Wow!! One thousand ninety nine posts on "3D POP" !!
Only 20 pages more to go ... to catch up to the "What is 3D" thread (2009) with 47 pages.
Kinda interesting to me, that I spent an enormous amount of time in that intense discussion, studies, examples, debate, etc. ... and now, it doesn't consume me as a technical endeavor, the way it once did.
Almost like learning a parlor trick ... once, you know the trick, it only has merit on the next batch of folks that don't know it ... and your interests move on to something else.
That said, if the goal of the image is merely to generate a "lifelike" recording and showcase the skillset of photographer's ability to generate the trompe l'oeil effect of 3D-ish effects ... it's kinda like a cook showing how sharp he can make his knife, or how perfect she can slice the entree'. Its fun and interesting, but it's not very filling, nor all that meaningful compared to what is actually in the meal.
I spent a ton of time on it ... yup. Do so at your own risk, that it might detour / delay you from other endeavors / growth.
“I don't really think that the technique really determines the veracity of the image. It's what the image does to the viewer that determines whether it's right or wrong.” Roy Carava
The thing with such emphasis on 3D-ish is that it focuses the viewers attention on the technique. Nothing wrong with great technique, but if its mission is to bring attention to "look what I did" as a photographer, will it ever have the effect of "doing something" to the viewer. I enjoy the effect as much as another who appreciates technique. But, at some point, I think that the effect "runs out" of power or ability to do something to the viewer.
Again, I dig on it ... just like I dig on great bbq sauce. But, the sauce, ain't the meat.
