Macro Photography

just trying some 3D macro photo... (click the image for bigger version)



How to do it

• Sit square in front of your monitor, with the image directly in front of you, at about arm’s length
• Sitting further back makes it easier - you don’t need to cross your eyes as much - but makes the image look smaller
• Make sure you keep your head level horizontally, tilting your head will prevent you from merging the images
• While keeping the stereo pair of images in the centre of your vision, slowly cross your eyes
• The stereo pair will go out of focus and you will seem to see four images, as shown in the animation above
• If you find it hard to cross your eyes, it can help to hold a pen in front of you and look at the tip with the stereo pair in the background
• Gradually cross your eyes more and more - if using a pen to assist, start it close to the monitor and move it towards your nose
• Continue crossing your eyes more, untill the centre two of the four images overlap and you see three blurry images, as in the animation above
• Try and hold the centre image together - it is possible to “lock” it in place and see it as one image
• The “locked” centre image should appear in 3D!
• Now the tricky part, focus - while holding the 3D image in place, relax your eyes - drop the pen from your field of view if you are using it
• If you can keep the 3D image locked and relax your eyes, it should eventually pop into focus, as in the last frame of the animation above

What you are doing here is causing your eyes to look at a space between you and the monitor, but focusing the lenses on the monitor. Our eyes never naturally need to do this, so it can be tricky to do at first.

Why crossed eyes?
When overlapping stereo pairs without special glasses, you can get the 3D effect by crossing your eyes or diverging your eyes. I prefer the crossed eye method. I find it easier to control, and it is possible to view larger 3D images than with the diverging technique.

ok lng ba connect ang reverse ring adaptor sa camera og dugay...i mean need ba xa i.remove if dili na xa gamiton? stil feeling d macro shots...need jud diay og patience....and a tripod ky bug.at ang camera wid battery grip...hehehehehe..wait lng mo mga migs saku mga shots...hehehehehehe

^^ ako man siya e remove bro inig human nako og gamit... a tripod will be a hindrance sa imong pag shoot og macro bro... ok lang siya kung still imo subject but kung moving na, lisod sya...
