Have you ever shot and processed for lenticular prints?

I've done some 6 and 10 viewpoint lenticulars with a semicircular track rig. The end results can be quite stunning.

The biggest problem is that in the first phase the solution is cloudy, just when the first crystals appear. That's when the fastest growth occurs.

Hmm... Electrodes and a bit of a charge to clear the solution just when you see that initial growth?

Or is that a silly thought?

If the crystallization process for the desired subject is triggered in a clear solution stabilized in terms of concentration and temperature conditions, the process evolves much more slowly and can take several days for a specimen with some decent size.

Can give a try. 😀

It never hurts to try.

Yes, I have been collected images for lenticular prints with themes inside caves. I used a linear slider and collected 20 images (viewpoints) for each subject.

For large prints (up to 50x75cm) I used all 20 viewpoints (for a more fluid effect), for postcards, pocket calendars or others, I used 16 viewpoints for each subject. They were very much appreciated by the customers. 🙂

I have almost everything ready for the time-lapse, I still need a container with quality glass walls and a technical solution to get a variable temperature in the darkroom. I want to reduce a process of a few days to a few hours, even if the result will not be identical.
