uncrossed 3D

After seeing quite a few 3D pairs here, I noticed they all, or at least the ones I have seen, swap the left and right images. I find it easier to leave them in place and spare the strain from crossing the eyes. To merge images, just get close, relax the eyes, and look past the picture. The distance between pictures should be close to your interocular distance. Zooming the browser screen helps (try Ctrl+ or Ctrl-). The example here is messed up by the moving water--sorry about that. Perhaps some who posted before would submit again with left and right unswitched.

Retina, you have 'kindled' some very humorous memories! Back, and I mean WAY back, when I was in school, a close friend and I were interested in 'stereo photos', and learned (from reading about it in Popular or Modern Photography magazine), that one could 'train' their eyes to see 3-D from a printed set of photos.
We each tried doing this for weeks, but when I finally succeeded, I happened to be in Study Hall in school... a very quiet place back then! In my excitement, when I first viewed the image as a 3-D, I burst out, "Finally, I see it", to my friend across the room.
I was expelled from Study Hall and sent to the Principal's office for disturbing others :cry: Thanks for the memories!

I really should look for that Realist Stereo camera I have somewhere. Does anyone still sell slide film? Lol

Papa Joe, your study hall monitor obviously never spent time with her grandma's stereoscope. I wish I could find my Grand Canyon pictures. They have no moving water and they do lend a perspective of the immensity of the place. Thanks for sharing the study hall incident. You repaid me with plenty of memories that I thought I had successfully repressed.
I used a pocket digital and moved right a couple inches between frames. Works great except when the still life isn't really still.

Right Retina - the Study Hall was a very intimidating guy... I didn't argue :) We, as children spent many Sat. afternoon's in the Public Library, viewing photos via their Stereoscopes. Was great entertainment. Try to tell a kid that now....(they would probably ask, "Who did... you and Abe Lincoln?" :D
