Stereoscopic in the woods

I took a walk in my woods with my phone and tried taking some more stereoscopic photos. These are all parallel view (I still can’t do cross view, and my eyes ache from trying.)

Photo description: a look into the woods between two trees, this one doesn’t have much depth, it is mostly foreground and background
Photo description: path up a hill through the woods, this one came out better, there are objects in the middle distance that help set up the depth and I feel like the framing works
Photo description: path through a thicket, this is my favorite of the three here, there is a branch in the foreground that comes forward, and all the brambles next to the path give a nice sense of depth

Here are my tricks when I’m having trouble merging the two photos to see the 3D image: take off my glasses or put them on, make sure there isn’t a glare on the screen, move the screen closer then farther away. There are some images that I simply cannot get the trick to work, sometimes it is the day or hour, and sometimes I suspect poor composition. My favorite stereoscopic (and stareograms) images are the ones so well done that it just pops together with very little effort.
