Some 3-D cross-eye sterogram macros

Lord Vetinari

For those that can view them, some cross-eye steregrams. If these work you may want to try the larger ones in my gallery here.

You've told me numerous times how to do it but it just doesn't work for me.
Awwwwwww cwap I say ! I love your work..... Skippy (Australia)

I love the 3-D shots!!!! Fantastic!













Now my eyes hurt. :oogle

Nice...
I especially like the effect of the flower and fly. Well done!

Nice but what do you mean by 3d

You can view these as stereo images.
Slightly defocus your eyes whilst staring at a pair of pics- cross your eyes as if you were looking at something very close and a third image should form in between the original two, relax your eyes to stabilise the third image which will be in 3-D stereo.

Thanks shatch- these 3D shots are great if you can view them.

Sorry about that Skippy- have you ever actually seen a third image form when you cross your eyes (between the two originals)?

I'm with Skippy on this, no matter how much or hard I try I still can't see the 3D. But I'm also one of those people who can't see the images hidden in those poster things, if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

Wishing I could experience 3D,

Skippy,

Try holding your index finger about 8-10 inches in front of your face and fixate on the tip of your finger, while your finger is at the same height as the two images on the screen. Bigger images tend to be easier than small ones also.
You will then see a third image, between the two on the screen, and gradually relax your focus, while keeping the image in view, and it will pop into three dimensions. See if this doesn't help you see the effect.

Very nice work, Brian.

fantastic brian


i've gotten so good at looking at these 3D images i can cross my eyes and they automaticly focus



BTW: the spider one w/ the water on the ground is my fav. the water droplets by him are so cool 3D!

whats your secret? how do you take these? just move the camera to the left a little for the 2nd shot?

Thanks Pathfinder- and for another method of viewing them.

Thanks DanielB,
No amazing secret- just do exactly as you suggest ie move the camera and take another pic- need to move it about 1/30th of the subject distance, so for these closeup macros that's not very much. I then use stereophotomaker (just google for it- freeware) to align the pictures properly- It's very important the objects in the pic are horizontally aligned. You can also play with the stereo separation in this.

Very nice work, Brian.

As an additional tip, and this is the basic principle of these pictures. Try looking with your right eye to the left picture, then crosseye untill your left eye sees the right picture. At that point your natural instinct wil be to uncrosseye, relax that instinct. The 3d pic will popup I promise.

XO,

ps. beautiful pictures

Good suggestion, XO!!

IF you are looking at your finger, then you SHOULD be seeing the left image with your right eye and vice versa. as you said.

Some folks - myself for one - just find it easier to converge on their fingertip first, and then view the stereo images.

Brian is also correct that the images must be at the same vertical height in the frames - humans converge pretty good horizontally, but vertical displacement will bonker most of us right away.

I cannot see those images hidden in those poster things either

It only took me about 5 min to get the hang of this. But then, I can see the images in the posters as well (now that was a fad - haven't seen one of those in years).

It is just so amazing to me the number of different ways that creativity is expressed with a camera. These are simply stunning and the 3d effect really makes them come alive!

Lord Vetinari

Thanks for the comments all
It's worth persevering to try and see the effect but not to the point of eye strain or headaches.
Obviously I like the effect these give, it just makes the image look like the real thing on your screen so you are tempted to reach out and touch the subjects.

The fly/flower, spider and rock/fungus/shroom(?) pics are my favs. Well done as usual. I love them in 3D.

Tessa HD

I've never seen this type of thing before!
I'm stunned! I love your little bug, and that drip - wow! thanks for sharing - I learned something new today!!!

man was not meant to see in 3-d!!!!

(just kidding)

I'm with some of the others--I can't see these in 3-d but I also won't lose sleep over it--

these pictures in 2-d alone are worth looking at-

lordv, you're the best!

Thanks George for the compliment- they come out a bit small for 2-D viewing though
