StereoBug197.jpg

Box Elder Bug-underside

Shot with custom made macro setup with "tilting" stage.
Specimen is rotated a few degrees in the long axis.

Stereo pair best viewed about 2-3 feet from screen.
I find "wall eyed" viewing the easiest, although some people
can cross their eyes to fuse the images into one.

If you havent' done this before, I suggest practicing by trying to fuse
the two images by relaxing your eyes (like gazing into the distance).
Some people need to start about 4-5 feet away and then move closer keeping
the image fused. Screen mag at viewing distance about 20X.
A two lens stereo viewer can also be used on the screen.

I got the stereo image immediately by just relaxing my eyes until I saw three images side by side, The center image was the 3D image. Sorry you didn't have time to do more with this technique.Thanks.

I'm into 3D and find it easier to fuse by crossing eyes. Unfortunately, that requires the images to be rearranged (L on R side and vice versa). Problem I found with macro shots is the missing DOF, limiting the 3D experience.

Most fascinating are live 3D shots of creatures in motion (human or animal).

Wow, thats really sad.
There's only one. Most stereo's take along time and leave me red eyed. This took
about 2 seconds. Do more!
