3D amusement park pictures. What else can I say? Before you write the idea off, give them a chance. They're pretty cool and it takes minimal effort to enjoy them. Here's what you need to know:
GLASSES
You need a pair of red/cyan anaglyph glasses to view the photos crorrectly. You just might have a pair of these lying around. If not, you can score a pair for the price of a postage stamp. Just visit rainbowsymphony.com and follow the instructions. Just be sure to request a pair of red/cyan anaglyph glasses.
Also note that there are several kinds of 3D glasses in use. You might have a pair with green lenses or a red/blue pair. Those will not give results with these photos.
THE PHOTOS
Now that you have a pair of glasses and you're wearing them with the red lens over the left eye (you are, aren't you?), you're ready to check out the photos.
Each photo is offered in two sizes and two color options. This pretty much ensures enough choice for everyone to enjoy the photos is a way that works best for them. Let me explain:
Sizes - each photo is available in two sizes, standard and large. The standard photos are sized like the photos in the mian gallery. The large photos are approximately 50% larger. I find that the larger photos offer more depth to the 3D experience, but might not fit entirely on your screen without having to scroll to see it all. This is just a matter of preference. Some visitors might be ok with scrolling, some might prefer the standard photo size - whatever works for you.
Colors - each photo is available in two color options as well, full color and black & white. I did this because looking at full color photos with the 3D effect added can make your eyes go goofy. I've found that 3D photos in black & white don't cause that 'goofiness' to happen. Based on what I've seen it seems to vary from person to person so I decided to cover both bases here too. Figure out which works best for you.
That's pretty much it. Put on a pair of red/cyan 3D glasses and dig in. These have an added dimension (pun intended) that really gives something beyond regular photos. The effect is a lot like playing with a View-Master (you remember those, right?)
At any rate, enjoy! This section will be updated as I get new photos.
