Pure photographic special effects without a computer or Dark Room?

The discovery of this technique is the result of an accident. Possibility of projection of a slide, without the window in the city led to a portrait appears in part on some substance, and partly in the background. The curved dust distorts the image and when the photo is clearly concentrated texture and consistency of training material for any type of display was part of the portrait. This result was exciting enough to leave the projection, as it was, and to studycharacteristics of this phenomenon.

If this effect can be photographed, so you can image projected images of different textures, or other objects. It seems that the basic approach to gain control over all images. Provide a new way to make and manage all aspects of photography. It 'clear that if a man can see, the photo of one that is!

Projector, but offers many more possibilities that the darkroom to create images larger.Take a picture of a movie, is just as easy to project negatives or slides in color or black and white, what ever is necessary. Considered as a potential planning image; tissues (not always in the plan), texture, or to other objects, and then try bouncing the image projected by a reflective surface and focuses on a screen or see what happens when a crystal was placed near the projector lens (behind the goal, as before). Color filterscan be used, or parts of image can be masked (once again, the results obtained in relation to that on the back, the lens of the projector).

With more than one projector can mix and top with a perfect control of an image. By projecting these images, one above the other and then the mask of the parties overlap of each image, which is no longer necessary, a completely new image can be formed.

These are the basic principles of the infinite seriesused to shape and focus on, anyone who has ever been photographed. Indeed, it is the projector that shows all the magic, this is the diversity that can be achieved. The old type of assembly is often a more modern automatic that nature since it is probably easier to get access to the space behind the lens. That the plant is of great advantage of this technique – so you should look for cheap used them!

Textures
Theeasiest way to start is to experiment with the projected image, try to build a favorite portrait on a variety of surface textures to be used as a screen. A wide range of textures you can use, not always need to be white, and not always be flat.

There is probably a disturbing element, because it is possible that the camera lens with a clear agreement with the projector, but do not worry yet, the confusion can be helpful ifdescribed below.

Using a model in his portrait work is very interesting, some of the beauty and character found in the portraits of the missing pictures. But the realism of the image becomes more abstract simply by adding a texture and this can give more expression of a character that was clear before. This does not mean one is copying the paintings as a completely different picture was created by those who once painted, but that this abstract quality which, if enrichedPortraits can also be applied to photos.

Collapse
The only way to avoid interruptions in the project directly on the election of the screen and the image rephotograph with a camera plate. Then we can correct the angle of the eye movements of the lens used in architecture or perspective correction.

But most often, the confusion can be a very interesting effect when used with caution. Could also prove extremely dramatic. Any image can be easily stretched and strained,or mast and extended. Everything depends on the angle of the projector, or camera, on screen.

Reflections
So far has shown how the image can be influenced by the addition of a texture, the effect of the disorder, use of color filtering and the use of negative film or black and white.

Another interesting way to edit a photo program to consider. This principle is fundamental to rephotograph a projected image, as seen in amirror, or bouncing from a mirror. But instead of using a mirror, there are many other possibilities. Try a piece of acetate film, since this material can be in a bending or torsion, and thus distort the image seen through the formation of a flexible mirror.

There are two very different effects as possible, even with the flexible mirror in a fixed position, and the same projected image. The first method is to project an image on the screen and the reflections that appear in the image. The second project is to imageflexibility in the mirror, then passes on the screen, this new image, which will then be photographed.

There are many reflective surfaces that can be used. You need not be always smooth, polished silver cigarette old man with a complete machine as a model through the design has been used to advantage.

All images, including the techniques already described can be the models a bit 'like a kaleidoscope through the use of mirrors. Tomirrors perpendicular to each other, with the image projected on a screen to choose in such a way that they consider to reiterate that the mirrors will form a model that can be photographed. Opportunities in scope and size is not a problem when the projection of images, the largest building in the world could easily between a pair of small mirrors on a small object that can wait!

