Kool Wallpaper Trick &... Happy New Year !

koolbluez · 01-01-2008, 07:57 PM

Was flickring when I got to a page with an innovative idea!

The transparent desktop !!!

An optical illusion created by photographing what's behind your screen and using it as a wallpaper.

This can be extended to any display mechanism.

Tips :
- You have 2 eyes but your camera has only one. Try closing one eye to better align the image.
- Color management is tricky. Having lots of light and dimming the display helps, but keep the glare out of your screen, NO FLASHES!
- Aligning the bottom of the screen parallel to the bottom of your photo on your viewfinder makes everything easier for the cropping phase.

Kool.. ain't it?

See it to believe it

Get a gud cam nd first shoot the area picture without lappy, then carefully place the lappy there nd crop the picture in lappy screen in fulscreen mode. Save when u think its best or perfect like ones above.
Not sure bout that iphone one.
