Default 3D Cliffs Of Dover Pictures

Here are some 3D test shots taken in the Cliffs Of Dover QMB.

To view these pictures in 3D, blur your vision until you are seeing three versions of the image, then overlap the left and right images and focus on that overlapped centre image, which should be in 3D.

When you can see the image in 3D, you can then hold up your hands to block the 'ghost' images on the left and right of it in order to see the 3D one more clearly.

For me, I look at the right-side image, unfocus my eyes and the out of focus left-side image just slides onto the right-side image to form the 3D image, which I can then focus on as normal, but in 3D.

Here's a page that explains how to view these kinds of pictures - http://www.3dphoto.net/text/viewing/technique.html

And here's a (somewhat strange) video that also explains the technique in more detail -

I didn't spend a lot of time selecting these shots, just loaded up the QMB and took some shots to see if it would work. And whaddya know, it does.




























I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to do. Just take a picture, move the camera to the side a bit, take another picture, then combine them in a picture editing program (I use the free GIMP program), and there you have it. You do have to make sure the correct picture is on the correct side of the final picture for the effect to work, but you can see easily enough if you've got them in the right order.
