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!

My FIL was a great hobby photographer....and he loved 3D. I recall he had a special camera and viewer for all his shots. It was cumbersome and frankly a pain-in-the-neck to view...but we humored him with all sorts of OOOOOOOOOOOOOOs and AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHs.

I’d be interested in your results!
