last step was creating a shadow effect by copying, inverting and warping their portrait layer, decreasing the exposure to pure black and adjusting the opacity to around 40%

Spherical Panorama

These are two examples of Spherical Panoramas that I created.First, students were required to take two different sets of 10-15 images in a 360 degree rotation with a 10-15% overlap. The images were then edited using Adobe Camera Raw and compiled into a panoramic image using PhotoShop's PhotoMerge.

Next, the rectangular 360 degree panorama was resized to be square and filtered using Polar Coordinates. Lastly, the final spherical panoramas were selected using the elliptical marquee and feathered by refining the edges. A black or white background was applied before saving the finished composite image.

Final Photomontages

This is my finished Photomontage from G.T this is an example of DavidHockney.

Magazine Cover

This is my finished Magazine Cover I made it in G.T. (Gifted and Talent).First we took pictures like 10-15 then we went into Photoshop and added captions and questions like you see above.After that we took the picture and draged it to the empty space.Then we started to trace the the picture,after we was done with tracing the pic we improved every thing else.Like make the words look like 3D and blare the background.The way I made the words 3D is you click on the sentence and increase the everything.
