It is fun to play around with making stereo images (there are
several on my web page...) - and it can be as easy as shooting
two photos with one camera with reasonable care taken to frame
the background nearly the same way in the two photos ('course,
it helps if nothing much moves between exposures - but stereo
landscape and street scenes, and interiors, etc. can be
successfully taken with almost any camera). It is also fun to
experiment with changing the distance between the camera
positions when taking stereo images - some rather extreme
stereo effects can be achieved! ;-) One can also place two
cameras on a bar (they can be different, so long as the lens
coverage is very nearly the same), for shooting action (both
methods were used for making the stereo images on my web page).
