Overlapping experimentation

Well I've done a still life with a few objects to experiment with mixing the anaglyph idea with overlapping several images. The method I used was to take two photos from the front, the side, the rear and the other side. Make each set of two photos into a fully merged anaglyph and then overlap each anaglyph one by one, using the multiply colour blend function in Photoshop and then merging each picture down on to the other until all four anaglyph are incorporated.

I set out to produce a piece of art work that will function as a 2D piece and a 3D whilst wearing coloured specs. Here are the results of my work. I think critically this piece works better in 2D with Photoshop filters on than it does with the 3D specs on. I think the difficulty is that if you get the subject correct then the specs makes the outcome of the work very effective, but if you don't it all looks like a bit of a blur, the specs also make you go a little crossed eyes if you wear them for too long. I'm losing the ability to see straight.

Here are the results of my experimentation:-



This is with a dry brush filter



This is with a glass filter



I think maybe I've got the similar problem to before in that the scene is too busy, the most effective of my pieces so far is the chilli peppers picture. The only other relevant point is that I haven't de-saturated the pictures that I have done, I think I will try this with the photos I have already taken and see if there is any improvement to the overall look of the piece.
