Project Progress: Part 2

I am currently in the process of editing my photos in to seamless 360 degree images. After attending my lectures and watching the tutorial DVDs I have learnt techniques that have been useful in stitching the photographs together. The techniques I have been using include non destructive editing using layer masks and destructive editing using the free transform tools warp, scale, rotation and perspective functions. It is unfortunate to have to use destructive editing techniques but I do not know of a non destructive method while performing the same function as the free transform tool. I have also been saving my PSDs progressively so I have created an organised list of PSDs containing the various stages in the stitching process.

Here is a preview of the stitching:




I have however noticed a flaw in my entire project. My choice in theme is fairly poor, and on top of that there is nothing in the images to suggest any theme because there are no signs or people walking their dogs to suggest that these are dog walking areas. This is a problem because the images on their own are not very visually interesting. There is a bit of variation between foreground and background but neither are too interesting and to achieve a relatively high grade this is not acceptable, and I am considering taking new images under a different theme.
