The 'David' shoot was made using the setup seen
on the left. It consisted of three separate shots made with my
old trusty Olympus D-340R digital camera (1280x960,
24 bit) which was kept stationary on a tripod. |
The props consisted of an old indoor water fountain, a statue
of Michelangelo's David I bought while touring
in Florence, Italy, some inexpensive plastic flowers, a green
sheet used as a backdrop, and a green flower pattern pillow cover
for the folding table. A small high-intensity light was moved
to three locations, left, middle-front, and right in order
to provide the needed special lighting effects for each shot.
"RGB Lights", a graphics program
created by MediaChance, was used to simplify the otherwise
complicated process of combining these images (see below).
|
| The composite image of 'David', on the right, was created
by taking the three digitally filtered images (green-left, blue-middle,
red-right), seen below, and combining them using RGB Lights. A final touch up was performed
(hue, saturation, etc.), and special effects objects added to
produce the final product. The total time from raw photos to
finished image was less than one hour . . . |
