3D Shooting Tips
- Keep main subject well centered. Lenticular printing crops in the sides.
- Place main subject 5-10 ft from camera.
- Always keep the camera horizontal
- All prints from this camera are in portrait mode (higher more than wider) so compose your picture accordingly.
- Try to avoid having any object closer than 3 ft from the camera especially at the sides.
- More depth planes in the picture looks better than less. For instance: “foreground flowers-person-background bush-far trees-hillside” looks better than “person-hillside”.
- “Trailing” depth is often effective in 3D pictures. Trailing depth objects include fences, railroad tracks, walls etc. that go from the viewer into the horizon.
- Semi-transparent objects such as smoke, steam, fire or veils look good in 3D.
- Depth multipliers like mirrors and puddles can often be used effectively.
- Use action to enhance a 3D picture. A classic at this time of year is a girl throwing leaves in the air. (See our sample.)
- “Busy” scenes look good in 3D. Lots of clutter on a table or twisted branches in brambles are examples of this.
- In general, just compose scenes with depth or the “Z” axis in mind when using a 3D camera.
