So i’ve taken a huge dive into the stereo imaging pool, and have to learn how to swim .. fast !
After experimenting with some "cha-cha" attempts at imaging, my next step was to begin using my tripod coupled with some guess work. if you’re making stereo images and only have one camera … get a slide bar, build one out of aliminum, get 1/4" bolts from a good ironmongers and save yourself a lot of grief.
There are new digital stereo pair camera’s cropping up on the market, but to be honest, i’ve only just invested in a panasonic 3CCD camcorder with digicam in-built. I’m not shelling out more cash jsut yet .. it may be 2.3 Megapixels, so I’m going analog for my adventures in stereo!
Here is an example (shot with a Panasonic NV-GS200)
There is some ghosting with this image, which I apologise for, i’m still learning to post process anaglyphs !
I’m thinking of buying the Loreo 3D Lens-In-A-Cap for my T-70. do you recommend it for someone just getting started with 3-d photography?
thanks
Its a good beginning, I don’t use mine much these days as I am using a dedicated Stereo Camera.
I wouldn’t have got as into stereoscopy if I had not bought it. Although now I have a Canon 350D, it would be fun to see what the results would be like, with an EOS fit version.
I’d say go for it, unless you’ve got the extra money to get a second hand stereo camera .. which could serve you better in the long run, as far as mounting and cropping goes, it doesn’t produce the most correct stereo image, but its good for creating 6×4 type prints.
