Art by Contact
Not all art is something to paint or sculpt and stare at in a park or in a gallery. Snagged from my other blog, I decided to post these chalkboards left out on campus as a sort of bucket list of hopes for not only the persons lifetime, but for the world.
HDR and Photoshop headaches
Anyone else (not like anyone sees these) ever get a little exhausted trying to make a panoramic, sometimes? I’ve been trying to move into 360 images, and it’s not as easy as it sounds – and it doesn’t really sound that easy! Even with a tripod I still can’t get my images to connect properly. Sadly I think I had slightly better luck when I tried it with a hand-held point-and-shoot than with a tripod and my DSLR. I also did it in HDR, so I have to put the HDR set together for the whole sweep, make sure the toning lines up, then save those and put them together in a panoramic. I think it’s the tone mapping that’s giving me the most trouble. I’m using Photoshop CS5 and when I get to the shots where the sun is head-on, the grass gets darker somehow, even though I’m using a preset tone map to make sure everything is even. That makes any panorama stitcher I use derp out and either not connect anything together or place an image way out of place. Argh! I just hope I can perfect it and try to sell some stuff – or at least use it for a portfolio!
