Stereograms

I did several searches and came up empty handed for 3D photography, so here is my thread. This started the other day when it popped into my head I should be able to create 3D images with my D50 if I just shoot nearly identical images from about two or three inches apart. There is a little more to it than just snapping to pics though. Keeping the camera level is important and not as easy as you would think. There is convergence, focus, and not having stuff too close to the camera. (extreme foreground objects tend to "double" in the final composite) So, with some practice I have started to get some really interesting images. Here are some of the compass we're using in our Lovefest entry.
In order to view them as a stereogram you can do three things.
1. Find a stereogram viewer and take it off the stick. You can't get close enough to the screen to focus.
2. Find a stereogram viewer and make print outs of the images. The individual images are 3 inches across.
3. Cross your eyes while looking at the sets of images and let a third image form in the middle. This image will be very 3 dimensional. This last method can result in headaches. You have been advised. Don't force your eyes.
So, here are some images you can look at 3 dimensionally.

So your doing anaglyphic 3D images, the best way is with colours using the cyan/ red glasses.

Photoshop will take those two images and make them into a stereo image. If you have the glasses I can do it for you....

also one key thing to make the 3D image as clean as possible, you must make sure the lens moves 65mm when yout ake the second shot, no more or less. everyones eyes are 65mm apart, no matter how big your head is your eyes are always 65mm apart, so if you move the camera 65mm it mimics what your eyes see....
