My C5 in 3D
I decided to experiment with some simple 3D photography after my coworker showed me some cool 3D pictures... so here is one of my C5. You just need the 'ole red and blue glasses. I have the color version, but the torch red gets washed out , so I posted the B&W version.
The cool thing is you end up with two similar photos in 2D that you can keep along with the 3D version.

That's cool!
I used a red and a blue drinking glass over each eyes!
I wonder what it'll look like if I drink what's in each glass

I just bought my 5 year old son the New "Shark Boy and Lava Girl" DVD. It came with the 3D glasses, but your picture still didn't look quite right to me, but it may be my laptop screen. Its almost like the 2 colors are too far apart, but props for trying.

Shouldn't glasses be issued with this type of post...

Oh Boy... I don't think I can afford to issue 3D glasses to the Forum .
It isn't perfect, but it was a fun experiment. It works well for stills (because you have to take two pictures). You take the two images 2 inches apart by moving the camera to the right in a straight line (no arching). That mimmicks your eyes. Then I found this free software (3D Combine ???) and it allowed me to convert the two images to the nice blurr-o-vision for the red and blue glasses).
Here is the original "right eye" pic

Cool idea. Would like to see it but don't have access to any glasses atm.
Just some random thoughts on the subject...
Instead of taking two separate images, wouldn't it be easier to just take one photo, then using some sort of graphic editing software (i.e. PhotoShop), copy the first image and overlay it with the copy? That way you get two exact images where everything that's in the first is in the second (I noticed the guy cutting the grass is only in one image). Not only would you end up with two identical images you can also adjust the overlay to be the exact distance it needs to be from the first image to remove any blurriness before saving the final to your hard drive.

This thread is kind of drifting into "off topic", and I appologize; I figured the C5 group would appreciate a 3D C5 as much as I do!

It is a software issue. My co-worker manually overlaps the two photos and selects a "focal point" (like the front of the C5). That location has the colors "aligned". As you get closer / further away, the spread between red and blue increases.
It is much more labor intensive than using the free software, but the results are much more impressive too.
