PROJECT: 3D For Everyone – Judges and Extension

Have you been having fun taking and looking at 3D photos? I’m thrilled with the submissions that I have received for the 3D For Everyone project so far! And there’s been quite a bit of 3D attention directed at the blog in the last day.

DPS post

Last night (midnight my time), Darren of Digital Photography School posted my newest post there, which features some of the best 3D photography from around the net. He titled it 9 Crazy Cross Eye 3D Photography Images and How to Make Them, far more interesting than my original title “3D is Back!” :) Since then I’ve had a huge influx of traffic to the blog, mostly from people new to 3D reading the instructions for how to see 3D images. I’m sure some of the popularity of the post is due to a 3D photo of a rather fetching young woman in her undergarments – the source of some unfounded controversy in the comments in the post.

The post has been picked up on some of the social network sites, so I was hoping you all might be able to do me a favour, and help it along a little, by helping to spread the word. If you are registered at Digg, would you please digg the post. If you use StumbleUpon, could you stumble it. If you have any other favourite social networks, I would greatly appreciate it if you could help spread the word through them as well!

Date Extension

I’m sure that there’s going to be a few more entries to the project from these new visitors, and I look forward to seeing them. The due date is very close however, so to give these new folks a bit more of a chance to get their photos to participate, I’m extending the due date for the project by two days to May 26th. Check here for the time in your local time zone.

Announcing the Judges

It is with great pleasure that I can announce the three judges who will be responsible for evaluating your work and choosing the winner, who will get the Loreo 3D Lens-in-a-Cap from our generous sponsors, Loreo. Cody has blogged about his participation in the project at his blog. David has blogged about my 3D photography before. Naomi is well known to the readers of this blog, and has some skills that will being a unique perspective to the judging. You can read more about them below:

Cody Redmon is a native and current resident of Montana who fell in love with landscapes at an early age. Growing up in a rural area gave him the access to explore his interest and grow his techniques, while visiting some of the most beautiful areas of the United States’ northwest and southwest regions. As a photographer, his goal is to capture the beauty of a scene and present it in a manner which conveys emotion. He has a deep respect for the wilds and is pleased to present to you scenes and vistas from the back reaches of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. He maintains a personal blog of current works at Cody Redmon – Photoblog, and has additional signed and numbered, limited edition prints on his personal website, CodyRedmon.com.

David Ziser is a professional photographer from the metro Cincinnati area. He concentrates mostly on weddings and family portraits. To relax, he enjoys landscape and fine art photography as well, and puts quite a bit on energy into both when he has a bit of spare time on his hands.

Naomi Creek has been a keen artist since childhood, always eager to try her hand at anything that could express her creativity. Working as a graphic designer for the last 20 years, she has had the pleasure of sourcing beautiful imagery for use in brochures and advertising material. She loves nature and animals and it is with this passion that brought her to meet her husband, Neil Creek whilst he was observing the starry skies through his telescope. Naomi is enjoying sharing in Neil’s photographic journey and spends many hours with him appreciating the wonder of nature, future technology and the possibilities that lie around the corner. Her hobbies include anything artistic, like jewellery making, cooking or painting.

Dont forget that every entry gets a free Pixi 3D viewer, and the winner gets a Loreo 3D lens for their DSLR!

Every person who submits an entry in this project will receive a FREE Pixi 3D viewer* and the overall winner, as decided by the judges will win a Loreo 3D lens-in-a-cap for their digital SLR camera** valued at approximately $100USD (pictured right). Free shipping is provided for the viewers and 3D lens. These prizes are provided thanks to the generosity of Loreo.
