3D stereo image
was a dream of every photographer. But it's a reality in these days and
making 3D images
has never been so easy. The principle is simple - make two shots
(for both eyes) and superimpose them in a computer. Then, you can see real
color three-dimensional image
with very cheap red-cyan glasses
.
Great idea is to use infrared remote control
for synchronisation.
So, you don't need any special equipment like stereo camera. It's possible to make two images from one camera, but it's very uncomfortable. I recommend to use two digital cameras. Then, you will need freeware software to make red-cyan 3D image - anaglyph. Producing 3D photo will take three clicks. Just load left image, load right image and make color 3D anaglyph.
For viewing of 3D anaglyph you have to obtain 3D red-cyan glasses
. Paper glasses are very cheap. You can get a pair of them for free at

Your left and right eye will see different image and your brain will produce plastic 3D effect.
Download freeware software - Anaglyph Maker.
You can see three pictures on the screen-shot above - for left eye, right eye and a result. It's 3D anaglyph - real stereo 3D image.
