MAKE 3D IMAGES without fancy equipment! (easy stereo photo tutorial)

[@johnkristoff2341]

A master class on stereoscopy. Many Thanks.

[@TourWithMelanie]

thank you! this is an excellent description

[@FilNenna]

Glad you found it useful! 3D images are a lot of fun.

[@fronknstine]

Many thanks for this explanation, and for the accompanying examples 🙏. You cover a lot.

[@FilNenna]

that's very kind - thanks for the comment!

Interesting video, what about formating a 3d photo for VR headset viewing?

[@olafzijnbuis]

In the seventies, Asahi Pentax sold a stereo adapter. It was mounted to the front of a 50 mm lens and produced 2 portrait images on slide film using a standard 36x24 mm SLR camera like the famous Spotmatic. The slide could be viewed using the stereo slide viewer that came with the set. The results were... not so good.

[@FilNenna]

Oh no! I'd love to try one out regardless.

[@jonz2984]

Excellent video, thank you.

[@FilNenna]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mabh838]

Very clear and simple explanation , thank you for effort

[@FilNenna]

You are welcome - glad it was useful!

[@heinzhagenbucher4714]

How cool is this! Got it right away. And I'll try it when I'm out again with a nice subject. Thank you ever so much.

[@FilNenna]

Glad you found it useful! Let us know how it goes.

[@heinzhagenbucher4714]

@@FilNenna Will do. But you need to be a bit patienced. 😊

Two identical action cameras set up identically and attached to a light bar on a handle works reasonably well. I use two older AEE s71 action cams.

[@FilNenna]

Perfect. And you can get the action cameras quite close together if needs be, too. I like it.

[@pwolkowicki]

I used 2 YI action cameras, but they had different WB settings. And they only had Auto WB.

Nice illustration sir

[@rahummi20]

Thank you man for that i really love 3d and i did pictures like you showed but my lg 3d tv can't show them right, i can see them with my crossing eyes but my tv can't

[@gautampatel9056]

Hi nice summary. I have been using stereo photo maker a free software, able to color correct and align images. Output can be in various formats suitable for different devices.

[@pioneercynthia1]

Can I print the images?

[@TheMwarrior50]

I have heard that you can take 2 shots at about the human eye width of 2.5~3", having them completely facing straight and on the same level. So long as you do that, you can adjust what part of the image remains in "focus" in post. Is this true? I heard that a distance of 6" or so is good for longer shots according to this video, but just out of curiosity, what's the science behind it?

[@pwolkowicki]

I made some 3D pictures and short videos just to test it. My biggest isue is how to comfortably watch them. Crossing eye view works but it's very tiring for eys. I bought a 3D viewer for my phone (those googles you put on and put your phone in) but for some reason it's hard to use them and the effect isn't great. Best for me so far are anaglyphs - best 3d effect, not tiring for my eyes. I did those 3D using 1 camera technique, 2 identical camera (action cameras, but they used to work in slightly different WB) and Samsung NX with 3D lens (45/1.8 3D). Samsung also had some issues with exposing right and left size. And 2 shots were just one after another so no fast moving objects could be found in the scene.

[@FilNenna]

I think that is exactly why stereo goes into and out of fashion so fast. It can strain the eyes, and you need special equipment (sometimes expensive and/or bulky) to do it.

[@kukp960]

@@FilNenna I use two Fuji Instax SQ 6 mounted on a rail side by side, and a thirty years old viewer, which enlarges a bit, and is a bit prismatic, so you won't have to stress your eyes. Works pretty nice, also for children and elderly people, who otherwise would not succeed to view the stereoscopic effect.

[@sanch2741]

Use good quality Google cardboard to view sbs stereo images and videos

[@akkashb625]

Very informative!!!! What’s the minimum inch distance required to make a stereoscopic image?

[@FilNenna]

Usually, the lower limit is the distance between human eyes - about 2.5 inches. I imagine you could go narrower for macro stereo images, though I don't know too much about that. You'd also be limited by the physical size of your cameras and lenses.

[@dunnymonster]

Excellent 👍

[@FilNenna]

Thanks for the thumbs up!
