Felix Russo by Lansdale<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Member Felix Russo presented his talk on 3D photography to a delighted audience at the monthly PHSC meeting in Toronto. Felix drew upon a number of his PhotoEd<\/a> magazine specials on 3D plus some old traditional images collected by members. All example images are converted to anaglyph-style stereos making it easy to view them in colour and monochrome using easily available glasses with cellophane lenses of red (left) and blue (right).<\/p>\n

Felix showed many inexpensive ways to create digital stereo such as split prisms or mirrors, sliding beams for single cameras, or even the cha-cha technique<\/a>\u00a0of taking two shots, one with weight on the right foot and a second with weight on the left foot. The technique is demonstrated here by Robert Lansdale using a Nikon DSLR. An interesting website is that of Julian Beever<\/a>. Beever\u00a0uses 3D concepts to fool the eye into seeing his sidewalk chalk drawings as 3D images. Take a look!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The talk on 3D is\u00a0very timely as modern day 3D printers take hold, allowing\u00a0creation of all kinds of 3D items. Toronto Photographer Ed Burtynsky<\/a>, famous for ultra large images a few years ago, gave a key note talk at the be3dimensional conference<\/a> here in Toronto this weekend. His talk was the subject of a Globe and Mail<\/a> column<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

Felix\u00a0covered the concepts of stereo such as ways to imply stereo in 2D images, windows and frames, as well as the subject placement to best illustrate stereo. Felix showed that a key to stereo is a common human eye spacing<\/a> and our brain’s ability to correctly merge left and right eye images. Sample pictures were taken from his magazine as well as traditional stereo cards.<\/p>\n
