Monday has rolled around already. I didn’t even get a chance to do Flashback Friday and a new week is here. So, here is Week 3 of the One Four Challenge. Do you remember those old 3D photos you used to see that needed glasses to see them properly. They always made my Mum feel a bit queasy as she felt they were moving but I loved them.
That was the feel I was after with today’s photo. Of course, it’s not 3D but I wanted to recreate a similar feel. I remember always trying to see them without glasses and loving the slightly bizarre distortion. Hopefully, I’ve hit the mark a little bit. This is something I’d like to play a bit more with. To see the actual effect, you’ll have to click on it to make it larger.
So to do this, I started with the same photo cropped and straightened. In Lightroom I took contrast down a fraction and upped the shadows and clarity, then took it into Photoshop. In PS, I played a bit with colour then added a radial filter and a zoom filter, then a slight gaussian blur. Back into Lightroom, I took the highlights, whites and vibrance down and added a grunge type vignette.

What an interesting effect! It does make me feel a little queasy though… 🙂
this also makes it look a bit like a time travel sequence- I like it.
Thank you. I love the concept of time travel so I’m happy with that 😀
me too!! 🙂
Oh I’m feeling seasick! 🙂
that’s how they used to make my mum feel. It made me laugh then. As I get older I understand how it affected her, even if I don’t get seasick lol.
It definitely works and gives that ‘without 3D glasses’ effect. Im with your Mum on this 😜😜 Very fun effect Livonne 😃
Thanks Robyn. Like I say, it’s not one that I’d frame but it was a bit of fun. 🙂
.. a bit of fun is always good 🙂
Yikes! It does my eyes in! But clever effect 😀
Thanks Sue. Yes it’s not one to frame and put on a wall. But I was having some fun with it. 🙂
Cool affect!! I like it.
something a bit different. Certainly not a standard photo though. 🙂 thank you
