Ah..........It doesn't work on Mac.......and there NO WAY i'm ever touching windows. Any suggestions?

There's a way of doing it in Pixelmator, I'll just have to knuckle down and suss it out.

Above the link for Anaglph Worksop for mac...it costs £6.99 though.

Right ...ok.... 3rd attempt.... I know it's not brilliant subject matter (out of bedroom window) but it seems to work, I think.

Just had quick look at this interesting thread.  The knife but especially the ferns work really well. Great shots. I remember doing this for the IHC MAN some time ago just winging it using PS and GIMP and a normal camera.

No - when we did this as a challenge in the IHCMAN there was a couple of folk who managed superb 'moving' 3D images with an ordinary camera. One was Stuart Dunlop who had his dog going round in circles - the other was Howard Walker who managed several amazing images rotating.

im looking to give some 'wiggle 3d' images a try, would you accept these in the 3D IHC?

Heres what im aiming for:

"wiggle" is the hardest type of 3D for most people to see

I didnt know this, can everyone not see it moving then ?

Anne`s idea of a gallery in the Taking Pictures Forum rather than a challenge in the UK Forum sounds good to me, Steve... Particularly as you may get more entries as people from other countries can join in easily

Here`s a shot I took of the garden today ... think maybe the distance between the 2 shots wasn`t far enough though

That's them Howard - I had a feeling it was 'space' stuff. I have no idea how Stuart did his but they worked really well.

I am always intrigued by trying out something new and used to see some of these pictures being entered in the 'Out of Bounds' section on Flickr. I could never really see them properly, so I have myself a couple of pairs of cheapo glasses on order and who knows once I have had a better look at some of the pictures I may have a go at doing some myself as it does look quite interesting.

Yes, well done Ady.   I do like the ferns though.   What happens now Steve?   I've been practicing.   You really need something in the foreground don't you to really get the effect?

My coloured specs arrived today courtesy of Amazon UK via California and made in China, (for some inexplicable reason) so I have been trying them out and with the right pictures the effects are brill. I recon that the fern picture is a great start as are all the others, glad that I purchased two pairs as my grand-kids will no doubt be hogging the PC over the weekend. So now its off to study the technique, read all the tutorials and to come back on here with some mind blowing pictures .......... maybe one of that pig that just flew past.

You mean the pot with the green foliage at the bottom left? remember it was only a quick practice shot outside and I was not really trying to set up anything specific or composed, to be honest I was amazed that it even worked first time, how lucky is that? I did not even know what I was doing, so I set up my tripod at about 1.8 to 2.0 metres away from the bush and fired off two shots with around 80 mm of left to right travel between them, I did take some care to make sure that the camera was level though. What sort of distance would a close up shot require? does this decrease with the closeness to the subject or should it remain constant?

Is this the sort of thing you want Ady?   Are you looking for a building?  I cropped this one down a bit.
