Even though this is a music video it gave me a lot of ideas of doing for portraits. Itmakes me want to experiment with different types of portraiture. Plus I love this song! Hope everyone enjoys.

We watched this mock commercial for “Photoshop” in my media class today while exploring the implications technology has on our culture, especially through advertising and other media. So I thought I’d share it with you!

This guy uses the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to make this video with unbelievably smooth transitions using odd in-game tricks and camera manipulation.
Examples of Tilt-Shift Photography
While reading the first section of the book regarding depth of field, I was reminded of this remarkable trick of photography called ’tilt-shifting’ where a short depth of field is simulated on a long one, resulting in a ‘miniature effect’. This can be done with the camera or in imaging editing software.
I have my great grandfathers stereoscopic camera which he used to take many photos of his travels around the world, and a lot of the slides he made of the resulting dual pictures. When reading the portion about stereoscopic cameras, I noticed they left this more modern application of the camera out. Computers can be used to make the pictures switch quickly between one another and force a 3-D ‘Wiggle’. This can also be an example of Parallax error, if you were to switch between a viewfinder’s view and the lens view, you would get the same result

There is a cool technique that can be done with a Holga similar to a panorama. But, rather than trying to line up the image edges, they are purposefully overlapped. Usually 7-8 images make up a 180° image. What you get is more of a wide angle effect, rather than a panorama.
Here is a link to a guide on how to shoot one yourself. The rest of the site has some other great tips and advice on Holgas.
Test your color acuity with the Farnsworth Munsell Hue Test. Horizontally drag ‘n’ drop the squares in the correct hue order. Relevant to those in color, but anyone can enjoy it.
I’m curious what other people get, especially those in color. Post your score?
Crista = 0 (I was surprised!)
Take a look at some of these rare color photos from the Great Depression being hosted by the Library of Congress!
Truly some interesting and insightful images.
