If you are wondering how to take 3-D pictures, it's a fairly simple process.  I've been doing this for a number of years with just a basic camera and without a tripod.  Most of my older shots were taken with a simple Kodak Instamatic.  It's just a matter of taking two pictures of the same object; only moving the camera 2 to 8 inches left or right  for the 2nd shot, from the original shot.  Try to keep the camera at the same level for each shot and be aware of where the center of the shot is. 

If you are doing a photo where the main object is a great distance away such as for cloud pictures, then you will want to move even farther apart (up to 4 feet, maybe even more) to get the 3-D effect.  Also, a far away object will  look better if you have a close object also in the picture. 

Once the photos are developed, the next tricky part is making sure the "right" picture is to the right of the "left picture.  If not, you will see a "reverse" dimensional picture that will drive your eyes/brain  crazy.  It really helps to have a stereoscope to view the photos after developing to get them on the correct sides but it is not necessary. 

Below are more 3-D pictures to practice with. 

Update on the above (June 26, 1999):  I have been able to get the same effect with larger photos.  As you go thru my pages (other pages not uploaded yet) you will find some with larger photos. The smaller photos merge the quickest. It really helps if there is no glare on the screen., 

Update #2 (June 29, 1999): I'm learning new things fast. These pages are set up for "Free-viewing" with the "parallel method." Free viewing means looking at the 3-D images without aids, in other words, with just your eyes. There are 2 basic methods for "free-viewing." One is the parallel method, which these pages use, and the other is the "crossed eye" method which I will experiment with on these pages at some later date.
