Personal Narrative Panorama 

For Spring Break of 2018, my family and I decided to take a vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama. It is located on a beautiful beach bordering Florida. We decided to take this vacation because they offered many handicap accessible things that allowed my disabled sister to have fun on this excursion as well.

While I was there, I made sure to capture as much as I could. I personally find traveling so inspiring and interesting to see a different lifestyle. We spent some time at the beach, the environment there was absolutely beautiful. I also took advantage of the beautiful scenery at a place we visited called Alligator Alley. It consisted of stunning trees and greenery, very contrasted from the beach. I also visited a dolphin boat tour which was absolutely unreal.

Overall, I loved visiting Gulf Shores. It wasn't a too high profile spring break location so I didn't feel overcrowded. It was a nice and relaxing weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My family and I are planning to visit again next summer so it'll be warmer and we will be able to take advantage of the beach. I loved that my sister got to be included in this, I could tell she really enjoyed this trip.

Reflection

I enjoyed being able to go back to these amazing memories and combine various images to create one image to capture the whole feeling of the trip. I included aspects from every part of the vacation. I even overlaid water and rock textures in the sky. I also overlaid greenery from the Alligator Alley, and added alligator skin over the building. I took advantage of the quick selection tool in this panorama, as well as the shortcut command J. Overall, I feel much more confident using photoshop.
