2. High Speed Photography
High speed photography is the act of taking pictures at
a very fast motion to capture and freeze what is
happening within the photograph. It does not usually
contain motion blur as the actions have been frozen
and stopped sharply to produce a crisp final product.
High speed photography is used to capture things that
are impossible to see with a human eye, e.g. a bubble
popping or water splatters.
To work in high speed photography you will require a
well lit location due to using very high shutter speeds
which will not be open long enough to allow a large
amount of light into the camera’s shutters. You will also
require a high aperture setting when using this
technique to ensure that as much light as possible can
get to the image whilst using the fast shutter speeds. The
success if high speed photography is mainly due to
photographers relying heavily on burst flash
units, meaning that short flash durations are used to
ensure that the images are not overly exposed to light.
The shorter the burst of light the better.
3. 3D Photography
3D photography, sometimes known as stereoscopy, is the technique used to
make photographs have a sense of depth and creates an illusion that the
picture pops out at you. Most methods present two separate images, separately
to the left eye and right eye. These images are then combined together to
make an image which looks strange to the naked eye but once wearing 3D
glasses changes your view and makes them image ‘come to life’ and look as
though the subject is right in front of you and not just as an image.
1.
To make a 3D photograph you firstly need to decide on the content you
want in the image. It is recommended that the subject of your image has as
little movement as possible, preferably stationary, as photograph’s without
motion blur work best for 3D shots.
2. When shooting the two images, move the camera two inches horizontal on
the second shot. It does not matter if you go left or right but keeping the
images in line is critical for this method to be successful, using a tripod can
make this easier than shake from using your hands.
3. Once you have successfully taken both images open them up on
Photoshop, copying and pasting one on top of the other so that you have 2
layers of images open in one tab.
4. Once you have done this, open up the ‘layer style’ box for layer 1 and use
the ‘blending and channels’ option to unselect the red.
5. You then need to select a focal point in your image and drag the red
portion over to its counter part, cropping any leftovers.
6. Once you have saved your file, you should have a finished product that
works with the glasses and your image will have been finished and
successfully created.

4. Light Writing
Light writing is a quickly progressing form of stop motion. The
technique is known as putting ‘drawings’ into a sequence to give
the viewer a sense of movment within the image and creates an
optical illusion. As the sequence is began, the start and end points
can be moved along to create a path/image of light within the
same frame.
