The problem:
Taking two consecutive images for 3D requires the subject to remain unmoved which practically eliminates shooting people. And a 2D to 3D conversion is practically out of the question since there will areas in the background which aren't in the original picture where the background is adjacent to a foreground object (I have used both cloning and content aware fill but not to great success.)

The solution:
A composite of the foreground (people) and a 3D background. In this example I used a 2D shot from Bryce Canyon converted it to 3D using the Displace filter. I cut out the image of people from another photograph and pasted it onto both the original and displaced images of Bryce Canyon. I could have converted the people image to 3D also but I thought a flat image would be good enough in relation to the deep background of Bryce Canyon. I am posting an anaglyph but I also have left and right images to print for my 3D viewer.

Not an ideal background for anaglyph because it has too much red in it. I would advise choosing a bkg. composed of other colors besides red or try a Dubois anaglyph.

Wouldn't be easier to use one of these https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-Real-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B003ZHV70M

A nice alternative reality image IMHO.

There is no doubt it would be easier but few people are willing to give up exposure control and megapixels and part with $849.95 to get a few images easier. This is more about the challenge of doing it yourself. Some people like challenges.

I appreciate your looking and commenting.
