In response to David's request.
This is White helvella (Helvella crispus.)
These are not done with any special equipment - just by moving the camera a few inches -taking two pictures. They are then processed in a free 3D programme. Static subjects like this are easy , but I am working on birds and insects etc. They work well on projectors and have done a couple of talks where the audience has to be given glasses. Bit of a pain . Prints go down well too- especially with the kids.
The large version shows the full potential of a system which you can do with the gear you already have.
You have to be careful not to move the camera too far else strange effects appear with subjects leaping out into your face. This fungi shot is about the right amount . Feel free to dowload the large one and save it untill you get some glasses. If anyone would like to see some bird shots send me an E mail.

I do believe Fran and I were there when you took this.... also seem remember seeing it in print on that day too... will have another look with glasses when I get home tonight, but it did look pretty good at the time... (even if you missed them and that they are a rarety for the forrest )

Just got back from Dunham Massey. Had a great day eradicating Rhodies from Headman's Covet. Plenty of 3D photos and video of the day's activities.
John, my cup runneth over. Excellent anaglyph of a species I've not seen before. Keep them coming, it was getting lonely here for a Third Dimensionist.
Good explanation of your technique, I hope some adventurous soul will give it a go.
With the money I got for Christmas presents I'm tempted to buy this to have a go at 3D stacking with one of my Sigma SD14 dslrs.

Thanks David
I bough two ceap focus rails and they were absolute rubbish !! Binned 'em and do it manually.

You only get what you pay for, John. I don't think manually will be precise enough for 3D stacking. Novoflex stuff is great IMHO, when I can afford it.

good effect, i remember some of the birds you posted on the old forum, they looked good too
