Kaleidoscope

For this lesson i was set a task of creating a a kaleidoscope image using a DNG file (or the option of using a RAW file is also there) in photoshop. for those that do not know, a Kaleidoscope image is an optical instrument with two or more reflecting surfaces, which are tilted to each other in an angle, so that one or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors, that being the image which is used, are seen as a regular symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to the repeated reflection. it is also dubbed as the kaleidoscope effect.

This is the first time i had ever tried to create this process with a photo, plus during the lesson i also learnt what kaleidoscope is and what its definition, and its other known variations, especially as for years before i kept hearing the term kaleidoscope, and i had no idea what it was.



For the process of creating the kaleidoscope image, i struggled may times, and did a few slip ups, as the image would not flip the way i wanted to, but i found out where i was going wrong, and i adapted and got the hang of the process. To create the image, i followed specific instructions (yes i did make mistakes following the instructions, but i unfortunately do not know how), using the link which you can find below. The image in which i used to create the final produced kaleidoscope, you can find in the link below also, but that does not mean you can not use an image of your own to create a kaleidoscope image; you can check some examples below as well.

unit 6 - 3d research/context

what makes a 3d photograph? a picture that has or appears to have height, width and depth is three-dimensional, A picture that has height and width but no depth is two-dimensional. To full understand the concept of 3D photography, it is important to know how it happens. The simples way to define 3d photography is "it is a form of photography that captures and displays two offset images that are a little different from each other, so much so that they produce 3d images". it is pretty much like putting two images together in a distance similar to that of your eyes. You can create 3d images in different ways using a variety of methods. For majority of photographers, the most ideal way is to take photos using any digital camera and then use a 3d image software for achieving the three-dimensional effect. How is it done? here are a few steps you need to know to follow to take 3d photos 1. get your DSLR 2. prepare to take shots from different angles. however make sure yo...

Unit 6 - Analogue 3D Write Up (update)

as i previously mentioned in my last blog post, i started to do my research and overall started my process of creating my idea for my experimental Analogue 3D as part of my 3D project. In an update from my last post, unfortunately the process in which i was using to progress and create my analogue 3D part of my project, the stencil creator, the finished product from that was to hard for me to create my idea but also the overall picture i used was to small, so meaning it was blurry also. For those that did not know what my original idea was, i was planning on creating a stencil of an image using the link which is in the previous post to crete the stencil, which is of a rose, then get a scalpel, and slice the image diagonally then move some of the cut pieces to make it look like the rose has been cut up into pieces, or sliced into multiple pieces. Fortunately, i figured out a back-up plan, so with some given thought and inspiration from a fellow member of the class, what i decided to...

unit 6 - Analogue 3D Write Up

On Tuesday's lesson, we created our own analogue 3D design, to do with our 3d project unit. For this, we looked into the different types of analogue 3D designs & outlooks, using the knowledge that we gathered & research that we did from a previous lesson. Before we started to do the project, we research ideas of the types of designs in which we wanted to create in our own vision. this included ideas like stencil art, overlapping images etc. Our teacher Chris also provided inspiration via a Pinterest page in which he created for his blog to show us. For this project, i wanted to achieve my own take on a stencil art design, but by making it look like, or giving it i should say, a shattered glass effect. For this process of my project, i gathered an image which i felt would be a, or should i say, a great outcome for my idea for my 3D analogue design - then i took the image and inserted it into a website called -  http://www.stencilcreator.org/ & the i followed...
