Rhodie Bashing and  Xmas tree burying
Our conservation group removing well established R. ponticum
bushes at Hare Hill, Cheshire last month.
Two left/right images stitched in KolorAutoPanoGiga3 and blended in StereoPhotoMaker to produce an anaglyph panorama.

Red/cyan glasses to view in 3D

Thanks to those who took the trouble to view and comment on my last anaglyph. :wavey:

Nice idea to pano, i would have then cropped to remove the trimmings, looks like tough work in any dimension! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Thanks Phil. It's amazing what us OAPs get up to when on the slippy slope to Oblivion. :eek: :biggrin: :wink: The crop would have removed too much of the roots in the left foreground so I decided to make a feature of the orthographic projection. Another take on the cropping debate.:biggrin: :wink:
Burying Christmas trees at Formby Point on Friday. Should be interesting in the rain. :biggrin:

Here is a cropped pano anaglyph this time showing me (under the arrow). The left hand image taken by Carole one of the younger members of our group.

Well done you. Anyone who cuts and burns ponticum is a friend of British woodland, the burning may make a good picture too.

Yes. to help with sand dune stabilisation so they can resist wind erosion etc; unwanted Christmas trees are very useful in this respect.
Above is an example of what took place last January. A 2D image just for you, Bob :biggrin: :wink: :wavey:
