If you plan your panoramic shot sequences just a bit, there are some great Open Source tools that will help you to stitch the photos together into a single panoramic image. Here’s a great tutorial on using Hugin and Autopano in Ubuntu to automate the alignment, correct for lens distortion at the seams, and adjust […]
In response to yesterday’s post about creating lenticular images by splicing two photos together, MAKE reader Benedikt Seidl sent us a utility that makes the slightly tedious job a bit easier. Some years ago i made a php-script for Lenticular images. You can also make one Lenticular image from three pictures and choose how many […]
Jason has a great write up about the advantages of using a flash diffuser and an off-camera flash. He has a bunch of great examples, and a nice tutorial at the end of his article. After seeing the results, you will want to try it out too! I’m going to talk about how to make […]
Lenticular imagery, the types of photos which change depending on the viewing angle, are really common in children’s books and display advertising, but it’s also possible to create a simple lenticular image yourself using your own photography. You won’t need a zig-zaggy plastic lenticular lens to place over your photo, but you will need a […]
From the MAKE: Flickr pool Arduino shirt! Analog Computer Bouncing Ball Aged resistor macro
This is really great looking camera stabilization rig. It certainly can compete with the professional models and seems to cost a lot less. I really like the universal joint that allows for some incredible movement. Inspired by the Steadicam Merlin, and unwilling to spend £500 on that device, I set about making my own, following […]
From the MAKE: Flickr pool Flickr member bengt-re serves up this dusty electronics eye candy of a 47Ω resistor in the wild. I sure enjoy me some good ciricuit board macro and this shot has some sweet detail including specs on it’s creation – Camera: Canon EOS 40D Exposure: 0.5 sec (1/2) Aperture: f/13 Focal […]
