Taking and Making a 3D Image

Taking and Making a 3D Photo

Using the online tutorial below, take two photos and create a 3D image from those photos.  These photos need to be new photos you will take of an object or objects that will help you create a 3D image.

I would recommend taking 2 images of multiple objects, and you can then choose which one is better to submit to your blog.

This may take a few times shooting and uploading and trying to make them 3D before you actually get the right distance between shots.

Reflection:
What was the approximate distance between your two shots?  How many times did you have to re-take images?  What was the most difficult part about this project and how did you overcome it?

Lighting - Product Photography

Using both studio and natural light, take an object of your choice and create 2 professional images to be put into 2 separate advertisements that would go into a magazine or on a website.

The Photos should use lighting effectively to create an artistic and purposeful effect according to what you want to communicate to your viewer.  You will have to do some research, adjust your lighting and get creative with how you use the lighting available to you in order to achieve the shot you want.  Use your flash to fill in shadow areas if you need to.

Remember, these images are going to be put into an ad that you design, so make sure they are "selling" your product.

Photoshopped Levitation Project

Levitation project

Using your knowledge of photography and photoshop to create an image that makes it look like someone is levitating.

You will need to set up a tripod and select a scene.  Take an image of the person on a chair/stool/table in that scene, then take a photo with the exact same angle and camera settings with no person on the chair/stool/table.

Bring both images into photoshop and use the tools we learned about in class to take out the item the person is standing on.  You can also use the tools to create a drop shadow on the floor.

Here is a link to a tutorial that you can view if you need additional info beyond what we went through in class.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRcyPv8G1aY
