3d Layering to 4d Video Experience

Posted on by martinbelgica
The big question in mind is how do we enjoy 4D rendered footage. Theoretically 4th Dimensional Videos are videos that is shot either in two angles or 2 types of exposure and is merged into one to be watched or percieved. 4d footage is not enjoyable layers of footage or imagery can create confusion towards the perceiver or watcher.  Here is an example of a 4d footage. This type of footage works for video presentations and marketing reels and stock footages. https://youtu.be/h416CvNgvp8 It is very confusing to watch. Inverted media with low saturation layered upon tweaked white balance and tint creates good imagery but is very confusing. The problem I want to solve is How do we fix the problem...Read More

3 Point Lighting Recap as an Idea

Posted on by martinbelgica
BANGING OF LIGHTLight touches another is like a union of sensations. A subject when touched by two light sources is like a good old delicious sandwich. 1 point or 1 source of light is not enough to make a good photo. 2 light sources creates a mergence of two light sources creating an extra dimensional feel. Let me illustrate this. In the day we have 1 light source that is the sun and in the night we have the moon. 2 point lighting and 3 point lighting creates the sensation of having an extra dimension impossible to our native or primal senses. Here is an example of 1 point lighting photo. KEY LIGHT See the light that touches the subject...Read More

Just Images of Chivas Playing with China Lux Meters

Posted on by martinbelgica
I bought a light meter from Lazada store made from China. I wanted to test it out and so I decided to take photos of leftover holiday liqour. The Whiskey 12 Chivas. Me playing with the Light Meter. My goal is to just go past 1200 for 1200 lux reading is based on light emitted by fire. Go more than fire was my goal. Here are the images of the Chivas. Goal was to light the Alchohol inside the bottle and provide enough key to expose the brand. Nothing much just another boring day. Something processed and edited.

Using Xpens Can I draw?

Posted on by martinbelgica
I am not good at drawing things, I can draw but it is purely scattered and abstract. The good thing about drawing is that I can make manifest my ideas on paper, thanks to Xpens I can now do it digitally. Onion is an abstract drawing I have done resembling ground and a supposed to be onion on it. WHAT IS THE XPEN FOR ? As of now I am using it to texture but trying to texture is hard for me. Using an image of a river I tried to duplicate it but sadly I failed drawing a river looking image. It sucks. My texturing methods is so bad that I just decided to quit it. DRAWING AN EYE...Read More

7 Churches Visit 2024

Posted on by martinbelgica
Annually we visit 7 churches to pray or relive the way of the cross, the sacrifice of Jesus christ. We always go to the same 7 churches same as last year disregarding Marist School Chapel, I planned to take photos in a more personal way but sadly that idea was halted by church politics, were the heavens and the earth accused the men of light or the devotees of God as heretic irrelevant members of society, in fear of the devil this is the case. So for me, how can I post about the church in a possessed society of devils and idiotic phantasmic propagandist against the church, the people and coercive scenarios contrary to the fulfillment of the will...Read More

Light and Imagery Inversions

Posted on by martinbelgica
My last shoot using the studio. Starting march 2024 I will focus on my Yoga practice and do less photography for the website. Thinking of a topic to discuss concerning imaging is the magic inversion. It came to my mind when I was contemplating lens distortions, what can I do with lens distortions to create imagery. Here are my attempts as a general idea. Using a magnifying glass and lenses I managed to create a fractal image. Another Idea is using the same concept but moving the subject. here is an image sample. Playing with the magnifying glass I noticed the convergence phenomenon and saw my Shiva painting inverted looking into the lens. I decided to do a shoot using...Read More

Contemplating the Mindstate of Lovecraft led to Lens layering

Posted on by martinbelgica
One afternoon during the humid weather in Asia, a magus contemplated the horrors of HP lovecraft. Cthulu whispers "I await my coming and so I sleep and dream." Looking forward in the dimensions of perceptions of giant men and flying dragons the barrier of the raining veil the magus sees through the lens in time. What can the magus see through the lens in layers of magnification and filtration of light "Is there cthulu? can I see Cthulu sleeping?" the Magus asks himself. The answer to this is left unknown... Oh what horrors are beyond the magnified lens, the distortions of the notion of cthulu and the writings and ramblings of HP Lovecraft.

Posted on by martinbelgica
Using Reflectors and 50w Bulbs. Reflectors How nice are reflectors? It is very nice. softens everything that hits the subject. I got a gold luminous reflector and I want it to be shown on a photo. and so I bring a photo exhibiting such things. Left is a photo not lit with reflectors and right is a photo lit with a reflector.   Here are images of a Vello action pan lit by the same light source Left is lit without and right is lit with Reflector. Self portraits using the same light setup. THE GUZGUZIN SHOOT

Photos and Imaging Inspired by thinking Moldova

Posted on by martinbelgica
Looking at my analytics it is a surprise I see Moldova on my top 5. How can my Imaging reach Moldova? I decided to think Moldova and let's see what I can produce. 1st idea is about the color yellow the sun hits Moldova differently and so 2 pillars and a couple of round stones with 2 pillars became an idea. 2nd Idea is the window trying to reach the view of Moldova, thinking and longing is the 2nd Idea, the window. 3rd Idea is the mountain side of Moldova trying to mimic the countryside without much referencing using blender I ended up with such.
