I recently posted in the Gallery a 3D conversion of a very similar picture using the Displace filter and Displacement Map to create the second viewpoint. It had good depth but most of the features inside the picture had double edges. I made this conversion using "brute force."

I divided the picture into five "planes" that could be put on layers and handled separately. Each plane was isolated so that elements of different planes were not on that layer. The sky and trees were the most distant plane. Since this picture is to be the left eye viewpoint I shifted this plane to the left to make the eyes spread to look deeper. The layer above this was the lake and ground, a plane that reached from the very back to the front. I skewed this plane shifting the top edge to the left to match the trees plane with no shifting of the bottom (near) edge. Above this layer was a vertical plane containing the man and bottom edge of the anchor. I observed the lake/ground plane which had been skewed to see how much shift had occurred on a horizontal level with the man's feet and shifted this plane that much. The fourth level up was the shaft of the anchor. I used transform>distort to shift the right edge of the shaft to the left to match where it had been cut from the anchor bottom. This made it appear to run from a few feet into the picture right up to the 3D "window." The final layer/plane was the timber attached to the anchor. Once again I used transform>distort but instead of moving the left edge to the left, I moved it right making it appear to protrude out through the 3D window.

This gave me an image as it would be seen from a viewpoint to the left of the original image. I used it and the original together to make the anaglyph. I know this may be a little hard to follow for those not interested in 3D imagery but I am including the layers panel for those interested. Use anaglyph glasses to view the final result and I hope you enjoy it.

Hi, Guy,
With anaglyph glasses the anchor beam projects toward the observer nicely, but all deeper objects appear as overlapping , un-registered layers.

Attached is a 3D conversion I prepared by disproportionate geometric transformation ( for those able to free-view either by parallel gaze or by crossed gaze.)

Last Winter my wife and I bought canoes. We are still getting used to them. This was our first outing on a river that had some current. Previously we had kept to local lakes that have no current. It is a lot of fun to be getting a different perspective from our extended back yard.

Beautiful, Erich, just beautiful!

Hi, Erich,
That’s not OOF, that’s just really heavy humidity… which I experienced on that very bog in front of that cranberry packing shed 60-odd years ago… the humidity was heavy and the green heads were thick as well. That was when I learned the meaning of the word “slog”!
Love any images from Double Trouble!

Hi, RG,
I’m thinking it’s trying to pull itself out of the ground and that any such image of a tree with such obviously unnatural intent requires a darker, more sinister setting than the cheery, bright summer’s day you documented.
JMO,

Hi, Steve,
Good to see you!
I really like the image and especially its composition, but I’m pretty sure that your exposure exceeded your camera’s sensor’s dynamic range, meaning, basically, the whites on the horse’s face and that damned blotch of white in the background are overexposed to the extent that all highlight detail is unrecoverable.I’d bet that your camera’s histogram would have revealed that characteristic bright spike at the right end that is the camera’s way of shouting “TIME OUT….OVEREXPOSURE.

I love the shot, but s—- happens! Been there, done that, and learned from it

It’s nice to see you back here and surely hope to hear and see more from you!

Best regards,
Dave

Wow Dave, and I thought I have a good imagination. “excuse me would you please over the bridge again”. Oh and wait until I give you the cue to start walking across the bridge. And finally don’t look at the camera. Kinda kills the spontaneity. 😀
Always happy to hear from you. It’s been awhile.


Hi, Frank,
Kill Spontaneity? In still photography? Yeah, only if you let it! You’ll know it and they will know it, but at that distance in the image…no one else will know it! In my experience many such ad hoc (?) de facto(?) models can be most cooperative when offered a copy of the image (Ain’t digital great?).
And of course, the fewer people at the site the better - a sense of limited camaraderie is easier to attain without a crowd!

I was looking at my Arizona photos today and found one that I had neglected. So here it is.

Erich,
This one image captures so many essential aspects of the desert Southwest!
Nice job!
I agree w/ comments on shadows of the tree.

You clearly had a wonderful trip!

Dave,

Wow, did you ever pull this one together?
Subdued lighting, low chromicity, a sense of a uniformly dirty, gritty environment, and excellent posing by two appropriate models well placed and pose in an appropriate scene…?
I’d guess “YES”!!!

An incredibly effective image.

Great job!

Hi, Frank,
I do like this!

Had I been you and had my druthers I would have tried to get those hikers to back up so you could have caught them starting to cross the bridge.
Why?
Strictly a personal quirk!
Bridge crossing has long (to me) metaphorically symbolized a definitively assumed commitment to what had previously been seen as one of several possible routes to a solution.
Stepping on the bridge is symbolic of that “one step that begins a journey of a thousand miles”.

Over analyzed? Likely so!
