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.
