3D Photographs 3-D Photography

So far, this self-indulgent section has offered you:

a glimpse of the Galapagos Islands, based on 6 months
of e-mails from the first half of 2001, which I sent while I was working as a volunteer at the Charles Darwin Research Station at Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz, Galapagos.

an account of a journey in search of photos for this site. In September 1999, I set out to photograph a big slice of the missing UK windows and my route took me through
Cambridgeshire, the home counties, the West, Wales,
the North-West, the Midlands and back home to East Anglia.

Some of my own glass (definitely amateur, though)

Now for something rather different: 3-D photographs

Below you will find a series of pairs of photos. At first glance, they may appear identical, but - viewed correctly - they jump out towards you in three dimensions.

If you know how to view "Magic Pictures", the technique is similar. If you want guidance, follow this link and read about the "cross-eyed" method. Don't try their Mars lunar lander pictures until you are really proficient but come back here and try the ones below!

For those still learning, concentrate on a prominent feature in the two halves of the picture and, crossing your eyes, try to get the two innermost images to overlap. A finger held up beyond the tip of your nose can help to cross the eyes and get the images moving towards merging: good luck!
