Here's one for you ...

Sit about 1 meter from your screen and hold up your thumb halfway between you and it, look at your thumb, then focus on the image you see just behind it (you can move your thumb forward and back till this occurs), remove thumb.

You should hopefully have combined the two images into a single 3D one.

That’s pretty neat! Thanks for posting. I knew you could get a 3D image like that but had not heard the tip about using your thumb to set it up.

I am a professional freelance photographer, starving artist in my wife’s language. I went through a phase a couple of years ago where I was enamored with stereo pictures. I have an adapter for my Nikon cameras that lets me take stereo pairs. What a blast. Never could figure out how to make money with it, but that’s hardly unique to my career.

I am going to download your moon image and use it to make some similar images from my own pictures. If I have any luck I’ll post a couple for you to try out. I went through a real phase of looking for things to really take advantage of the 3D effect. But then I passed out of that phase, into another similarly titillating but unprofitable phase. This time it was large format printing. I love making posters and have even managed to sell a few.

Thanks for the post! At least this time I’ll be dabbling in something that won’t cost me a fortune since I already have the equipment!
