Re: [OM] 3D (What worked, what didn't)

[Frank van Lindert]

It all depends on the subject and the speed of its movements, doesn't
it? Perfect stereo stills can be made with one camera, by merely
shifting its position a little bit. And I have made nice "stereos"
from a flying airplane, just by quickly pressing the shutter twice. 
Of course the image is different from what the human eye would have
seen; it looks like the view of a giant with two very distant eyes.
Which makes it even more spectacular: usually the view from a plane
hasn't much stereo to offer...
