Hello,

In a desperate attempt to capture some "live" subjects I bought a couple of single-use cameras and affixed them to a straight edge. The closest I could get the lenses was 4.5 inches apart so I was forced to roughly an 11 foot distance from my subject but at least I was able to take some "live" shots.

I added the new photos to the web page. To view the "newest" pictures, make sure you choose the "Sort by Date" radio button.

If you could take a look at the web page and let me know what you think it would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to give me any pointers as I am always eager to learn.

Thanks,

Josh Hed

I love stereo-grams but I can only see the wide-eyed viewing type. I cannot see anything other than 2 images side by side.

I consider this guy to be the best I have seen

How should be view your images? Some of the images are too large for me to fuse by eye alone. I consider myself an athlete, at least when it comes to registering stereo images.

I was able to fuse the bed image because the images are not quite as far apart. You’re correct that the inter-camera eye distance is a little too large. A pair of old coolpix 990’s will get you to within a nominal eye separation distance or less for macro subjects such as your deer model. The bed image has a blue cast and could use some improvement in contrast and color.

A couple more comments. My previous comments were based only on the first page of your album. Some of your full images are swapped, requiring a wall-eyed approach to fusing them – these I find impossible.

The cross-eyed images are possible to view, and yes, the inter-occular distance is too large, giving an unconfortable exaggerated 3D effect and making some subjects look smaller than reality – always a problem with 3D in any case.

Time to revive the stereopticon? I’d love to do 3D panoramas… —
