  1. How do you think the photographer made these photos?
    I think he took 2 photo’s and photoshopped them together to make the 2nd one look like it is 90 degrees compared to the other one.

    What tools might they have used in Photoshop, based on what you know so far?
    Some tools they might have used was the move tool, the crop tool, the auto align layers tool, the polygon lasso tool and maybe more.

    How do these photos make you feel?
    They make me feel inspired, they look really cool and I fell that is a very nice looking and not very used unique style of photography.

  2. I think he took the shot from a birds eye view and used a certain tool in Photoshop that i’m not familiar with yet. these photos are really cool and makes my mind wonder just exactly how he created these photos. There really cool and I thought for a second that there were roads that actually curve that much but then as I looked further at his work my eyes figured out that it was Photoshoped.

  3. -The photographer most likely found ways to take the pictures from a birds eye view, then took another at street level in an area similar to the top, then morphed the two together in Photoshop.
    -The tools they probably used were the morph, crop, and the lasso tool.
    -These pictures make me a little nervous, considering I have a fear of heights, and all these pictures were taken at great heights.

  4. I think the photographer mashed multiple photos together of the same area and used the puppet/transform tool to create these pictures. I think these photos are very creative and unique. These photos are seamless, and everything looks like it is supposed to be there.

  6. I believe the photographer used a jib/crane for the camera and did a panorama of the scenery in order to capture these images. I am not aware of any tools that this photographer might have used using Photoshop. These photos make me feel like I’m riding a rollercoaster and I’m going over part of that city/location.

  10. I think he took the photo from a birds eye view and a regular straight on view, I’m sure they used a tool in Photoshop but I’m not sure what it is because I haven’t used it yet. The photos make me feel confused on what i was looking at for the first few second, but when i figured it out it is really cool what he did with them.

  12. Honestly I have no idea on how the photographer took those photos because the photographer made them look so real and weird which is good. I think the photographer must have took two photos from two different angels and put them together in Photoshop. Maybe the photographer could have morphed them together and done something else to photos to make them look so real. I believe that these photos are really cool to look at and very unique.

  13. I think the photographer took a bunch of different photos of the same place but just from different angles and put them together in photoshop somehow. These photos are really unique and I like them.

  14. I think the photographer took these photos by taking two separate photos and matching up the photos to made it look as one, or by stretching one photo to have that sort of curve from the road to the whole picture. I’m not to sure of the photos he used in Photoshop but I’m assuming he must have used a tool that could either bend or stretch to make that slide looking affect.These photos really visually impact me, I love the way he made a birds eye view photo turn into something unconventional and new. It reminds me of a Pano photo on an iPhone except instead of going from left to right horizontally it moves from up down vertically.

    The photographer made these photos by using Photoshop without a doubt, I think that they took multiple photos from all different angles and heights.
    What tools might they have used in Photoshop, based on what you know so far? I think that they used warp image, blending tools, different layers and lots of work.

    Like I don’t and can’t comprehend where the start to finish points are. They make me know that i can still learn so much more and pretty dizzy man

  17. I’d guess that the photographer used a drone to take the original, then some Photoshop to get the cool image. I’m unfamiliar with Photoshop, but maybe some sort of warp tool to blend the images at the seam. The image makes me see the world a bit different, like its new and full of possibility’s and unexplained things.

  20. I like these photos, they remind me of inception, i don’t think the photos naturally came out like that, they have obviously been heavily edited and distorted. I think these photos were taken with a drone of some sort before being edited.

  21. i honestly have no idea how the photographer took these photos, he somehow curved the photo and does it so well, it doesn’t look like her took multiple photos and photo shopped it together, because the transition is too smooth. it looks like they used a drone or some vehicle to get them up high to take the photos. When i look at the photos i feel amazed, surprised, and just wow.

  22. 1) How do you think the photographer made these photos?
    A: I think the photographer took 2 different photos one at normal level then one up from a higher level maybe was even in a plane to take the higher photo looking down.
    2) What tools might they have used in Photoshop, based on what you know so far?
    A) Could of used something that made it more blurry or something like that.
    3) How do these photos make you feel?
    A) I honestly don’t really know how this makes me feel. But I do know I like it a lot and wish I could be that talented.

  23. The photographer took a aerial view then morphed it together with the side, and head on. You could use Photoshop to warp the two images together to get that unique photo. The photos sorta shows me the world in a different aspect and is kinds unique and cool.

  24. I honestly have no idea how this photographer made these photos. Maybe they had something to do with slow shutter speed and photoshop? I think in photoshop he would use the warped tool. These photos kinda come with a surprise factor, you start off with thinking of how nice of a photo in bird’s eye view, but then it ends up being at eye level.

  25. to me it seems as if he took many photo graphs at different angles and used a series of warping and masking and used the line of the tops of the houses in one of the images to follow into the same line but at a different angle

  28. I think the photographer made these photos in photoshop by using two different pictures and then morphing them together using the cropping and transforming tools. These photos are honestly so cool and they make me really interested in how he created them. It makes you feel like you’re on a roller coaster or big hill looking downwards or upwards, depending on the photo.
