3D Anaglyph
3D Anaglyph:
3D Anaglyph images contain two separate images that are coloured as red and cyan and are layered slightly misaligned to create the stereoscopic effect. 3D glasses usually have a red lens on the left and a cyan lens on the right, and in the image, there are two layers that have different colour channels, one layer only has the red channel turned off which turns the image cyan while the other other channel has the green and blue channels turned off so that the image turns red. The 3D illusion only works if the cyan layer is moved to the left and the red layer is moved to the right; This tricks the brain into seeing different images seeing as the red lens filters out cyan but the cyan layer is moved to the left while the cyan lens filters the red layer but the red layer is moved to the right.
In this photo there are two coloured image layers: one photo with a red filter and the same image but with a cyan filter. The pictures are slightly misaligned to create the illusion of depth in a 2D image. The tree trunk and the thick branches serves as the subject while the many twigs and thin branches are the background of the photo and wearing the 3D glasses create distance between the big trunk to the small branches.
Plan:
While I was drawing my plan, I wasn't sure about which subject to photograph, so shoot 1 is just me trying the 3D anaglyph effect, but on my 2nd shoot and continuing forward, I decided to take photos of plants and flowers.
Shoot #1:
Before:
Edit #1
EBI: In this shoot, I intended the railing on the left to be the subject, but in this shoot, both of the railings became the subject which lessens the effect of depth seeing as there is more than 1 subject. I also intended to use the lines on the structure of the building as leading lines to direct our eyes from the first railing to the second railing but the angle of which the photograph was shot makes this idea less apparent. For my next shoot, I want to focus the pictures on one subject.
For my next shoot, I will focus on one subject to make it appear larger in the picture.
Shoot #2:
Images Before Edited:
After Editing:
WWW: I positioned the subject near the camera to make the subject appear bigger than the background, I also used the rule of thirds to make sure that the subject is the main focus in the image.
EBI: The 3D illusion doesn't really apply to my images seeing as there is no other subjects in the photo, which makes it harder to see the illusion of depth in the image.
For my next shoot, I will include many subjects behind the main subject to make the main subject stand out.
Shoot #3:
Before:
Proof:
After:
WWW: The main flower on both pictures follow the rule of thirds seeing as the main flower is on the first third of the frame.
EBI: The main subject on both photos are overlapping with the flower in the background, the composition is a bit off seeing as there is more negative space in right rather on the left.
For my next shoot, I will add space between the different flowers and take a closer picture of the main flower.
Shoot #4
Before:
Proof:
After:
WWW:
- The subject is sharp, clear and in focus.
- The main subject leads our eyes to the flower in the background.
- The flower is in the middle of the frame
- There is rhythm in the photo shoot seeing as the flower in the background looks similar to the main flower.
- The texture of the flower is clearly visible in the photo.
-The light source was the sun and it is a bit overexposed because the shoot was taken in the afternoon.
- I made sure that there was space between the main flower and the flower in the background.
EBI:
- There are other flowers in the background that are being covered by the main flower which distracts our eyes from the main flower.
- The picture is a bit overexposed.
- The main flower is facing away from the frame.
- There is more space in the right side of the frame rather than the left side.

- The subject is sharp, clear and in focus.
- This photo follows the rule of thirds seeing as the main flower is in the first third, the background is lined up on the first horizontal line of the third and the other flower is in another third.
- The texture of the flower is clearly visible in the photo.
-The light source was the sun and it is a bit overexposed because the shoot was taken in the afternoon.
- I made sure that there was space between the main flower and the flower in the background.
EBI:
- The picture is a bit overexposed.
- There is more negative space in the left rather than the right side.
- The composition of the photo shoot makes it look like the flowers are on an equal plane.
- The stems of the flowers in the background are distracting our eyes from the subject.

EBI:
- Only the bud of the flower is clear while the stem is outside of the depth of field.
For this image, I like the concept of the branch being in front of the frame and the tree being behind the branch, but the exposure in the image is a bit too bright seeing as the camera was set on the 'P' setting instead of Manual Exposure and the camera focused on the branch collar instead of the end of the branch, and the light is shining against the camera.
Shoot #5:
I was not able to shoot flowers and plants outside due to the heavy rain.
