Photographing stereo images for cross eyed viewing is basically no different |
||||||
|
than shooting regular still camera shots. The main difference is that in |
||||||
|
stereo photography you shoot two photographs of the same scene, each one |
. | |||||
|
with a slightly different camera position. |
. | |||||
|
|
|
. | ||||
| First center the image of the object in the | ||||||
| viewfinder so that there is ample empty | ||||||
| space to the right and left of the object(s). | ||||||
| Then move the camera to the left of the | ||||||
| imaginary center line (C/L) a distance | ||||||
| equal to about 2.5 % of the distance from | ||||||
| the camera to the object(s), i.e. (.025 x d). | ||||||
| This is called the left camera position. | ||||||
| Be sure to move the camera along an | ||||||
| imaginary line parallel to the object(s). | ||||||
|
One way to do this is to place a broom stick or other straight edged object |
. | |||||
|
up against the two back legs of the tripod so that you can slide the legs |
. | |||||
|
along it. If you set the shot up okay there should be a narrower margin of |
. | |||||
| . | ||||||
|
empty space to the right of the object(s) and a wider margin of empty space |
||||||
|
to the left of the object when you view the scene in the camera's viewfinder |
||||||
|
or LCD screen. If so take the photo. This is called the left picture. |
||||||
|
. |
||||||
|
Next move the camera back to the center line and then move it about 2.5% |
||||||
|
of "d" to the right of the C/L. This is called the right camera position. If you |
||||||
|
did it right there now should be a narrower margin of empty space to the left |
||||||
|
of the object(s) and a wider margin to the right. If so take the second photo. |
||||||
|
This is called the right picture. Before taking the photos it might be helpful |
||||||
|
to go through a dry run of the camera movements to be sure the object(s) |
||||||
|
are framed properly in the viewfinder or screen in both camera positions. |
