3-D crosseye stereogram of bubble blowing

3-D Cross-eye stereogram
Scatophaga stercoria blowing a bubble. Stare at the pic, slightly de-focus and cross your eyes until a third image appears in the middle and then try to relax your eyes to see a stable 3-D image. If you can visualise this one, try the large size.

yep great pic, was daft enough to try and see it in 3D and nearly sent myself boss eyed.

DarkMark says:

Great!!! but its hurting and difficult to focus. If you look at size "small" the eyes dont have to "cross over" that much.. less pain :)

Fantastic! Small size works better for me too.

Great 3D photo!
A bigger DOF maybe better?

Finally managed to get the 3D to pop out on this one. I could do it in the small size and it was seriously amazing. Tried the large size and no go -- just lots and lots of hairy legs.

Thanks all for the comments,
JiaGuodong,
agree increased DOF would be nice, but any decrease in aperture would give me reduced resolution (due to diffraction softening). I do sometimes use focus stacking to increase DOF but it's a bit difficult to get a fly to stay still whilst I take 4 shots of it- 2 is bad enough :)

It reaдy works! Great!

I've just play with it in GIMP and have found very interesting effect. I've copy the right part to the separate layer, then synchronize it with the left part and then set different values for the layer opacity... and as I've change the opacity it starts to move the point of view round the object! Very interesting.

By the way, how did you do such a photos (I mean two photos of the same object from the different angles of view)?

P.S. sorry for my English :)

Lord V says:

Thanks Purebill,
You can do something similar to what you are talking about by making an animated gif with fades in between.
The shots are very simple to do- take one shot and then quickly move the camera a couple of cms and take another shot. As I'm handholding the camera, it is easy to move it but difficult to set an exact distance on it.
By the way your English is excellent :)

OH MY GOD! SOMETHING HUGE JUST HAPPENED!
This was the first time in 19 years I got to see a 3-D image!!!
I'm pretty damn happy, yay.
This is really amazing, wow.

Fabee, Glad you got one to work, it's pretty amazing the first time.
Try the other ones in my photostream. There is also a sterephotography group here.

gee, when they work 100%, they are amazing to view, can move head around slightly and not loose sight of the image...just fantastic, the shots are awesome without the 3d, but they explode off the screen with it...wonderful work brian..:)

Have you seen the doco with richard Attenborough,
"Life in the Undergrowth'
It had a story about these wasps..

Lord V says:

Thanks Eekers and MicroMacro :)
Eekers- that's one of the reasons for postig these- to encourage others- they are very easy to do.
MicrMacro- come on Voldemort is one of the bad guys- Vetinari is definately one of the good guys :)
Yes I did see the recent series- awe inspiring- just wish I could do those wide angle macros they did. BTW it's a dungfly not a wasp :)

Trevor Nerbas says:

WOW! That's the first "stereogram" I've ever tried... it took me a couple tries, whilst I was thinking I wouldn't see anything, then there it was, a third picture comfortably focused in the center... amazing! :)

Anita363 says:

So why is it blowing a bubble?
Posted 46 months ago. ( permalink )

Lord V says:

Interesting question. No one really knows but is is quite a common fly practice. The consensus is it's done to aid digestion. Bees actually do a similar thing to concentrate the nectar into honey (ie it evaporates the water).

gina_belgium says:

Great Stereogram!
The fact that you manually change place to make the second image is even more awesome!
I've read somewhere you could do this with - in that case it was - two simple disposable camera's taped sideways to each other and pushing the button simultaneously.
This doesn't work for macro's unluckily!
I've done some in the SEM by tilting the stage.

wings69 says:

this is cool, but my mama taught me if i crossed my eyes they'd stay that way, so i keep trying, but they won't cross. :( bummer for me.
it's a GREAT macro. oh, saw it in Darren Rowse's photo letter he sends out. oh...sorry, Wyattx already said that. oops. ;)
i'll practice crossing my eyes, then come back. ;)

Lord V, your images are simply breathtaking. I shudder to think what your critters could do to a person if they were equally heavy. Nature is
such a 3D wonderment! Keep them coming!

qpkarl says:

I believe that's not a bubble but a drop of vomit. Many flies vomit on their food to start the digestion process and then lap up the resulting delicious slurry. Mmmm...
Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )

Lord V says:

Thanks for the comments all :)
qpkarl - you are partially correct- it is not a bubble but a drop of the stomach contents. The fly is not vomiting but producing these droplets and then sucking them back in again.

CameraShyMom (Busy with the holidays) says:

Ok, that is totally insane! I have never even heard of anyone doing this.........OMG!!! My eyes are hurting from staring at it for so long but that is truely amazing stuff. I am going to have to learn how to do this. Will this work with 1:1 magnification images? I am just in Awww over this!
Your waterdrop images are very beautiful as well. Hope you dont mind but I am adding you as a contact so I can keep up with your stunning work! Very very impressive stuff!

I did the small size first and then attemped the larger size..........It is even more spectacular to see. It is a bit harder to hold the focus but it is worth the effort. Remarkable!!!!!!!!!!

Lord V says:

Thanks again for the comments :)

CSM I do them at all sorts of magnifications - you just have to move sideways between shots about 1/30th of the subject distance (which isn't much for macro).

Well, that's not so easy as you told/wrote to Brian V, when making a macro, isn't it?! Certainly not when making a macro at this enlargement.
You must have had a device for it, I think!

Lord V says:

Thanks again for the comments :)

Lookatit - just using my standard macrophotography rig (DSLR & macro lens) - 2 shots with a little lateral movement in between them.
