Our photography is not truly three dimensional—all the magic still happens in
two dimensions. The most accurate term for what we do is Stereoscopic. When
properly rendered, stereoscopic images give the strong appearance of being
three dimensional.
When you look at an object, you are simultaneously seeing two images of that
object—one through each eye. Because your eyes are a slight distance apart, the
picture each eye sees is from a slightly different perspective. To demonstrate
this, hold up a small object in front of you at arm’s length. Close one eye and
focus on the object. Then switch eyes. The object will appear to have shifted
slightly.
Our photographic process works the same way. We simultaneously provide your
eyes with two images, which tricks your brain into seeing the image in three
dimensions.
Two ways to achieve this affect are anaglyphs and stereo pairs.
An anaglyph is created by changing certain color values on each of the two stereo
pictures, and then combining the pictures in a certain way. When viewed through
special glasses, each eye is presented with certain information that tricks the
brain into seeing the image in three dimensions.
The type of stereo pair we create consists of two photographs mounted side by
side. To achieve the stereo effect, you look at the line between the two pictures
and gently cross your eyes until a third picture appears between them. This third
picture is the stereo (3D) combination of the two original pictures.
At Plano 3d Photography, we strongly prefer the anaglyph method. We find that
cross-eyed viewing has a serious drawback: To prevent eye strain, cross-eyed
viewing should not be performed for long periods of time. With anaglyph viewing,
the glasses do all the work for you, and we’ve had great success in retaining
sharp, vibrant colors in the finished photograph.
