Thanks Ray and everyone that commented on my work.

Ray,

The original heron image was captured at my home May, 2010 with my Pentax K10 DSLR as a 2D image.  I was standing on my pier observing the heron walking and fishing under my neighbor's pier.  I took a picture of him under the pier and again when he flew off.  (A couple of my closest heron captures with a camera).

I processed an OOF version as well as the normal 2D version of the heron flying...

Here is also the 2D capture of the heron walking/fishing under my neighbor's pier...

When I digitally added them to this new composition, I did a careful selection of each, then cut and pasted in the new image.  I flipped the standing heron horizontally and resized it.  I thought that would be better for how I placed him in the new composition.   I also included some of the standing he ron's leg reflections and later lightened and removed some to fit the new composition.  I also tried to bring out the heron a bit more since it didn't seem to stand out well.  I resized the flying heron but kept the same orientation.

I created the X-Version (which I normally do before creating the anaglyph version) without the heron's added to the image, saved it as TIF, and re-opened it in Photoshop.  When I pasted each heron, it automatically created a new layer for the paste.  To get the heron on both the L & R chips, I duplicated the layer and while holding the shift key down, dragged the layer copy of the bird from the paste on the left chip to the right chip while viewing cross-eyed to observe for the proper depth perception. I did the same procedure for the other bird layer.

Note:  Holding the shift key down while dragging prevents the laye r from moving vertically which keeps the synchronization in check.

When everything looked ok, I saved it as a TIF from Photoshop and then re-opened again in SPM.  I was then able to do a 2D-3D conversion of the birds within SPM, using the clone tool.

Unfortunately, there was mis-sync within the overhanging limb so I had to try and clone the whole branch and leaves.  I didn't try to be perfect.  The cloning effort of the leaves probably shows a bit more in the X-Version.

Cheers,

Brian

...A real "eye-catcher", Brian. Great work! I am wondering how the flying heron was photographed. W1??? ...Twin cameras???

An image of a marsh with a couple of Great Blue Herons. The image is framed at the top by an overhanging tree limb.

The heron was captured at a different time and place, standing and flying but added here for interest, composition, and stereo relief.

The sanctuary is located at Downs Park in Pasadena, Maryland.
