Beacon Rock 3D

[pablo]

Been experimenting with the cross-eyed 3D thing. Did Beacon/Hamilton yesterday and tried to capture some 3D looks on Beacon. My SO refuses to look at these cross-eyed as she is concerned her eyes may get stuck in that position - I don't think it is possible for this to happen but think of the comic relief you'd provide family and co-workers if it were so. The trick for viewing is to go cross-eyed 'til the 'center' picture comes in to a 3D view. I use my hands as blinders to block out the extra images so only the 3D version is seen. Watch out for eye strain.

I used the cha-cha method, take one photo then shift weight for the next. I used PS to combine images.

Watch for falling rock.

Looking up. On this one I have to tilt my head to the right - camera must be held level on both shots.

Hey Brian,

Sorry about that, what works for me is a couple of Motrin along with one or more shots of Jack Daniels.

I think the 'Failling rock' one works, not sure about the others, in general I'm not convinced this effect is particularly useful. I'm going to try a red/blue glasses version.

Always wanted to try this, just haven't had a chance to. Hope you don't mind Pablo!

It worked out best with this one, I think the shift on the others was a bit too much. Remember you only need to shift the camera a couple inches (distance between eyes)

Hey Lurch, that's neat - I thought about using that method and it is certainly easier on the eyes. Like you mention, looks like my spacing between shots is to large. I will investigate...
