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 you do not do this against or anything similarly flat. This will defeat the purpose

3. make sure your main subject is in the center and properly positioned, then take the photo.

4. the next step is for you to move your camera or tripod carefully to around two to 2.5 inches to the left and once your main subject is in the center then take a shot of it.  the repeat the same process on the right side.

5. make sure you cover all angles - up, left, right, down.

6. transfer you files to the computer

7. make your choice of software to create your 3d image.

you can find a link to how i did it in one of my other blog posts

How will i analyse my work?

unless you have seen my final write ps for my digital and analogue 3d projects, when it came to analysing my work, after each day, or after each part of my projects i wrote up what i did, like for example my first analogue 3d project, as it was not successful, i wrote up what went wrong and how i could improve from next time, then i accomplished my second attempt and wrote about that including what went well, what did not, etc. so that is how i will analyse my work.

Pinhole Camera's - 19/09/17

Pinhole Camera's - 19/09/17 To add to my previous blog on health & safety in the dark room, also in Tuesday's lesson, we also learned on techniques & how to do pinhole photography, & of course how to use pinhole cameras. when doing this , i learned quite a few technical skills, but i will admit i still need to improve in doing this as i was unable to get many good photos as i struggled with the different lengths of time of exposure. For those who do not know, a pinhole camera    is a simple  camera  without a lens but has a tiny aperture. The  pinhole  aspect, effectively is a light-proof box (preferably a shoe box) with a small hole in one side with a little cover of tape, covering the pinhole. When you are wanting to capture the subject you want to capture, when you lift up the little cover, light from the area, passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which can be known as the...

Monday Library Visit With Steve

On mondays lesson, with Steve we went to the library, the purpose of this was to do more research for our current learning subject of Order & Chaos photography. As we had already done research using computers & created mood boards of sorts, but this time it was to mostly collect pictures & research a different way, well collect research that is accurate as the internet can be decieving but it was mostly to get ideas for what we want to do for our own attempt at order & Chaos (we do not have to both we can do either one).

Pinhole Photographer Research & photo analysis

Photography Homework Research one photographer & analyse one of their photos The photographer I have chosen to research & work analyse is Abelardo Morell. The reason why I have chosen to research him & analyse his work is because, as he is known for his camera obscura work, I find his photos very outstanding from others & very inspiring from others in which I have previously seen of the camera obscura calibre. Biography Abelardo Morell is a photographer who is well known for his mastery of the Camera Obscura technique/subject. Morell was born in Havana, Cuba in 1948 & immigrated with his family to New York in 1962. From there he earned a multiple of degrees, in effort of course, to improve his skills & progress in his desired field. He earned a bachelor of arts from Bowdoin college in 1977, master of fine arts from Yale University school of art in 1981 & an honorary doctorate of fine arts degree from Bowdoin in 1997. He has also been many fe...
