I’ve just bought a lens from loreo that should allow me to take sterograph pics. I’ve always had an interest in pictures that have a 3D effect – buying copies of the Eagle and Look-In when they had red and blue glasses on the cover and attempts to produce 3D comic strips.
Visiting Futuroscope in the 80’s I enjoyed the range of ways in which attempts were made to gain a 3D effect in movies. Recent articles suggest there are viable ways of developing the technology without the use of coloured or polarising glasses.
To date, I’ve produced a few pics using century old techniques – by taking two snaps with the same camera – moving it a couple of inches between exposures.
So far I’ve then lined them up for cross viewing in the GIMP, though I’ve also seen a 3D applet that I might use if I want to display more images as I experiment with the new lens.
