I'm experimenting with stereo pinhole images. This is a statue at the Anne Frank Memorial Garden here in Boise. If you can cross your eyes until you see 3 images and then focus on the middle image you can see the stereo "3-D" effect.
I used to do this (cross the eyes with no viewer) with stereo images in biochemistry textbooks. It hurts your eyes after a while but works well! This image is very cool and really does look very 3-dimensional! How far did you move the camera between exposures? It looks like a little more than normal eye-to-eye distance?
Wayne- I need to work on a viewer for these, something like the old stereo card viewers from the turn of the last century. I'm going to have to do some more research.
Hal9000- I'm using a converted Polaroid Passport camera for this experiment, so there is no movement. The pinholes are set into where the lenses were- 2" apart.
Ole- Here's a link to a reversed version of this:

I prefer the look-through version rather than this close focus version. Focusing closer hurts my eyes - like so many old farts over 45, my close-up vision is gone...
You can still get the old-time viewers on the auction site.
