The Flying Dutchman Sailing Ship - cross eye stereo

[BDennis]

Here’s another cross-eye of something on the water. We passed this on day 2 of our Hebridean cruise. Heading up to Ardnmurchan point this passed us going the other way. Not a ghost ship as far as I could tell…

Might have to shrink the image / page a bit for the stereo to work here. I didn’t intentionally take them for cross eyed viewing, the camera was in SH2 burst mode so you get a few shots with slight parallax as the vessels are moving relative to each other, I notice it when I’m flicking through photos and sorting them out in CaptureOne.

I’m not sure if you’re supposed to have a small gap between the 2 joined shots for the stereo 3D effect to work better?


Here’s a single shot for those that can’t do the cross eye

Thanks Harold, I must have got them the wrong way round - I assumed you reversed them? I thought I put the one later in the sequence on the left but maybe that wasn’t the right thing and it depends on the relative speeds of the vessels.

I’ll redo it for my Flickr post…when I’m allowed on my computer again 😂

I can see the first in 3D. Works welll for me. You are getting good at this, Bill...

Yes, I swapped left and right but did not optimise the alignment (I us auto)

I make this error occasionally. I did it with one of my honeysuckle images. It took a few minutes to realise. (I post on 3 websites).
