Hi there Pam, I am wondering if one could achieve the same result by
simply copying a pic & pasting the two images on a page eh?
Cheers Wendy

I trick I tried that worked fairly well was to take one photo with my
weight
on my left foot then take the second with my weight shifted to my right
foot.

How did you take the photo?


It's actually two photos. I shot the first one, then moved the camera a
couple of inches and shot the second one.


Aha, that's what I thought you did. ;-) Tricky. Well done!

Some years ago there was an article in a photo mag about making a tripod
gizmo to make this sideways movement easy and accurate. A "fat T" shaped
flat bar, about 1/8" thick, with the standard threaded hole in the
(short) leg of the T, plus a slot about 3" long (or longer) in the T-bar
for a thumbscrew to pass through into the camera's tripod mount. Mount
the bar on the tripod, then the camera at one end of the T. take the pic,
loosen the thumbscrew, and slide the camera over, and etc. It was up to
you to line up the camera with the bar each time. This is one of those
projects I'm going to make Real Soon Now. ;-)

NB that human eye spacing is about 2" to 2.5". This is therefore the
minimum spacing of the two pictures for a good stereo effect, but the
greater the spacing, the stronger the stereo effect.

You can also get a good stereo effect by taping two single-use cameras
together side by side, the lenses end up being about 3" apart.
