Neat trick with disposable underwater cameras

[freedivernd]

I'm just back from Cozumel , I've got a little tweeking to do to several pictures I took before I post them but want to mention that I did a little bit of experimenting with several disposable underwater cameras (kodak, good to 50' ones)... I glued the camera's together, did my best to press the shutters at the same time, and son of gun if I didn't get some good 3-D pictures! I'm snowed in here in Fargo so give me a few days and I'll get some posted. It's a little tricky but you'll see the pics in 3-D with your plain old eyes off that plain old computer screen. I was hoping to get one good picture out of 27.. well.. I got maybe 6 pretty good ones, but really, all of them but a few turned out pretty good

Is this going to be one of those visual tricks where if you stare at the picture long enough you see a waterfall. If you haven't seen that picture I can't explain it to you.

Here's a site with some photos that are done the way I am trying to do mine (like I said.. some of mine actually turned out pretty good, I think). If you go their home page you can read all about how to create 3-D pics. It's kinda like those "stare at 'em long enough" pictures.. and like those, some people can get it easily and some really struggle.
(they opened the interstate between Fargo and Grand Forks a half hour ago so I'm soon home to catch up on missed work, pictures, etc.) :

The pic towards the bottom (I assume you know which one I mean) took me a little by surprise at work...yikes. Good thing nobody was at my desk when I scrolled down...LOL!

My brain refuses to combine the images. I hope that means I am firmly grounded in reality.

I can't see it either...I join you in reality.

Here's a link to a few of my pictures.. You have to view them cross-eyed to get the 3D effect. This is Reality, I know it took my wife quite some time to get them to fall into focus but eventually she was able to. and here's one for everyone's viewing who's not going to the link.

Here's another link to several more pics.. and one to view just for fun..(for you who don't go to the link ) try cross-eying it on the red dots until you get one in the middle and then look down at the picture. This is a toughy.

Hmm...I can't trick myself into seeing them 3D. If I try anymore I'll be permanently cross-eyed. LOL! ;D

Don't feel bad Lonnie, I haven't been able t get it to work either. :-[

Maybe you need to have some of that Cozumel Tequilla in ya' to get it to work.
