Feasting flies
In my back garden last week. Whatever it was these flies appreciated it.
Anaglyph so red/cyan glasses needed to view in 3D.

Fujifilm W3 3D camera, Cyclopital macro attachment, Marumi DHG Achromat
Digital High Grade +5 macro lens
Sigma flash
ISO 100
1000 sec, f9

Processed in StereoPhotoMaker

W3 cameras are at a great price now if any one is interested.

Thanks Keith. :wavey: I'm glad you've still got the glasses. I spend most of my photographic time in 3D land now, but seeing the lack of activity on UKNP I felt I had to post something to help keep it ticking over and I hope stimulate at least a modicum of interest. :eek: :cool:

Good to see you posting again david.
Like you I,ve been doing 3D quite a lot.Mainly Little owls
I,ll post one for you. Found a new way of doing it with oput taking the camera off the ball head.
Kids at the shows I do love 'em ! I think they just like looking daft in the glasses.
Nice shot if you like flies ! :biggrin:
Cheers

Not the nicest of subjects, but 3D definitely adds something to the overall effect. Good to see you posting again.

Thanks David. :wavey: I don't think these flies would agree with you about the subject, though David. :biggrin: :eek: Whatever it was it certainly attracted the flies. You're right about the extra dimension adding to the overall effect. That is why I specialise in 3D now; 2D is, er, so two-dimensional and flat, IMO :rolleyes:

Get the much underrated Fujifilm W3 3D camera, which is now at a bargain price, and give it a go. :cool:
