A Couple of 3D Favorites

Posted on April 14, 2011 By Tom No Comments on A Couple of 3D Favorites
Photography

I haven’t been doing much with my binocular camera setup lately.  Quite frankly, I find the dual camera system a bit awkward and clumsy.  There is a little carnival set up at Haywood Mall this weekend, and I’m hoping to take it over there for a few shots of the rides, etc.

In the meantime, I’ve been doing some stereo photography with one camera and dual shots, and I’ve gotten a few that I really like. So, pull out your 3D glasses, and enjoy…

Here’s one of the dogwood in our backyard:

Dogwood Anaglyph

I thought this one would work well because it has flowers at different depths. It didn’t disappoint. I took two images with my DSLR at 200 mm. The trick was to find a good focal point. I decided on a flower in the middle so there would be some coming out of the foreground, and a few in the background. I really like the way it came out.

3D photography on a kayak is tricky. It’s hard to stay completely still, and very easy to float away from your shot. Even so, I was able to snap a several suitable pairs of shots on my recent paddling trip to Ebenezer Creek. Here’s one that came out well…

I took this one of Matt, but even with him trying to stay still, there was still some boat movement. The front of his kayak shifted, and couldn’t be aligned properly. The rest of the trees, though, work well.

My favorite so far is this shot…

Everything was still, and I was able to use the large tree in the middle as a focal point. I think this is the best so far.

3D photography has been fun, and I’ve learned quite a lot about parallax and other factors that influence the perception of depth. I can’t spend too much time on it because it can cause me (and others) headaches, but a little at a time has been interesting.
