Trees in 3D - You see so much more

Ray Tomes says:

As someone who takes quite a few 3D photos, I have found that it makes more difference to tree photos than to most subjects. Other 3D people agree with this. There are two common ways to present 3D on flickr. Anaglyphs use red-cyan glasses and are easy to view although the colour is not so good. Cross-view or cross-eye uses a technique that takes a little while to acquire with ease and requires no special equipment and gives full colour.

For information about viewing and making 3D Photographs.

Here is a selection of my 3D tree shots of each type. Cross-eye at the top and anaglyph below for those that have glasses.

	Ray Tomes says: Thanks for the kind comments. I just went for a walk in "Smith's Bush" on Auckland's North Shore and have a heap more photos, including many 3D. Will post some 2D and some 3D to the pool today. Initially there is a little eyestrain with the crosseye technique, but after practice it gets easier (and maybe you go around like that all the time ;-) Originally posted 39 months ago.

	Ray Tomes says: This one has a frame that the walk way jumps out of. This is called OOB for out of boundary. It is even more fun in 3D than in 3D. And looking straight up: Originally posted 39 months ago. (permalink) Ray Tomes edited this topic 39 months ago.
	dorsetlass says: Wow - amazing effects, but my eyes feel VERY funny now...I'll just go and lie down for a minute....... Posted 38 months ago. (permalink)
	Ray Tomes says: It gets easier as you go along. :-) For those that have 3D glasses (red-cyan) then all theses pictures are also available in that anaglyph format adjacent to these pictures in my photo stream. Posted 38 months ago. (permalink)
	Markie Nelson says: These are great. I used to have those cross eyed books and can pretty much go cross eyed at will so these are pretty easy for me to view, but for some reason I hadnt really looked for them on flickr. Thank you! I'm very much considering trying this! It's one better than a panoramic! :D Posted 38 months ago. (permalink)
	Brunosmmm says: This is simply amazing. Impressive, the amount of detail that doesn't seem to be stored in the pictures, yet shows up with 3D photography. Posted 38 months ago. (permalink)
	ausfi says: Its great to find your cross eyed photos. I used to love to view them, but have not been able for years as I have only had one eye operated for cataract. These will encourage me to have the other one fixed so I can view them again ;) Posted 28 months ago. (permalink)
