I've made a number of anaglyphs using two disposable cameras mounted side-by-side with the buttons pushed simultaneously. I've also mounted them so they can be viewed with a stereopticon. And, I made a slide mount for my old Canon 10D that allowed two pictures to be taken sequentially. They all worked fine. I've never been able to master the cross-eyed technique. Stereo photos have been used for aerial mapping for many years. The cameras are gigantic, of course. Many civil war photos were stereos, but one usually sees only one image. A few years ago, someone published book of them that included molded plastic glasses to view them with. I think this might be it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B002ED2X10/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0 Roger On 2 Mar 2010, at 8:09 AM, lookaround360@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Andrew, > > What camera or method did you use?

They had an aerial photo under a stereoscope. I was so impressed that I wanted to do something like that, but I never actually get a stereo camera nor stereoscope (but I did some rudimentary experiments with hand-held mirrors - in retrospective, I could have cut my nose *blush*).

However, stereograms retain full and faithful color information.

High resolution allows me for some error (so I can crop the images) and with digital technology I can have them pretty easily.

I put the images in one file, one next to the other in photoshop and voilá! >>> >>> The only sad part is that not everybody can watch them until they master their cross-eye technique (and you have to be careful for distracting reflections on the screen surface).
