Hey David — first you make me seasick with all your ‘artisitic’ + very t^i-l_t-y camera angles — now you’re trying to make me go BLIND too! — with this latest assault on what’s let of my senses — a cross-eyed, 3-d optical illusion on my computer? You sure you don’t want me to hop on one foot while I view the screen too? Hey, I have trouble enough being TWO dimensional!

I had to leave another response.

I just couldn’t bear seeing that headling “1 responses to this topic.” — By leaving this second comment, I’m assuming that heading will change itself to be grammatically correct. We survived the Y2K turnover, but in 2007, there’s no way for technology to catch up with 200 year old grammar? Just call me Mr. Sunshine.

There is a way. There’s a PHP fix but I haven’t got around to it yet. Hang on a minute …

There. I flipped it around. Is that better? Best I can do without messing with the PHP.

I see it—but then I’ve never had trouble with this technique.

How far apart were these pictures taken? The front bushes seem a little blurry or out of sorts.

This technique would be fun to try.

Oh good – thanks for the confirmation Jeffrey. Front bushes are pretty well in focus for me (within the limits of my camera, which is just a little 4 megapixel job).

For me, the front X is kind of set back into the bushes, with some of the vegetation overhanging it, whereas the other background X appears to float in midair above the bushes.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I positioned the camera for the two shots, but they can’t have been taken much more than a few inches apart.

I’m definitely trying this again next time I go out, maybe on macro setting …

Wow! I have a few friends who’d like to see this! V. nice – and by accident, too! Macro would be good… It worked for me, BTW, first time without a stereoscope!!

David — quite cool — it works. Excellent (thorough) description of how to make it work, and also how to know when you’re on the right track for seeing stereoscopically.

Haha! Thought I wouldn’t be able to see this as I’m a bit long-sighted. After a few seconds, the whole thing snapped into focus. Amazing what the old brain can do, isn’t it?
