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.
