Lentic­u­lar pho­tographs can be viewed the same way as ordi­nary pho­tos, but they show the added dimen­sion of depth. No stere­o­scope or 3D glass­es are required for view­ing. This ease of view­ing is the biggest ben­e­fit of the lentic­u­lar print. By adding more than two view­points, the prints are eas­i­ly viewed from a vari­ety of posi­tions and angles.

You may or may not know that adding a small hand­held mir­ror to your stereo arse­nal can help you over­come many of the com­mon ‘cha-cha’ prob­lems. With the mir­ror reflect­ing half of the camera’s view, you can cap­ture an entire stere­opair in a sin­gle shot, elim­i­nat­ing tim­ing-relat­ed issues. Read a step-by-step guide here.

If you are already tak­ing stereo pic­tures, well done! How­ev­er, if you desire to broad­en your hori­zons by cap­tur­ing more chal­leng­ing images, for exam­ple freez­ing motion, or cre­at­ing dra­mat­ic land­scapes, then a twin cam­era set up may be the answer.

This arti­cle describes a sim­pli­fied approach to macro stere­os, which should serve as a start­ing point for fur­ther exper­i­men­ta­tion with this medium.

Remov­ing the back­ground of flo­ral pho­tog­ra­phy will show­case the intri­cate beau­ty of even the sim­plest of flow­ers. Here you can read how to do it.
