Stereoscopic pics

messing around with the digital camera tonight, decided to do some old fashioned 3D photos. stereo pics are nothing new, over a century old actually. any way for those new to it, view the pic by crossing your eyes until a pic comes into focus in the center of the outer 2 with a 3D effect. a distance of about 24~30" from the monitor is about where these are best.

Enjoy!

How far apart do you take the pics, eye width?

 

yeah, it's about 2.5~3" perspective. the camera needs a stable mount or surface to work off, otherwise the pics won't line up to well and make it harder for your brain to re-focus. takes some perfecting, I think i went through about 100 pics to get these.

 

The engine looks amazing like that

 

Now that's COOL !!!

Thank you !!

here's some more artsy ones...
I think this would be neat to do for a car show, thinking of getting a stereo camera or setting up twins to shutter at the same instant, then you could capture movement!

Pick up Tools latest album 10,000 days. It has some the coolest, well done stereoscopic photos I have ever seen. Also the music is not half bad either.
