CS194-26 Final Project

Project: Fake Miniatures

For the fake miniatures project, I first increased the saturation of each image. Then, the user is prompted to select 2 points (the focus of the image). Afterwards, we use a gaussian blur starting from the focus and make it more and more blurry the farther we get from the focus.

I found a photo of the New York Skyline here: https://wallpapercave.com/new-york-skyline-wallpaper

I used the example image on the 194 project website.

This project was really interesting! I never thought that manipulating the blurriness of the images would make some parts of the images look smaller.

Project: Vertigo Shot

For this project, I started off with a subject. I took pictures as I backed up and zoomed into the image. A series of these images creates this vertigo shot.

Here are some results

I encountered some difficulties. First, it was really difficult to keep the camera still. Second, it was difficult to keep the camera zoomed to the same size.
