[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1138253, member: 19463"]A recent question on another section of CT renewed my interest in shooting coins in 3D. Most coins have so little relief that this is not worth the effort but shooting tilted coins can be fun and the stereo effect adds to the effect. One problem with stereo is a lack of consistency of format. I prefer the antique stereoview standard where the left eye image is mounted on the left side of the card but many workers prefer to view cross eyed so the sides need to be reversed. My samples here show three parts. Parallel eyed viewers will want to use the two left images while cross eyed viewers will use the two right images. I would appreciate reply if anyone can view the images using either pair. I still need to work on my rig. These were made sliding the coin sideways between images but the highlights would match better if the coin stayed stationary and the camera moved. The degree of relief is controlled by the amount of shift between shots. I tried to makes these relatively subtle and normal rather than too exaggerated as might be preferred by some. Anyone who can view these is quite welcome to offer an opinion on that question. Some people have an easier time viewing stereo than others and I apologize to those who can not view these images.
