macro 3d video

Very nice, the macro looks great. I had a little trouble keeping the cross eye since I always do L/R parallel. I'm glad it wasn't too long. I might try and download it to my phone and use a stereo viewer. Keep up the good work.

How do you manage to see 3D materials in parallel on large screens, without auxiliary equipment?

Nice work and very good results! 👏

I use the zoom feature to change the size of the images on my computer screen and then just look at them without a viewer. I had to do that to see his macro shot of the flowers and the insects. If I want to try and use a viewer, I would have to copy the video and try using software to rearrange the images.

I finally did put together a stereo GoPro system using two 3+Black cameras and it works well, but I'm want to try different lenses (5.4mm) to get a narrower view. The stock lenses are just to wide. They are each $100 so I'm taking my time with some other projects that need my money right now!

I have also been experimenting with shooting 35mm color negative film in my 1950 Stereo Rever, copying them with my Canon digital SLR and converting them to positives. It's a lot of work and I'm not always pleased with the results, but I work on the project when I have the time and ambition.  I even got a C-41 kit so I can develop my own film.  I still have a darkroom but converted the enlarger to work as a copy stand.

The bigger the 3D images, the better. But you make them very small to see them in parallel.

In cross-eyes mode they can be enlarged at any size and can be viewed without additional hardware.

I can enlarge the parallel view somewhat since my eyes can turn outward a little but cross eyed strains my eyes much more and after a very short time it's uncomfortable. To do parallel all I have to do is relax my eyes and I can do it easily for long periods. I have found that even using my Owl viewer or my old Underwood 1901viewer, if I make my images fill the print card (3.3 inch images on a 7x3.5 inches stereo card) they start to get uncomfortably large and look better at 3.0 inches.  I have also found that I can view larger images in the computer screen without a viewer by just moving further from the screen.

I call that a solid success!
