My submission to the "I Challenge You" er, challenge... thing. My task was "to photograph a forest scene in such a way that the trees appear taller and larger than life", assigned to me by JenFruzz .

I'm not sure I quite met the "forest scene" part of that task, but I hope I at least sort of managed the "larger than life" bit. The first time I pulled off a stereoscopic image it was entirely by accident (burst shots from a moving vehicle can actually get some surprisingly good stuff sometimes), and since then I've been playing around with doing it on purpose.

I still need practice with it.

Lots and lots of practice, just with photography in general. Especially now that I've got a Canon 6D, which is a hell of an upgrade from my little Sony Cyber-shot point-and-shoot, and I'm currently busily clawing my way up the learning curve, mostly through the tried-and-true method of "I wonder what happens when I do *this*."

So yes, stereoscopic image, like those Magic Eye patterns, but much easier to figure out. Cross your eyes to get the 3D effect.

People having trouble making it work can go here for an explanation/eye target assistance →
People who can't/don't want to see it 3D can either cover half their screen or look at a single image here →
