Personal Narrative
It was a long slow eight hour car drive to Winner South Dakota. I looked out the car window as we quickly zipped passed fields full of corn, beans, alfalfa, and tall, bright sunflowers. In and out of small rural towns only stopping a couple times for gas. The minutes slowly turned to hours and we finally arrived at my grandmas ranch in the dead of night. I got out of the car stretched and immediately passed out on a fresh set of sheets.
I woke up early in the mourning excited for the fun day ahead of me. I yanked my brother out of bed and we ran outside. We were met with a rush of warm fresh air, there was cooling breeze blowing through the trees. Me and my brother started up two four wheelers and started down the long dirt road with wind in our face. We drove up huge hills covered in thick grass. I could see the slow flowing, muddy river and wide open fields full of hay bails. We drove back to the small ranch house then watched the warm orange sun disappear beyond the horizon.
I woke up next morning dreading the day ahead of me. It was the day we had to go back home. That means another eight hour drive. I dragged myself into the crammed minivan and prepared myself for the long trip ahead of me. We slowly drove ourself out of the small town until all we could see for miles were empty fields and rolling hills. I nodded off into a shaky sleep and awoke in my drive way. Finally home sweet home.
Reflection
For my panorama I chose to use photos from my trip to Winner South Dakota. I used the erase tool with a variety of different opacities to blend my images together. I also used the paint tool to add clouds to touch up seams in between pictures. I particularly like the top portion of my panorama because the images flow together very well making it loom like on big picture. I feel if I had more time I could I have blended the bottom portion of my panorama together to make it look more smooth and flowing. Overall I really enjoyed this project, and am very happy with the outcome.