Crystal Patterns
Superb models can be identified through the creation of crystals orprisms. In addition to special types of effects are available for use on camera, remember that the projector can be used, it is also interesting to use the old design to form crystals of a chandelier.

Experiment with different crystals were placed in front of the projector lens does not always square and see how the dissemination of images depending on the crops. The best results are often relatively small image with a transparency within the structure.

A model will be very differentformed by the movement of glass behind the goal. It 'clear that when these crystals are optically perfect, the projected image will lose a part of the definition, may still be useful as a background image.

Color, black and white or exclusion Images
The photograph has the advantage of playing one of the images in a variety of ways. Just select the movie, the color image into black and white, or one of two options can also be in negative form. All this can beplanned!

Negatives can be extraordinarily beautiful in itself, and should not, as a means of acquiring a pressure can be considered. The choice of the projected images must not be limited to overhead, but excludes the film in all its forms. Black and white photographs of positive or negative can be projected and used. The colors can then easily even after the images projected in black and white are added by selecting the screen, and with the introduction of color filters.

Filters
ManyFilters are available for the camera and the projector can be used. But some pieces of colored cellophane can also use the projector used. There are hundreds of color readily available, which is used only for these small pieces.

Although there are options for use with the camera, when used between the condenser lens and the film projector, which can affect the color of the projected image without problems of optics. With wisdom, youthe colors of the specific components of the projected image.

Making Red Screen
It is not difficult to switch to other items that can not serve more than just a screen. These are elements that constitute an important part of the theme in the new image as important as the projected image.

For example, an original portrait projected on a shell, including shells, and the contours of the shell effects of the projected image. Mask careful with a widespreadmask behind the lens, allowed the light to other parts of the scene also illuminate.

There are a number of other objects used in this way, a butterfly with a scene of the river, an orchid, a ball of wool and a Siamese cat, a coin, or sick leaves of holly.

Even a highly reflective surface, such as coins can be used. The camera was directly in front of the currency higher, so that the projected image of the projector is on the left of the camera. This means that the camera lensprevent reflections of light. Even the edges of the pages of a book has been used.

It might be interesting for the projector for a loop! Using an extension cable, and only a selection of slides to project everything in sight. Focusing on a wide range of topics, you'll see what happens – is expected amazed some of the opportunities that will surely come to light!

Mask
Mask is best achieved through the use of black paper, which is strong enough tois still easy to cut into any shape needed. It works well in front of or behind the projector lens. If the mask in front of the lens that will soon become clear that the closer to the screen, the mask is placed, the stronger the shadow. The ideal is to always use a gradient mask so the shadow will not be very far in front of the lens.

If you can work behind the lens, the more the film, the sharper the edges are shadows. It's so easydifferent images perfect to work with more of a mixture projector.

There have been times when instead of a mask with black cards from a clear plastic mat is preferable to avoid the black shadow, especially if the projections of others will not add much in this particular area. Parchment is effective for this purpose are usually placed behind the lens to close the film.

Before considering a second projector, with one, now there is aincredible amount of opportunities that can compete with the projected image can be achieved. But with two additional projectors and special effects are pretty intense.

Double Exposure – Projector Style!
The first option is to mount the projector with two pieces of film, placed on the same mountain, and the combined project images on a screen. Focusing on one of the statues, the one that dominates the true center and soften the other. Much depends on the carrier slide is used, but ifis scope to place more than two carriers, more space between the two films, the greater the power of an image over the other. If both images must be in focus when the more they are together, the better.

When the film sandwich in this way you can enter one or the other on the head, at his side, or vice versa. But there is little opportunity to use this technique to control the final result, so this is just a little 'slightly better than the double exposure, as at least you can see that the result appears as the first.

Two projectors
This method involves the use of two projectors, but a man will be an exciting way for combining two images previously created with a control much more!

