My 3D pictures - (56k users beware!)

[Joe Redifer]

I took them mostly with an old crappy Epson digital camera.  Each 3D picture requires two pictures to be taken, one for each eyeball.  I recently got a newer Canon camera... not as nice as yours, but still much better than the Epson and able to do RAW photos.  One night as it snowed I took the following picture of my back yard by setting the camera on my windowsill while I was still inside, and then I just slid it to the right to take the same picture for that eyeball.  I left the shutter open for about 6 seconds or so to get it this bright since it was at 3:00 am.

Thanks for the info!  Man, that photo looks great in 3D!

I just took a quick photo and made it 3D in Photoshop...Have a look.  Turned out not as 3Dish as yours Joe, but not too bad.

EDIT: Just updated the photo with a new better version...

[Joe Redifer]

That's not a bad start!  It might have a better effect if the convergence point was a bit more towards the bottom of the screen in this one. For macro 3D photography, I'd take the left eye picture fist (as usual) and then move the camera to the right a few nanometers (heh) but not quite the difference between two human eyes.  Then I'd turn the angle of the right eye shot a tad towards the left, but not too much.  Then take the pic, do the Photoshop thing, merge and crop!

Thanks for the tips - I was thinking that it was too much of a difference in the two images.  I've updated the image above with one I just took.

Damn you two!  My quest to find a pair of 3d glasses has begun.  I must see this pics in all their glory, as the gods intended.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah that's definitely better.  The only problem with doing super-colorful boxes like that is many colors will be canceled at least slightly out buy one eye or the other... for example the box on the left (not sure what game that is) looks odd through the left eye but fine through the right.  Experimentation is the key!  Whites always work well since white contains every color.  That's why I chose SMS boxes.  HuCards might work well...

for example the box on the left (not sure what game that is)

Magical MM Chase, goddammmmmmmit. Aaron, I'll buy that box from you.

Were those two MM's intentional this time, Steve?

Alright I made a few more tonight just for fun:








Might have to squint on this one due to the ghosting:

Great pics, Joe! Especially the first one. Funny in the first pic that no matter how hard I tried removing the HuCard from the TG16, it just wouldn't come out!

The Batman HuCard in the third pic makes me see two of them for some reason. The Sidearms card does too for a few seconds until I focus onto it, but the Batman card just won't focus.

[Joe Redifer]

Sit back a bit and squint.

I knew you'd appreciate that.

Looking at them without them gives me a splitting headach..........

Indeed!

Somebody feel free to mail me some 3D glasses. PM me for my home address. Thank you.
