Yes, I thought a lot about the perspective size of each - but this was the best I came up with and use the photos I took. Also, with the size of the space station relative to the shuttle, the astronaut would be about a mile away form the station and that would have never happened. I think the space shuttle was used to build the station, but I don't think it was ever used after the station was finished to transport astronauts. I thought a good story might have been with the shuttle doors open and the Hubble telescope on the boom, but that wasn't at the Smithsonian Museum. |

You mean if I weed spray all those, come up first, yellow blossoms in my grass, I'm starving all those wonderful fruit pollenating bees for the first part of their year??? Shame on me! Some times when I see a ball of seeds on a dandelion stalk, I pick it up, make the wish that I didn't have dandelions in my lawn and then blow them off with one big puff. My older sister told me, a long time ago, that if all the dandelion seeds are gone, I will get my wish. Older sisters don't lie. It's still a great 3D image. (>: |

As much as I hate dandelions, I have to say it's a great image with good depth and focus. |

Yes, I make the Depth Map using Photoshop. I tried to use the feature in SPM to paint a Depth Map, but it seemed to be a lot slower than using layers in PS. First I made a layer of the part I wanted to work on and moved it over to the right of the expanded image. Then I poured it with the whiteness I wanted to start with. Then I used the "Burn" and "Dodge" tools at a low opacity with many brush strokes to make the area (like the front wing) be blended from dark to light as I thought it should be. All the flowers were on the same whiteness layer and I dodged the upper pedals so they would come up. |

Very interesting piece of sculpture. It seems to have a bench in the middle. Was there, at one time, an awning over the metal structure so some one could set there an be shaded from the sun. Interesting how some art gets sold for $$$$ and other art is just our hobby. The image is very clear and the 3D is great -- well done! |

Here is the 3D image I got using this depth map with SPM. I had to fix, using photoshop, a few little odd things that SPM seems to do when applying the depth map feature. I had to increase the PPI from 72 to 288 to work good in photoshop and then down scale it back to 72 PPI to show here. I hope you don't mind my comments. |

There is some interesting and more authentic 3D in the flowers on the upper right. The dark flowers at the bottom of the flowers seem to be way back but probably aren't way back. The front wing of the butterfly is at the same level as the rest of the butterfly and because of its perspective, it should be coming almost perpendicular to the screen. The two small tails of the wings are not connected to the wings and are way back. The butterfly and flowers are well placed in front of the background. Thinking of what the "lens blur B/W" version of this might be, seems to relate to the depth you got using depth map of SPM. I took some time and made in photoshop a B/W layer of each of the main features of this image and then adjusted the whiteness to give "my guess" as to the depth needed. Here is the image and the depth map I used. |

The 3D image looked just fine but when I loaded it, full screen, with my 3D glasses viewer, the first thing I noticed was that a lot of the grass, the trees and sky on the left and parts of the truck seem to look like "paint by the numbers" with flat areas with no small detail. If that is what posterizing it does, posterizing works OK in 3D. I like high resolution 3D better. Interesting image of the old flower truck. |
