are usedby Nishika Severalguidelines to determinethe key subjectof a technicians 3-D photo. lf thereis onlyone personin the picture,that personwill be chosenas the key subject. lf thereare two peopleat differentdistancesfromthe camera,the key subjectwillbe the closerperson.In photos wherethereare morethantwo peopleat differentdistancesfromthe camera,the key subjectwill be the personmostcentrallylocatedin the midrangeof the composition.
I General3-DGuidelines Incorrect 2, Include foreground objects that visually overlap more distant objects in the composition. The mostdramatic3-D effectis achievedwhen objectsin the foreground crossover or partiallycover more distantobjects. Use your Nishika3-D camera in a horizontalposition only. ln the verticalposition,no 3-D effectwill be achieved, 1. 17 www.orphancameras.
For the most dramatic 3'D effect, keep your foreground obiects as close to 6 feet from the camera as Possible. at 6 feetwill yieldmore Foregrounds dramatic3-D effectsthanthe samecompositionwiththe foregroundat 7 feetor more. 3. Avoid having obiects nearerthan 5112 feet from the camera. The N8000camerahas a focal rangeof 5 112feetto infinitY. 5. For the best 3-D effect, keeP Your main subiect between 15 and 22 teet from the camera,with 17 to 20 feet being optimal.
6. Be sure that all objects in your 3-D pictures are well lit, and whenever convenient include a variety of bright colors in your composition. Thiswill enhancethe 3-D effect,as well as bringaddedlifeto your pictures. Avoid posing subjects against a flat backgroundsuch as a wall.
