It always amazes me when I look back through my photograph software how quickly my children have grown up. This is reinforced by a Facebook-linked app I have which every day gives me a glimpse of my life one, three, even six years ago.
It makes me a bit sad that pretty much all of the photographs I have taken in the last decade have been digital and therefore largely hide in the depths of my computer or are immortalised in the pages of this blog.
I always mean to have prints done, but even when I do I end up shoving them in a drawer for the time I buy a frame. And of course when I'm in a shop selling frames I can never remember what size or shape my favourite prints are!
Knowing this about myself I was very excited to learn about CEWE 3D.

Knowing this about myself I was very excited to learn about CEWE 3D.
What now?
Let me explain. CEWE 3D uses specialist lenticular technology adapted from the fine art world to create a 3D photo or image on a panel, meaning you can turn your favourite 2D wedding photo, holiday snap or precious memory into a stunning piece of art work for your home.
Giving a subtle multi-dimensional effect, CEWE 3D is perfect for creating stand out images and showcasing personal memories in a truly unique manner. With the sophisticated lenticular technology, you don't need special 3D glasses to see the image in all its 3D glory.
Given the opportunity to order one of these amazing pictures I followed the detailed online instructions carefully to ensure I made the most of the 3D effect. The step-by-step instructions are simple and as a back up experts will check over the image you upload and let you know if it is suitable or not.
The image you choose needs to be sharp, with detail in the background and foreground. I chose a picture my daughter took of me with DS#4 in what I think is a really touching mother/son moment. I was delighted when I had the email saying the image was suitable to turn into a 40x40 CEWE 3D picture.
The picture came, really well packaged and when I opened it up everyone in the room said:"Wow!"
It made a lovely picture into a spectacular piece of art! Unfortunately my photographs of it do not in any way do it justice. You'll just have to take my word for it.
I found myself tilting it to take in the amazing 3D effect from all angles. The only way to describe it is that the picture really pops! It's a spectacular memento and although I intended to give it to my mum as a present I'm not sure I can bear to be parted from it.
Available in five sizes, 40 x 40cm, 40 x 60cm, 60 x 40cm, 60 x 60cm and 75 x 60cm, the CEWE 3D panel is printed using specially adapted high resolution printing technology to produce stunningly sharp 3D images and is available to buy online at photo.jessops.com/cewe3d.
