100 year old officers’ quarters, in black & white 3D photo

Took this at Fort George Wright, which was an Army post over 100 years ago. Now it is used for other things including higher education.

This photo was taken with a single Lumix GH-2, moving about 3 inches between shots, and then processed in Stereo Photo Maker. The original color images were converted to black and white because the red bricks of the buildings cannot be displayed correctly when viewed through red/cyan glasses. Red/cyan glasses required for the 3D image.

Dam, in 3D

Both of these 3D photos are of interest in that the difference between the left and right images is very small (look for the red or cyan colors). Its so small that the photos work as 2D pictures but then put on your red/cyan glasses and what do you see?

With the slight separation, you will likely need to click on each photo to see them in full screen.

In this second photo, the stereo base is too narrow to capture 3D depth on the dam and beyond. But the tree the foreground is offset nicely. Both photos were taken with a Fujifilm W3 in 4:3 ratio mode (10 MP).

Much 3D photograph is shot with some pretty excessive red/cyan separation that leaves some ugly “ghosting” in the image. I am experimenting with trying to minimize the amount of separation needed – when its subtle, as in these photos, ghosting is not a problem.
