Joshua Tree 3D

Joshua Tree in 3DOn our first full day of vacation, we drove from our campground in Twentynine Palms, CA, through Joshua Tree National Park. The landscape within the park is quite unusual. At one point, we came upon a campground set in an area where great boulders were strewn about. I thought that it would make a nice stereo image, so I snapped a pair and merged them into this image. Click to enlarge.

You will need red/cyan or red/blue 3D glasses to see the stereo effect. If you do not have the 3D glasses, you can look at the 2D version.

Cruiser in 3D

3D CruiserThis is our cruiser all hooked up in the RV campground on Christmas Eve, in Wickenberg, Arizona. We were tied down at a place called “Horsepitality,” where RVs and horse trailers could camp overnight. After all the hookups were in place, I decided to snap an image pair that could be merged later into a 3D image. This is the result.

The cruiser, itself, is a 24 foot long class B motorhome on a Ford van chassis. The interior, while certainly not spacious, had all the comforts we needed for our winter cruise. In fact, after the sun went down, we had showers off and on all night – fortunately, they seemed to subside whenever Bear, our canine companion, had to head for the dogwalk.

As usual, you can click the image to see it full-sized in the viewer, and for those who do not have the requisite 3D glasses, you can click here to see the 2D version.

Blackhawk Tail Rotor in 3D

Actually, it’s a “Fire Hawk” that belongs to the LA County Fire Department. This was on display along with a lot of fire equipment a couple of weekends ago. I snapped a pair of images to get the stereo effect.

The Gazebo at Malaga Cove in 3D

gazebo-3d.pngGrab your 3D glasses and check out this stereoscopic view of the Gazebo at Malaga Cove, Palos Verdes Estates, California. This photo was taken at Roessler Point, a scenic overlook of the spectacular so-called “Queen’s Necklace” vista of the lower Santa Monica Bay.

We come here occasionally for the photo-ops when the smoky skies of the South Bay give way to the azure ones.

Journey to the Center of the Earth – 3D

3d-nuts.jpgOne of the things we love to do in the evenings, is to watch a DVD on the flat screen TV. Verna has an extensive DVD collection with an eclectic assortment of titles in all genres. We are constantly adding to the collection, as well as retiring DVDs that we will probably never watch again – we donate them to charity.

Last week, she acquired “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” an action/adventure movie that included a copy in 3D – complete with the nerdy colored glasses. We first watched the movie in standard format; as we watched, it became clear that the producers were obviously accentuating some of the scenes for 3D. After numerous such scenes we resolved to watch the movie again – this time in 3D. It was quite spectacular, actually. Lots of stuff came flying out at us – from birds to giant dandelion seed pods and from flying fish to T-Rex dinosaur slobber (really). It was a lot of fun.

Hopi House 3D Image

hopi-house.jpgI’m still going through some of the images from our summer vacation. I took a number of panoramas and ‘pairs’ to be merged into 3D anaglyph red-cyan pictures. I have shown a number of panoramas but this is the first summer vacation 3D picture to get posted.

This is the result of a pair I took of the ‘Hopi House,’ one of the five Mary Jane Colter buildings at Grand Canyon. The Hopi House is located at Grand Canyon Village near the famous Bright Angel (another Colter building) and the El Tovar Lodges. Click for the larger ‘PNG’ (better resolution) image.

You will need 3D glasses to view the image and the PNG above. If you don’t have the 3D glasses handy, you can see the 2D version here.
