3D Images: 

Evaluation on 3D Images

This has been fun to do finding out how the 3D effect is accomplished on the images.

The photographer that I have been using as example for this is a Danish photographer Lars Brandt Stilsen who is located in Berlin, Germany.

His pictures show how effective the 3D works his photos are in black and white with colour added to it then formed into the 3D effect.

My own attempt shows my effect to be recently successful and my final images of a building in Corfu shows I have succeeded in replicating the effect.

Black and white 3D image

Final 3D image

these images are done in 3D style but I don't think it quite work properly specially the black and white version, except for the one above, with advice from Vinnie he suggest that I stand back from the screen approximately  5 feet with the 3D specs, this has considerably improved the effect of 3D.

I will have to investigate further using more pictures and see if I can improve matters.

To help me to achieve better results, I will be using the following equipment: Tripod, Manfrotto sliding plate and my trusty Sony A350 camera.

These images are examples of Lillian   Schwartz use of computers to manipulate art to produce another form of art.

Image Management part 2

Photo 1

Photo 1 shows the original picture without any editing done to it, as you can see in the top almost centre there is a object in the sky (seagull, no its not dust on sensor, as I was using a bridge camera at that time).

I am using this photograph as an example of image manipulation in its basics form.

Photo 2

Photo 2 shows that I am using the Adobe Workshop Elements 9 and have selected the spot healing brush to eradicate the pesky seagull from the picture

Photo 3

Photo 3 shows the completed action, got shot of the bird

Photo 4

Photo 4 shows the completed photograph without the bothersome bird. this method is very easy to carry out,

The high standard of the editing software makes this simple straight forward action.

Image Management part 2

Introduction 

As I understand from this assignment I have to produce a final image with either small amount of manipulation or go really wild and change the appearance of the subject.

Some examples of image changes are

1. Changing a bland looking sky on a landscape photo to a bright blue sky with white puffy type clouds
2. removing clutter from the images to tidy up the picture 
3. portraiture,  removing blemishes and unsightly marks so the person especially Women who generally a little vain about their appearance.
4. Or it could be as little as removing speck of dust from the picture resulting from dust on camera sensor 

The four photographers I am going to look in to are: 

1. Michael Freeman Landscape & Nature "The definitive guide for  serious digital photographers. 
2. Digital Landscape by (can't remember his name but I do have the book at home).
3. How to photograph everything by Tom Ang, reason for this book, it is about digital photography, where I could get some ideas 
4. Lillian Schwartz. So I will be looking into her profile. 

(And once I have done all this am going on holiday).

 Michael freeman's 

this image even though it's done in colour it can go through the photoshop to convert to black and white image and also the figures in the photo seems to be out of proportion to the rest of the landscape, either that he has used a lenses that alter the perspective view. 

Time awaits for no man (or woman)

Time awaits for no man  (or Woman ) Edition 2 

Time awaits for no man  (or Woman ) Edition 1 

For this mini movie subject, I have used a my kitchen clock to demonstrate  the basic principle for this assignment of stop frame photography, to do this I photographed  the large hand  as I moved the hand's position  every five minutes to make up the hour, it took twelve images to make up this hour 

The software I used for both mini movies was the basic Window's Movie Maker on vista. 

As you can see I did two version of the same movie with title "Time awaits for no man (or woman )".

In edition 1 I used basic tools to make this version.  

In edition 2 I used extra tools to enhance the movie with special effects, this turned out to be better movie then edition 1.

The equipment that  I used for the images to start the process consist of: 

Sony A350 DSLR camera with 16-80 mm Carl Ziess Lens.

Tripod .

Remote Control lead.

The location again was in my flat.  

Evaluation on the mini movies. 

Both movies "timepiece Edition 1 & 2" and "the short journey by  Landrover in ToyTown" went well, as for doing any type of research in to this type of assignment I did not do a lot of it and I certainly  did not see any reason at all for loading down other peoples work, as I understood what was needed,  after being through some of the  previous lessons, all I needed was a subject that was original in thought for it to work, showing the technique of using  the movie maker software,editing and adding titles and credits, special effects and sound.
This has been an enjoyable assignment as I had not done this kind of  photography before, its certainly has given me an appetite to do some more in the future.
as for making any changes to the two subjects done, no I don't thinks so I am more than satisfied with what I have done.

Short Journey By Landrover in Toytown

This short film took me ages to make due to inexperience in the use of the windows movie maker software  but once I got the hang  of it. I did enjoy producing my final movie film. 

having spent a lot of time trying to think of a suitable subject which incorporate the following text editing, credits and music.

I finally decided on borrowing and using my nephew's  road rug which he had as a young child, with a toy land-rover with trailer (thats mine), the location for this epic adventure was in my flat in the lounge here I set my camera (Sony A350 DSLR and 16-80mm lens) on tripod I used manual exposure setting to ensure  the exposure was even through out the scenes. I took at least 40 images and after editing the images on my Photoshop elements 9 finally settling on around 30, which I  used in the final cut. 

Camera Equipment.

The camera equipment I will be using for most of the assignments on the blogsite would be my Sony DSLR outfit, the A350, A100 with the 16-80mm Carl Ziess lens and the 70-300mm SSM "Super Sonic Motor" G series lens  where it  is necessary.
The exception to this if I do studio work there I will use the college Equipment.
