More 3d Testing

March 5th 2011

So after my last lot of 3D images there were a few things I wanted to sort out, such as making my 2 images, left eye and right eye, closer together and more matching, to see if my results were any better. I also wanted to try out 3D images which have more activity in them, such as more object and a bigger depth of field.

I wanted to try out how a 3D image would look with lots of different object within it. This image doesn't really work very well, it is flat as a 3D image.

..........................

More testing with objects. This one works better than the first, I think because it has depth of field in it. A background with something in the foreground.

Left Eye

Right Eye

These 2 images are not as exact to one another as the previous left/right eye images I have taken. This is because I moved the camera while taking them to create the double exposures/movement in them.

3D

Even though the 2 images to make this 3D image are not as exact to one another as they should be to create a 3D image the result works really well and I love how you can see the overlapping of the 2 images. Because they are not close together, when you look at the image with 3D glasses you get double exposure as well as a 3D image, which I really like. I also did a black and white version.

I think I prefer 3D images in black and white. When you look at a 3D image in colour you don't really notice the colour of it, but when you look at a 3D image that is black and white the subject stand out a lot more and so does the 3D effect.

In this one I moved the images closer together, how they usually are in 3D. The image is a lot more defined, as there is not multiple exposures any more. This makes the 3D side to the image a lot stronger..

..........................

I tried experimenting with 3D using an earlier image that I had taken of Bish. Instead of using the 2 different images from the left and right eye, I used 2 of the same image but positioned one further along so that you are able to see one in red and one in blue. The image doesn't really work that great as a 3D image.

3D Testing

February 15th 2011

So I took some photo's of Bish to experiment wityh creating 3D images of my own. I had to take 2 images for each 3D image I wanted to make, one from my left eye and the other for the right, to put together. I was unhappy with how most of the images turned out. I think that I perhaps may of taken the 2 images too far apart.

Before: 2D

After: 3D

I think that this image works particulary well in 3D mainly because of thye shadow that is cast from bish onto the wall behind him. Like the James Dequeaker 3D fashion images, I felt that the ones with shadow in them presented themselves the best in 3D. I think that it gives layers to the image in 2d which are only emphasized in 3D.

This is one of the images that didn't turn out so well in 3D. There is no depth in the image as a 2D photograph and so little comes alive when the image is made into a 3D one. Also I think that I may have moved a little too much inbetween both images and so when they have been put together they are a little  unbalanced.

My 3D Glasses Have Arrived!

..... So I’ve finally been able to view the 3D images below in 3D. I have to say that the better ones of Jacques Dequeaker fashion images are definitely the ones with strong shadows in them cast onto the backgrounds from the bodies of the models. They create a strong sense of layering and things being in front of one another. Also the ones with the trees in as they have a lot of things going off in them and lots of depth, creating better 3D images. As well the 'Fashion Animals' images by Helmo are so much more beautiful and subtle in 3D than 2D. I think I’ll have to experiment with something similar with this.

How To Make 3D Photos

Jacques Dequeker (Anaglyphic 3D)

Fashion photographer, Jacques Dequeker, uses anaglyphic 3d often within his fashion images. I like how he experiments with overlapping on a 3d image and blurring. Its something that I will have to explore when creating my own 3d images. I am yet to see what they look like in 3d as I need to get myself some 3d glasses.

HELMO (French Design Studio)

“Bêtes de mode” (Fashion Animals)

Images by HELMO for the Lafayette Galleries in Paris. I really love the colour within the images and the textures of the different animals. They remind me slightly of the images I took of Bish, 'Above Americano's', because of the colours and the overlapping.

One website said to check the images out in 3d glasses. I didn’t recognise them as anaglyphic 3d images and i'm unsure as to whether they would work or not but it gave me an idea. 3d is quite popular at the moment and I thought that it would be good to experiment with this within my own work. Its something different and exciting. I also think it would be something good for my end of year degree show/exhibition. I want people to remember my work and talk about it and I think this is one way of standing out from the crowd. It will get people to interact with my work. As well as this 3d is a step up from 2d, its more realistic, as in how we view things. I think that this fits in well with the idea of Bish and his life, as the project is about something real. I want to show him as more than just a flat 2d image, I want him to come alive, to stand out and be noticed.

25th January 2011

So.. I must admit I haven't done much work over the Christmas holidays however I've started back at university this week, which means play time is now officially over. I don't want to make excuses but since the new year I've been on a bit of a downer and haven't been able to really concentrate on work due to other things pre-occupying my mind. I think what's really unsettling me the most is the fact that I will be leaving university this year and venturing out into the real world. I'm completely terrified as I'm still unsure of which direction I'd like to go in and I have no idea what to expect from it all. I'm sure that by the time it comes to the degree show, when I'm deep in photographer mode and have a project that I'm 'over the moon' with that I'll believe in myself that little bit more and be able to leave university on a high as I did after my second year.

 

Broken Boiler

5th of December, 2010

So we were at Bishwan's terraced house in the centre of Barnsley when he decides to run a bath. I was in the bedroom in the dark with the laptop, the light was on on the landing and once again the boiler was playing up. He was stood in the doorway of the bedroom looking out onto the landing, checking on the boiler to make sure that it didn't go off while the water was running. The light from the landing coming through to the bedroom was really intense and contrasted beautifully against the blackness of inside the bedroom.

This is my favourite image from the set. I love the depth of field and texture of the door which just adds that something else to the image. The door feeds you into the image to where bish is and then the banister going down the stairs feeds us that little bit further toward what bish is looking at, the boiler. I also love the outline of bish's body created by that vibrant landing light.

I also took some images of Bishwan in the bath however I didn't get many good results from this, as the lighting in the bathroom was poor. I wanted some images of Bish underneath the water, just to play around with textures and layers within an image however this didnt work out well either, as Bish didn't seem to cope well with being sumberged in the water.

I edited the colours of the images by using selective colour in photoshop. I changed the black's to dark blues/purples by taking away yellow and changed the yellows to a more lighter, peachy/white tone by taking away cyan,yellow and black. The images have uploaded slightly pixelated, which is annoying as I haven't noticed this before when uploading images.
