3d adventures in the forest...







Went for a quick whip out to the forest today with my girl and a bunch of equipment to continue working on the difficult task of shooting 3d forest scenes. There is nothing easy about working on these sort of spots and aside from the fact that it's a 1km walk to the location, once you get there you have to do battle with leeches which will leave you bleeding for hours as we both found out. For these shots I used a 3 light setup of speedlight strobes, one on the ground in each shot and two on stands, the key with a silver reflective umbrella and fill a shoot through umbrella. All attached to PW flex tt5 units. Flash in each shot is manually popped with the mini tt1 in my hand and the cameras set to 1/2 a second exposure triggered using my fingers on each camera and the tt1 between my thumb and forefinger. I opted not to use a synced cable release between the two cameras this time so I could fit them closer together. The result is an image with less 3d pop that's more comfortable to view. To view in 3d you will need to cross your eyes and focus to see a third 3d image appear in between the two others.
