3D Sunset at Beach Haven Wharf

I went down to the wharf at Beach Haven Point last Wednesday (2011-09-28) and took loads of photos as the sun went down. I used both my LG Optimus 3D phone and my Fuji Real 3D W3 camera.

The pics posted here are from my phone only. The LG Optimus 3D tends to flatten the contrast if the subject is too bright - and the Sun is certainly bright. To correct for that I've used GIMP to bring the contrast back a wee bit toward what the scene looked like in my mind's eye.

I have a "thing" about trying to take the best possible photos using (relatively) low-spec camera devices like phone cameras. A clean lens and good framing can produce results I'm very pleased with.

Click on the pics to see them in full size.

To see the "3D" depth, look at the left side and cross your eyes slowly until the two images merge into one, overlapping, and at that point, you see the depth in the scene looking across the water.

3D "HDR" Style Auckland Skyscapes

I was walking home from work late yesterday afternoon and as I crossed the Northern Motorway at Sunset Road, the Sun went behind a cloud. For someone wanting to shoot a photo of the sky that's a good thing. Otherwise the Sun more or less wipes out everything else in the frame because it's so bright.

I took these two photo on my LG Optimus 3D android phone then later used GIMP v2.6 to transform them into something a bit different. But....I didn't actually do anything to them that I coudn't have done with the editing tools right on the phone. I just didn't think of it until later. :-)

These are stereo 3D. I've shrunk them to 1024x384, but that's still a lot bigger than the display size in this post, so if you want to see them larger, just click on them.

3D - Orewa Beach Spring Day

Shot this yesterday (2011 09 10 - Saturday) on the beach at Orewa, north of Auckland.

Stunning Spring Day!

3D pics shot a few minutes ago with my LG Optimus 3D phone / camera. Went outside with my jacket on and it was one of those days you realise you don't need it.

Update: Ok...so when I uploaded these from my phone using the Blogger app, they aren't the full-size and you can't click on them to get the full size. Sorry about that! I've uploaded them again via Chrome.

3D Bus Ride

I made this video last week. I shot it with a Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3 digital camera. For editing, I used Magix Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus. It's cheap, stable and has loads of features and functions for making great 3D video out of the bits and pieces you capture with your camera.
