Download a freeware product such as Photoscape.If you have Microsoft Office then you can use "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" (it comes with all versions starting with 2003, Office XP and Office 97 had "Microsoft Photo editor").Step 2 - Upload the Picture to a Computer and Editing the Photosįor this step you will need photo editing software. Don't worry about the extra dark area or centering the image, as you will crop the photo later to center the image. It allows you to get more of the image into the shot. Play with the camera angle to the scope.Try different angles of the light source to the scope. It is a key to getting sharp, vivid images in your shots. Camera lens hitting kaleidoscope lens is bad! Turn the camera on before setting up the shot (many camera automatic extend their lens when turned on.Add the light source (best if it too is mounted in a movable stand). Use the height adjust on the tripod to adjust the height and move the scope back and worth and angle left/right to adjust closeness and angle between camera and scope. Secure the scope on the table or stand so that it is close to the camera. With the tripod on the floor, setup up the camera/tripod so the camera is at the height of a table or stand. One common way to do this is the use a tripod. You will need to align the camera, the scope and the light source. Placing a dark cloth over this area will prevent this. This is best controlled by altering the angles to the light source.Īnother issue is light from the light source getting in between the camera lens and the scope. It is a fine balance between too much light and too little. When shooting pictures thought a scope it is important to try many different angles to the light source. The scope is so short that the camera lens will not focus.The best answer to this is to use dry cell scopes The images also move while the picture is being taken causing the photo to blur. Liquid-filled object cells - The image doesn't stop in the pattern you want long enough to allow you to photograph it.A better way may be to use a scope with a larger viewing hole. One way around this is to use a camera with a small diameter lens like a cell phone camera. Small viewing hole - This makes it hard to get a good shot inside the scope with a normal digital camera.
Three major issues exist with some scopes: Taking pictures is a balance of 4 things the scope, the camera, the light source and the shot setup. Here are some generalities to get you started however the best way to get good photos of kaleidoscopic images is try different methods and settings till you achieve success. No one method works for either of these 2 steps since everyone has different cameras, computers, computer operating systems and software. Uploading the Picture to a Computer and Editing the Photos.Taking pictures of images produced by scopes requires 2 steps: Here are the secrets to doing these things: Taking Photos of the Images inside your Kaleidoscopes You can also turn existing digital photos into a kaleidoscopic pattern picture. It is also possible to take pictures of everyday objects like your flower garden or even your kaleidoscope collection as if they were inside a kaleidoscope. Lastly, we've got our global opacity, which dictates how much of the effect is visible versus how much is not.While it is easy to take pictures of the outside of kaleidoscopes, how do you take quality pictures of the beautiful images inside? Number of divisions is how many times this tile will we split up.Īnd the zoom is how close or how far we'll get away from our effect. Next we've got our angle, which depending on where we set this is where exactly it drives the kaleidoscope tile to go. Some of our math nodes, et cetera, really cool, powerful property. This particular image, you can't see it as much, but you can also drive this via animation. Offset X and Y will move the tile point on the original image. As you can see, immediately start to get some really intricate, super intense tiling going on. This is probably in my second favorite category for effects inside of Fable.Ĭouple of sliders here. Now immediately, we start to see some really cool things happening. Select your layer and go up top to the top right to the effects panel. Here we have our usual canvas set up with a single JPEG image. In this one, we're going to talk about the Kaleidoscope effect. Hello Fablers, and welcome back to another Academy tutorial.
