To create a 3D photograph, two pictures must be taken with about two inches of horizontal separation using a tripod. In Photoshop, the pictures are placed on separate layers and the red channel is removed from one layer. The layers are then aligned on a focal point slightly off-center to produce a 3D effect when viewed through red/blue 3D glasses. Light writing involves using a torch to draw images in long exposure nighttime photographs. High speed photography requires very fast shutter speeds, usually 1/1000th of a second or faster, to capture motion as a single image and requires high light levels on the subject.

2. 3D Photography
To make a photograph look 3D, there needs to be two pictures taken with roughly two inches horizontally
between them, using a tripod is recommended so the images are the in the exact same position. Once in
Photoshop, when the pictures are in two different layers, click on advanced blending and channels and unclick
R. After this, make the Background layer into Layer 0. After this you need to choose a focus point. Not too
central, just off the centre. With the move tool, drag layer 1 with the red over to where it is in layer 0. After
this, crop the parts of the picture that are unwanted and save as. To view the picture in 3D, put on 3D glasses
with the red lens over the left eye.

3. Light Writing
Use a tripod to set up the camera about 10 to 15 ft away from the space which you are able to draw with a torch. You
can do a test shot in the light with a normal shutter speed to test if the picture will be right and you will have enough
room. After this is all fine, edit the shutter speed to around 30 seconds. You can put on a timer for your walk to the
space where you will draw. Once this is done, turn the lights out and get a light.
Once you press the capture button, go to your marked spot and start drawing or writing with your light. After the 30
seconds you can turn the light on and look at your picture.

4. High Speed Photography
To make a high speed photograph, you need a very quick shutter speed on your camera. The faster that the
shutter speed is, the accurate the photograph will turn out. The light that is captured in this quick amount of
time is then turned into an image. Each think that moves when the image is being taken is recorded as a single
image. Most cameras will allow you to go up to 1/1000th of a second, but a really good one will get you up to
1/52,000 of a second. The object that will be photographed e.g. a balloon will need a lot of light shining onto it.
The room needs to be dark. On the camera, the shutter speed will need to be adjusted so that the aperture will
remain open for as long as possible. Once this is set up, take the picture and flash the strobe light once.
