OK, this is the last photo pair that I took at the Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City, OK. This one is my favorite.

The plant in the foreground is centered in the photo, and the side of the trench hits about the same place in each photo, which gives less edge artifacts when viewing the 3D image. I like the way the plants and trees add depth, and more trees and the conservatory are in the background.

That is it for the stereographic photography for now. It is such an easy thing to do when I’m taking pictures, though, that I will absolutely be taking more. I have fun seeing the unexpected depth in the blog feed, so I’ll keep sharing too.

Here is a quick recap of my process: I find a subject with a foreground, mid ground, and background, with little or no moving elements. I plant my feet hip width apart and hold the camera at eye level. I shift my weight to the left, take a portrait picture, then switch my weight to the right and take another portrait picture. At home, I make a file in my photo editor that is twice as wide as my portrait photos and put the photos next to each other. I have to zoom out to see the parallel view and check that I put the photos in the right order. I then switch the photo positions for the cross view. I still can’t view the cross view, which is called a cross view because the left eye looks at the right picture, and the right eye looks at the left picture. It gives me a headache.