The technique is simple; net project both images separately in the same selection screen. But these images are now placed on any way we want to create an image much larger than the others, or maskparts of each image, according to a combination of the two images can be created. It is a part of an image can be mixed together, and for as long as you can see exactly what the photographer must be.

Ideally, two identical projectors used if you can zoom lenses. If it is not possible or differences in performance of the second lamp may prove to be allowed, hiding the brightness of the two, just in front of the goal to reach the same brightnessBoth projectors.

To improve the quality of results that can be achieved with this technique, there is an advantage to get a screen designed for rear projection.

Image Blending
When the full potential of the use of two projectors realized, would be needed for many different types of images, is what is referred to as the shots of skiing in the world of advertising. A new stock photos will be taken, with the potential confusion in the tanks notRegardless of how many images are available from the past.

Now, any picture can be easily changed, the brightness of an image against the other, can be controlled. Shadow mask and only parts of each image can be mixed. The colors in some areas can be modified with filters. The position of each image relative to each other can be adjusted. Or the size of an image than the other, can be changed easily. One of the images can be distorted expression, or bein a modification of a model with a crystal. The possibilities are overwhelming!

Best of all, the combined images is considered all the time until the desired result is formed. There is no reason to rely on conjecture, like many other special effects seem to require that these methods, so that no movie ever really should not be wasted.

With two projectors, it becomes possible to mix film effects together in a way not possible before. It's so easy to mix with the negative imagestransparent in color or black and white. Instead of transparencies in both projectors can be one of them projecting a black and white negative of a color negative just as easily.

Plate 3
"Spirit of the Year" is a popular and award-winning studio that has received much acclaim for the author. The transparency of a painting was higher than expected, the projected image according to color negative of a red tulip. A variation of this concept is flat 59 (portfolio poetic), where a different profile of Susanwas mixed with another color negative from the center of a tulip. (See this and other photos of "author poetic portfolio" link below).

Multiple projectors
There is no reason why more than two images should not be expected all at the same time gives headlamps are available.

There are a number of occasions where four projectors were in use together. However, three were the most commonly used, with the fourth hour and then, projectingthe author's signature on the scene.

Backprojection
There are a couple of valuable benefits of a rear projection screen, especially when the possession of more than one projector. The first benefit that arises after the obvious to avoid confusion with at least one of the images, you can add a light background when photographing the expected images on other objects.

From rear projection screen is used only to providea background scene, often should be in a softer focus, a display animal is not necessary. While the paper tracing will do!

Inspired Accidents
I hope that readers can get to this point will agree that the options outlined, offering photographers working in color rather than simply record reality. Trust readers also agree that this type of photography is really justified the recognition of the art world, because it has certain characteristics that are very different from hisother means of communication.

E 'available with the hope that the photography is not just odd or create gimmickry, but to produce works of genuine artistic value.

Time spent most satisfying is no doubt in the creation of the work. Often, whatever the medium used, as a true artist, the result is not always accurate, as in origin.

Often the writer has decided on a theme or an idea can only be a model orcomposition that exists in the mind in the abstract, yet unexpressed. Perhaps the last picture taken awakens the desire to do more with it. While considering the projection of images and some, to interfere with a portrait, something can suddenly be seen that sparks the imagination.

Other times an 'idea into action and a clear idea in mind. But while trying to create the image that is not so unusual that a vague beyond a certain amount of randominspiration. It may not have any possibility of confusion between the two images in a way never imagined before, it seems too good to ignore! The best thing to do then be ready to change direction, and a continuation of the new study, rather than the original project. The first attempt to create can always try to be at a later date.

The excitement and joy you feel when modeled in this way is difficult to describe. So even if you start with only a vague concept, it is worth spending a bit 'of timeexperiment. Think about how the phase in which the artist is to select and mix the color on the palette, not sure what he would paint, but just starting to hear. While considering various options, the reports surprising development, which could form the basis for the final image. And 'only really beginning to make a really exciting thing to happen to it.
