3D Video – A BOLT Pop-Up Book [With or Without Glasses]
HOW TO VIEW IN 3D: 23 August 2010 Update: Please note that the 3D menu is now embeded into the new YouTube player. Just mouse over the button labeled “3D” and the menu will pop up. Click on the “3D View Style” menu then select how you’d like to view. You can only see this menu on the video page itself and not on a channel page. You can get out your 3D glasses and choose “Red/Cyan” which are pretty common. If you don’t have glasses, then select “Cross-eyed” or “Parallel” and cross you eyes slightly or focus behind the screen to make the 2 videos overlap into 1. If you’re not able to overlap images with your eyes, you may want to just purchase a cheap pair of glasses somewhere online or buy a 3D movie from the store and use those glasses. Don’t forget to click the full screen button on the bottom right of the video player if you are viewing with glasses. It looks and pops out way more awesome. Sorry, Disney’s fancy RealD polarized glasses don’t work here on YouTube. IF THIS DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU: – Cross-eyed or Parallel viewing can be difficult if you don’t have control over your eye muscles. Try sitting away from the screen a bit or just get some practicing. There are a lot of cool videos like this on the net and tutorials on how to view 3D without glasses. If you still can’t get it right, maybe you’ve made the wrong selection for “Parallel” or “Cross-eyed”. – If you’re using glasses and the image seems to be inside out or not working at all, then use your glasses the …

Will These 5 Robot Photographers Replace Human Photogs as We Know It?
photoBot photo by Claudine Quinn
No, they won’t.
But they’ll take over when you want to take a break from shooting at a party or want to document your day without having to stop what you’re doing!
Meet the anthropomorphic party cameras:
- photoBot is a ‘bot that uses an ultrasonic ranger to detect where people are in a room. Like an adorable T2, he detects people to shoot and shoots them.
- NAO is a humanoid robot that can shoot based off the rule of thirds and the golden ratio. It actually learned what makes a good photo based on these two photography principles.
These robo-photographers are meant to be worn, so they’ll document your day from your perspective:
- The Autographer has 5 sensors that use a super smart algorithm that decides when it’s just the right moment to take a photo.
- The Memoto comes with no buttons because it simply shoots a photo every 30 seconds. Similar to the Autographer, you clip it on and have your day documented!
Other robo-cameras of note are Sony’s Party-Shot camera that sits on a base and takes photos of your party for you and the Instaprint, a little box that prints out Instagram photos based on hashtags.
It’ll be a while before humans are completely replaced with robots, but we wouldn’t mind handing over the duties when our hands are full. How about you?

Pulling Dreamscapes via Orton Effect
Not far from my home is the residence of one of the best teachers of photography in Canada, if not the planet. Freeman Patterson has that incredible ability to not only implant a contagious passion within his student he does so in a way that demands they push their limits. Thankfully for us he has penned no less than 12 books, including four of the absolute best instructional volumes available. His sense of design and use of space have influenced many, many photographers that stand behind a camera today, myself included.
On the opposite Canadian coast, in British Columbia, Michael Orton is one of a very few photographers who has created an effect that has endured both the film and digital ages. Some photographers have re-named the technique for their own purposes, but the fact remains it was Orton who mastered the technique.
In the early 1980’s Orton started experimenting with sandwiching two slides to create a final image. This in and of itself is not unique; many photographers had been doing this for years. What Orton did, however, through his experimentation was to purposefully over-expose the two slides – one by two f/stops and the other by one f/stop. To add his own personal touch he would throw the two f/stop over-exposed image out of focus and thus came the “Orton Effect.”
For the last 30 years this “Dreamscape” style of image has been appearing in camera club competitions, on greeting cards and calendars. We can call the technique what we will, but I am a firm believer in providing credit where due – Michael Orton.
Once digital capture became the norm and film was relegated to disposal at yard sales, many photographers were left trying to discover ways to replicate in Photoshop those techniques that had previously taken considerable practice to master. It took some time for me to develop the recipe that “worked” and closely mimicked what I was able to capture on film. I have tweaked this many times and have yet to acquire that same “feel” as film, but will attribute this to the fact that digital capture simply is different than film.
Please feel free to adjust and season to taste, but this technique should be included in every recipe book. I will not use shortcut keystrokes or use the command or control key function of Mac versus PC platforms. I will assume the reader can understand where, when and how to substitute these keystrokes.
- Open image
- Duplicate background layer and call this new layer “Base Layer”
- Create a duplicate layer of the Base Layer and call this new layer “Screen Layer”
- With the screen layer active, change blend mode to Screen
- With the screen layer active, select Merge Down
- Create a duplicate layer of the “Base Layer” and call this new layer “Blur Layer”
- With the “Blur Layer” active, go to Filter > Gaussian Blur. Adjust the blur to a point where there are no identifiable features; 20 is a good starting point.
- With the “Blur Layer” active, change the blend mode to Multiply, and adjust the opacity and / or fill slider bars to achieve the desired effect.
- Flatten the layers.
Depending on your own taste you might find the blacks have become blocked-up. To adjust for this there are several usual techniques, most often it is easiest to create a curves adjustment layer and simply open those shadows until you begin to see a hint of detail.
Like all cookbooks you adjust the recipe and season to taste.
While there are many photographers utilizing variations of this technique today, it is always refreshing to review the works of the original craftsmen. Study Patterson for his approach to design and how to utilize space, in so doing it his style of image that loans itself best to the Orton Effect; and, review Orton’s work to see how it is possible to move an image from the documentary “I was there” type of picture to a well crafted and intended piece of art that captures the flavour of the place.
