It took me a while to learn and perfect the technique required for landscape 3d’s. Apart from the left and right photos having to be further apart the focal point for each picture has to be central and the same to get the best results. The distance between the two photos can vary. In this case I took ten large paces between shots. As this was my first successful landscape it remains a favourite.

Cucklington.

Photo taken 24th March 2008.

I spotted this door with a hole in it as we first set out around the village. It caught my attention again as we walked up the track to the church.  I thought it would be good 3d but felt an empty hole would be rather boring. After finishing at the church we walked back to the car and I started to pack the camera gear away, ready to go to the next location. It was then my wife spotted the dog sticking his head out of the hole in the door. She alerted me to what was going on so out came the cameras again and I sat by the hole waiting for the dog to show again. After about five minutes he appeared again and I grabbed my shot. This is the result.

This is at my workplace. We sometimes get the occasional steam loco in for some work and repairs. This is the ‘Union of South Africa’ and it was parked up outside of the workshop building up steam before it attempted to head out onto the mainline. I only had one camera at this time so I wasn’t sure if the picture would work in 3d. As you can see it did. I love the way the steam comes out in 3d.

I usually find that most churches I visit are open for viewing but sometimes they are locked. This was one of the locked ones and had a notice as to the location of the key-holder should a view be required. Due to restraints of time I don’t usually bother but this time I did. I’m more than happy with the result.

Marston House.

Photo taken 20th April 2003.

This is one of my earliest anaglyphs and I still think one of my best. Marston House now belongs to Aggregate Industries but used to belong to Foster Yeoman. After getting permission from the then owner, Mrs Yeoman, I took pictures of the house interior and the decorative gardens. It was a final thought to head into the woods which hide the house from the main highway and this is the result. I love the light and the 3d effect is very strong.

Another early anaglyph and a bit of an experiment at the time. I wasn’t really sure at this point if something as intricate as this would work or be interesting for 3d. Happily it worked out really well and, like the Marston House picture above, I consider this one of my best.

Mells.

Photo taken 26th February 2006.

This picture was one of my early attempts with using two cameras. It was a little breezy at the time and so getting the timing right on each camera was important. After a few failed attempts I managed to get this one spot on. I find the result very rewarding and enjoyable.

Shepton Mallet.

Photo taken 27th April 2003.

This is believed to be a member of the Mallet family from where Shepton obtained its suffix. This effigy is in the parish church of St Peter and St Paul and is one of my earliest anaglyphs. The church holds a special appeal to me as this is where I spent a good amount of my childhood, spending time with my Grandfather who was a verger there. Although he passed away when I was only 8 years old he has had a huge influence on how I live my life ever since.

Tarr Steps.

Photo taken 7th August 2007.

This picture has a whole side story to it that involves keys locked in car, and good B&B and a helpful RAC man. Aside from that I really enjoy the 3d effect on this picture. The way the overhanging branches lead your eye to the infant on the ancient stone bridge I find very pleasing and rewarding. Something I feel wouldn’t be the same in 2d.
