3D Again... Group Shot

Our school celebrates the concept of diversity so well that I think we sometimes forget that there are, in fact, groups of learners in our school that feel at times they are on the outside looking in. They really aren't unless they want to be.

I went into Dan's room this morning to investigate the newly formed "Geek Club" with the idea of creating a "group shot", which was this weeks assignment for Digital Photo (Q1). I was amazed (but not really surprised - they are, after all, self described "geeks") at the enthusiasm from the group around creating a piece of photographic art in the traditions of "old school" stereoscopic imagery, you know, right lens blue and left lens red. Once I explained what I was up to they were all enthusiastic performers/actors who "struck a pose" for a photo and then were able to "freeze" their action while I shifted the camera slightly to the right and captured a second shot. The irony of the moment was not at all lost on them. What a great group to work with! 3D glasses are needed to observe the desired effect!

A previous post from last year http://mdihsdigphoto.blogspot.com/2012/05/3d-imagery.html showed this "process" with a group of my digital photographers.
