Thread: A Good Friday.......... for taking photos

Hi John,
I use canon's photostitch for my pano's. Seems to work well and is a free download (Ver 3.1 I think).
Th next thing you need to try is the 3D ones. You can do it with one camera. You just need to take 2 photos an eye width apart ( do not move your head for the second shot, move the camera across)
I then have another piece of free software that makes the single image for you.
It will do red/blue glasses and all the other types as well.
If you want to do people you need to get them to stand still but even a little bit doesn't hurt.
You can make a small mount for a tripod that lefts you slide the camera from Pos 1 to position 2 to give you the images. I don't have one as the software lets you mark a top left and bottom right on 2 pictures and it then works out where things are before it makes the final image.
Other people get 2 cameras and mount them base to base and take the pictures at the same time.
If your at robbos on 21st I'll see you there.

Oooooh! That sounds fun. Can you give us the link to the free software?

Love the pics to Grumpy. Driving to work I have often thought that the fog would make great pics.

No troubles,

StereoPhoto Maker (English) (I have an older version)

How to Make 3D Images Using StereoPhoto Maker: 23 steps has good explanation and a link to the other site.

If you want to make one of those old stereo picture viewers, Where you put the cards in and look down thru it. It will do those as well. The old viewfinder, Bit of wood bending etc.
I have a real one and lots of old pictures for that as well.

If you use 2 pictures that are different it can do those ones where you put plastic sheet over the top and when you move it the picture moves (they do some dvd covers in them, That one where you run your nail over it and it buzzs).

Ta! Amazing business cards coming soon.

I have another piece of software, so that if you take 24 pictures of an object on a lazy susan (or turn by hand). It will remove the background and turn it into a animated gif of the item rotating. I know you'll want it but I need to find it again, don't use it much.
How nice will it be having a moving picture of the things you make??
It worked like this one http://www.tabletopstudio.com/docume...hotography.htm but was a free one as well.

Great images John. Like the long exposure on the first, well done

I was going to sneak through the barbed wire to get some better shots. If you take a close look at the fence in the first photo you'll see why I didn't .

It worked like this one 3D Object Photography - taking pictures using a turntable but was a free one as well.

Could be good for the web site. That I must get up again.
