Shadowy Secrets: Colorful Layering Creates Trick 3D Murals

09 Dec

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Street Art & Graffiti. ]

3d illusion art closeup

Worthy of a double-take twice over, these convincing wall artworks reveal imaginary depths and amazing arrays of color … all seemingly hidden behind dull peeling paint and inside innocuously crumbling facades.

While he does not say much about himself, 1010 is both a gallery and street artist  in Germany with a passion for surreal figures, geometric illusions and other visual trickery.

While the shapes are simple the shadows are incredibly complex, each layer built up with layers of color and light.

This particular series of optical illusion ‘holes’ spans both sides of his portfolio – smaller-scale works are framed and hung in galleries while larger-scale installations are set in rough exterior urban landscapes.

His other pieces that include characters like birds and snakes are of a similarly simplified style, but their cartoonish nature masks careful color and tone selection as well as time-consuming implementation.

These impressive photos will trick you into thinking they’re paintings

16 Sep

painting30.jpg

Photography, as an art form, can be quite elastic. It can be used to capture the ‘decisive moment’ or a once-in-a-lifetime split-second shot. Or, the form expands into more studied, careful, fine art approaches. These photos fall into the second category. Their use of color and lines, artificial lighting and repetition give them a lot in common with paintings – so much so that they might just trick you at first glance.

Buy our New Trick Photography eBook and Go into the Draw to a DLSR or Lens to the value of $1500

29 May

Last week we let you know about our brand new Trick Photography eBook with a 25% discount for early birds.

Whilst only a week old, this eBook is already inspiring thousands of people to charge out of their creative comfort zone, knowing they have one of the best in the business by their side.

Given the popularity of this ebook in such a short time, we’re going to up the ante a little more …

On top of the tidy 25% discount you already get, order in the next two weeks and you’ll also go into the draw to win a new DLSR or a new lens to the value of $ 1,500 USD!

The Prize

The winner can choose either a new DLSR or combination of lenses to suit their needs up to the value of $ 1500 USD.

The winner can choose to spend their $ 1500 USD on a single camera or lens. Alternatively they might choose to buy 2-3 lenses (as long as the total does not exceed $ 1500 USD).

So, Canon owners can choose Canon mount lenses. Nikon owners can choose Nikon mount lenses. Micro 4/3 camera owners can choose lenses to suit their cameras.

FAQ

Based upon previous competitions I know we’ll get a number of questions on this so here’s some FAQs:

  • What if I already purchased Photo Magic? You’re in the draw and don’t need to do anything else.
  • Is this open to all international readers?  Yes. We’ll ship the lenses to you anywhere at our cost. Our preference is to use B&H Photo and Video but if you live outside of their delivery area we’ll work with a local supplier to get your prize to you.
  • Can I enter more than once?  No, there is only one entry per person. Multiple purchases of the eBook only get you one entry.
  • Are there any conditions of entry?  Yes, just one. The only condition of entry is that you allow us to publish your name on the blog when you’re drawn as a winner (we’ll keep any other details private). This way everyone will know who has won (we’ve previously had winners ask not to be named which has been difficult to be transparent about winner announcements).

Here’s the deal in a Nutshell

Buy Photo Magic before Tuesday 11th June and you get:

  • 25% off the eBook – worth $ 19.99, you get it for $ 15
  • An entry into the $ 1500 USD DLSR or lens giveaway
  • Plus (and most importantly) you’ll come away from reading the eBook with some amazing trick photography skills – this eBook teaches you how to take photos your friends and family won’t believe are possible!

To enter, simply buy Photo Magic before midnight on Tuesday 11th June (Eastern US time). We’ll draw the winner that evening and notify them of their win and then publish their name here on the dPS blog. If the winner doesn’t respond within 7 days we’ll draw another winner and publish their name on the blog.

As this post goes up you have 2 weeks to take advantage of this offer – so don’t hesitate and pick up your copy of Photo Magic here today!

Filmed on saturday the 9th of October at the Brisbane Powerhouse. The security guards were onto it with not allowing photography (bless them), so hopefully ‘videography’ is allowed……and i had to just hit record when i had the all clear and whatever song Gotye had next on the setlist was what would be filmed. Lo and behold it was the one everyone’s mad for….. Big thanks to Alex for being my security guard keen eye eagle and watching my flanks for security guards allowing me to concentrate on my filming.

High Megapixels Magic Trick

18 Nov

Questions? Go here: www.youtube.com Here’s how to get more megapixels out of your camera using a tilt/shift lens. Note, this will work in a controlled environment only, obviously. Here’s some full-size samples, enjoy! img296.imageshack.us img237.imageshack.us img265.imageshack.us FAQ Question: I have a non-tilt/shift lens, can I mount it on a tripod and pan the camera around? Answer: Shifting a tilt/shift lens will keep the flat perspective that you can not accomplish by panning the camera around. Panning the camera around will lose the perspective. Question: What about using the focusing rack to shift the camera and lens combo? Answer: Focusing rack is designed for macro photography only to make it easier getting the subject in focus without touching the lens. Shifting the camera and lens combo may work only if your subject is up close but not when it’s too far away. Question: If I want to keep similar aspect ratio, is there a way to do that? Answer: Turn the camera vertically, rotate the tilt/shift lens 90º to the left or left, and then shift away. Question: What about GigaPixel? Answer: Again, it won’t keep the flatness.
