It’s been several months since I’ve published any new tintype animations here at Griffonage-Dot-Com, but I’ve continued to create them from time to time, and I think I’ve finally accumulated enough to warrant another blog post. I don’t have any novel technical breakthroughs to share this time around—all the methods I used have already been…
Back in May, I blogged here about some experiments I’d carried out using animated GIFs to create illusions of perspective and motion from simultaneously-taken pairs of tintype portraits. Two of the pairs of “twin” tintypes I shared then had been taken from lenses mounted side by side, and these yielded convincing stereoscopic effects—they were basically…
If you spend much time around old photographs, you’ve probably run into sets of “twin” tintypes that look identical at first glance. Unlike photographic prints made from negatives, however, every tintype is technically unique. “Twin” tintypes are thus never exact duplicates of one another; instead, they were taken simultaneously from slightly different perspectives with a…
