Camera and Lens

I used Canon SL1 Camera and Tamron f2.8 17-50mm lens.

Process

Process to take pictures included finding objects of interest, creating backgrounds, setting up lightings, and securing places to back while I lie down to take pictures. I chose my living room as my location to take photographs. I think the hardest part was trying to get the object of interest in the size and in the same general area.


FINAL PROJECT: Focus on Miniatures

By Seunghwan Choi(cs194-26-acf)

Overview and Explanation

This project involves taking a picture, choose the focus line and size of the fake depth of field, and apply a increasing blur filter blow and above, based on how far away the focus line is. .


Process

First, I took pictures in the campus. Then I chose a focus point using python's ginput, defined the size of depth of field and the block size. Block size determines the size of the blurred chunk. Then For each block chunk, I gaussian filtered the chunk, depending on how far away the chunk is from the focus point. Then I stacked them all in correct order.
