Heathen’s Gate: Ingenious Overlay Reveals History of Ancient Roman Ruin

02 Jun

[ By WebUrbanist in Culture & History & Travel. ]

A pane of glass overlaid with a simple line drawing brings crumbling ruins to live at one of Austria’s most famous historical sites, reanimates a ruin near the Open Air Museum Petronell. When a viewer lines up the illustration with the structure, known as Heidentor (Heathen’s Gate), the image completes itself in a compelling yet entirely low-tech fashion.

historical military city

Located just east of Vienna, Carnuntum dates back to the the 1st Century A.D., when Roman soldiers expanded on an existing town 50,000 people to create a military encampment. Between 354 AD and 361 AD a huge triumphal monument was erected next to the camp and city. Contemporary reports suggest that Emperor Constantius II had it built to commemorate his victories.

historical military encampment

“When the remains of Carnuntum disappeared after the Migration Period the monument remained as an isolated building in a natural landscape and led Medieval people to believe it was the tomb of a pagan giant. Hence, they called it Heidentor.”

Preserving ancient historical sites is often a balance between stabilization and restoration; fully restoring can enhance the exterior appearance, but is costly and arguably diminishes the authenticity of a ruin. This approach strikes a balance, much like augmented overlays in digital history apps.

San Francisco Behind Bars: Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge at Sunset

Alcatraz Seen Through the Golden Gate Bridge – San Francisco, California

San Francisco is no stranger to photography icons. As you drive across the Golden Gate Bridge it’s quite easy to see Alcatraz sitting in the middle of the entry to the San Francisco Bay, but its not as easy to see both Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge in clean alignment. One such low angle view does exist and its quite fun to see Alcatraz of all places behind bars… I mean the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge. Insert great sunset light, a sailboat and a pelican and it rounds the scene out to a rather fun photo.

same like my previous one but better, with fixed reflections and tuned stereo separation to improve the 3d effects. PS: I’ve driven slower for the effect. This video doesn’t show how bad/good player I am

DEUS EX HOMINE – San Francisco 3D Moco Time-lapse by Golden Gate 3D (GG3D)

To view properly in 3D, hover over the 3D button in the bottom right corner of the video and select “Change Viewing Method…” Pick from several anaglyph (colored glasses) and stereo modes. Side-by-side works well for 3DTV’s. If your 3DTV doesn’t automatically detect the side-by-side input, go into the 3D menu and manually select it. HTML5 stereo view requires NVIDIA 3D Vision. NVIDIA has chosen “Deus Ex Homine” as “Best 3D Video of 2011 www.3dvisionlive.com If you have NVIDIA 3D Vision, you can also view at NVIDIA’s 3D Vision Live, which offers a higher quality stream than YouTube: www.3dvisionlive.com The full 2D 1920 x 1080p version and behind-the-scenes photos are available on Vimeo: vimeo.com “Deus Ex Homine” comes from Latin meaning “god built by humans.” That “god” might be the tools – our machines and technologies, the city – our caves of concrete and steel, and the networks – the highways and waterways that are the lifeblood of our cities. With our technology, we conquered and reshaped the natural world. As we have overrun our planet’s surface, more and more of us live in the fantastically complex artificial biomes that are our cities. Modern societies and economies depend on these constructs. Bridges and servers connect us, cars and planes move us, farms and restaurants feed us, and cargo ships and oil tankers make it all possible. The “Makers” among us forge machines – electromechanical gods – that reshape and govern humanity. Automobiles. Typewriters …

60-Second Photo Retouching — “Golden Gate Bridge”

24 Oct

In this photo session, I am turning the image into a stark and moody duotone, as opposed to enhancing the picture. I first convert it to a black-and-white picture with the “Polarizer” (to bring out the bridge towers — otherwise, they become too dark for the picture), and then I do various functions to bring the tone down, such as using the Vignette — note in the video that I use the Quick Edit “Fill Light Control” to keep the shadows up.
