A different perspective

Reading some articles about 3D in a computer magazine made me think what would be required to create such images myself.

The easiest way to present such images is in the form of anaglyphs, you only need red/cyan glasses to look at them. The advantage of this method is that the images can be viewed on a computer screen but can also be printed with a normal inkjet printer.

Normally you would need a 3D camera or a camera bar (to move the camera between shots) to get the 2 required images. It's crucial to work with the correct distance between shots so that the 3D effect is visible from a given distance. The normal lens distance between the images should be around 7cm (eye to eye distance), but when looking at an Alpa XY I had the idea that by using shifts the result could be achieved with smaller movements and higher precision....
