tricking your brain



I had some free time on my hands so i decided to mess around with the third dimension.

For this first image you have to cross your eyes for the image to become 3-D.make sure your eyes are horizontal, other wise this won't work. A good trick, if you are having trouble focusing, is to tough your finger to you screen right in the middle where the two images meet, then slowly draw your finger straight towards you nose. behind you finger as you do this you should see the two images becoming one, once this happens just move your finger and your eyes should automatically focus.

These were just two separate photos taken approximately 2 inches apart. I happened to have a pair of red and blue 3-D glasses, so i combined these two images and with the wonder of photoshop i created an Anaglyph 3d image. if any of you have the red and blue glasses your should try it out



the main drawback with this version is the loss of colors. Next i tried an Anaglyph photo of a larger object, so I made a picture of my ceiling.

Then i simply did some more 3-D photos of varying style.

These photos differ in their focal points




























This image is just the same image twice with the 3-D effect. With glasses it still looks somewhat 3-D, but in a very flat sense.

follow the clear leader (because it keeps rolling away)



lame puns aside, I decided to attempt a sort of tie-dye effect with the clear leader. I initially used yellow, red and orange sharpies to do the initial dying, but I didn't take photos of that. once that set for a bit I tried Blue and Green,
