Strange pic for a first posting....but.

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This is my first image post, not a fantastic lightning shot, or a great scenic, or even a sort of nice portrait....but just a bit of fun.

Was wasting a few idle minutes at my desk with D70 in hand. Thought I'd try a hand held stereo shot.
Time from first shutter release to finished image, under 5 minutes.

Fantastic Mike. I remember trying to get the hang of those magic eyes when they first came out.

Incidently, I saw a whole series of stereoscopic images but the subject was beautiful nude models. I must try and find thelink.

Nice work

Stare at the centre of the two images.
Let your eyes relax, so that you in effect focus past the images.
You should gradually see third, centre, image which will be in 3D.
However there are some people who can not do this.

They are rather tricky.
I found the link to the other site - beware, it has nekked wimin on it, but I have to say, it's a lot more fun trying to see it on this site rather than a bottle and a vcr cassette :D

Interesting effect, of course I had to check out the err ummm other site with the models... Now I'm not sure whether the cross eyed effect was the photographic technique, the subject, or just me goin' funny... :lol:

Hehehe, I'm glad I'm not the only fan... I actually only recently added Mallrats to my DVD collection, just had it on video before... some classic comedy in there.
