3D Boke and SHARE 3D pls!

Kevin

Hi
Use the cross-eyed method to view these.
I quite enoyed the 3D boke here



This one has nice depth to it


Good detail in this one for me.


Please share your 3D shots, would love to see em here!

that is so much fun it's scary way cool.:jawdrop takes a sec to get it but man thats sharp thank you rick.

Lord Vetinari

Good 3-Ds - all worked for me. You might want to try stereophotomaker- freeware- excellent for aligning the pics plus it will put the pics together with a frame round each one which makes them easier to visualize.

I like doing 3-D macros

fine. i'm sold. HOW do you create this?

nice photos but i am unable to see stereo photos effect

i think thay are shot at two angels one just a little to one side not much but a little i think? but very cool.rick

Dang it! I can never see these 3D shots,
no matter who posts them or how I get told to view them,
I cannot get my eyes to see the images as one .... Skippy

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who can't see these things! I've crossed my eyes, squinted, unfocused, nothing works for me.

Same here

Try with Dr. Vet's first..it's a little bit easier. Look at the red line dividing the two images. Cross your eyes. There are now three out of focus flies. Relax your eyes (while still crossed) so they're looking at the "middle image". If you try to hard your brain won't let you see it, you have to relax.

Also, make sure that a)ALL of both images fit on your screen and b) your mouse is NOT on either image.

Taken with a Loreo '3D Lens in a Cap' the I received for Christmas

http://www.loreo.com/

These can be found at numerous dealers online, just google for '3d lens in a cap'

I find the the larger sized images can be tough to view on screen without a viewer. I like to stick with smaller images so they are easier to see with crossed eyes

If you order ione make sure to get the right one, they are different for full frame and APS sized sensors

If you want to take the pics without an additional beamsplitter then you will need to take 2 images of the same thing, but the camera needs to be moved between shots. If you are as good as Brian/Lord V then you can just move the camera and take the 2 shots, but the rest of us mere mortals need some help .

You can buy a slide bar, similar to this

http://www.3dstereo.com/viewmaster/bar-bmmm.html

Mount your camera on that. Take the first shot, slide the camera sideways a coupe of inches and then take the second shot.

Join the two pics in PS and then view them from a comfortable distance.

The downside to this method is that it does not allow you to take pictures that might have movement in them (clouds, flowers blowing in the wind, cars racing by etc)
you can imagine how hard it might be to view those kinds of pics if something has moved between the frames

For help in viewing larger imaages you might have to move away from the print/screen in order to be able to do the cross eye viewing. I cant view the larger images in this thread at normal viewing distances without a viewer, but move back a couple of feet and its a lot easier

Thanks Kevin
each shot of the fly pair is focus stacked from at least 2 shots- you need a very patient fly.

Doug, Rick, indeed.
You shoot one, then move horizontally about 3 inches or so, shoot again.
combine in pp and voila!

Some hints on viewing cross-eye stereograms on this link
http://www.angelfire.com/ca/erker/freeview.html

To take them with a normal camera you use the cha- cha method- take one shot move the camera sideways about 1/30th of the nearest subject distance and take another shot . I think technically you are not supposed to reframe the second shot, ie move the angle of the camera, but I nearly always do. You can put the shots together in photoshop remembering to swap the pictures over (ie pic taken on the left is put as the right of the pair), but it is a lot easier to use the freeware prog stereophotomaker as this also allows you to align the pics properly (you need to get the same elements in both pics all horizontally aligned with each other) this helps reduce eye strain when viewing them. The prog also allows you to play with the stereo window (ie how far behind the frame the elements appear to be) but you need a pair of anaglyph glasses to do this (those red,blue filter glasses). Normally all the picture should appear to be behind the frame but you are allowed elements to appear in front of it as long as they do not touch the frame- when this is done part of the image appears to be in front of the monitor screen.

good job andy!
like em too much

Lord Vetinari

Andy,- I assume the Loreo device produces parallel stereo pairs?

Lord Vetinari

A few more cross-eye stereograms
Here's some more.
The passion flower works particularly well.
#3 has a through the window element to it.

Brian - Not sure what you mean, the Loreo take 2 pictures, on the same frame, one next to the other.

You view them by staring at them and relaxing your eyes till the two frames come together. Not sure if you really end up crossing your eyes or just the act the you are focusing your eyes beyond the images and the 2 images are merging through that.

I am planning on getting a slide bar to do the Cha-Cha method. The loreo is a lot of fun, but your are limited to taking only 2 portrait images on a sinagle frame. You cant rotate the camera to get 2 Landscape images , as your eyes dot not look at the world rotated 90 degrees .

All in all this is an interesting experiment and add a new dimension (pun intended ) to photography

Andy

I suspect the loreo gives you a parallel viewing pair which you stare through as you suggest to get the stereo pair. I'm so used to doing cross-eye ones that I can't do parallel ones now- you do get a 3-D effect doing them cross-eye but certain parts of it are wrong (things in front instead of being behind objects).
From my limited survey of users- people tend to find cross-eye ones are easier to visualise although those magic eye things from a few years ago were all parallel stereograms I believe.
Brian V.

andymillson

OK that would explain why I have trouble viewing your pairs, as I am used to the parallels way of viewing things. Also there are defintiely some issues when using the viewers, again with things being in front when they should be behind etc.

I am not going to pretend that the Loreo solution is perfect. The lens is a 35mm, f/11 or f/22 lens only. Can only be used with the camera in Landscape mode to take 2 Portrait images per frame. The lenses appear to be plastic, so im am sure that is going to cause some issues.

But it is simple to use and produces some fun images to play with. If it whets some appetites for people to explore further then that is a good thing, and th eprice is pretty good too

Maybe once, tops, twice, in my life
have I uttered the phrase OMG.
I will then call this number 3.

sheesh

Lord V is the real deal. Those are some amazing images. In 3d they just POP out at you - literally.
