Scroll down to 21May posting for video of the event.

Get out your red/cyan glasses.
You don't have any? Then these photographs will just look blurred to you, with no 3D effect whatsoever. You should go to the following post, where I have posted non-stereoscopic, one-eyed copies of the same photos.

But if you DO have red/cyan glasses, you're in for a rare treat, because 3D/stereoscopic images of steel guitar meetings are rare.

The following images were photographed by me with a Fuji W3 Stereoscopic Digital Camcorder. I have preseneted them here as DuBois Anaglyphs. Why DuBois? Because with colour photographs, parts of the photograph that are in the same red or cyan as the filters in your glasses would only show up in one eye, and cause eyestrain. The DuBois process recognises those colours and adjusts them slightly to prevent that happening.

Don't any of you have red/cyan glasses?

You're living in the past. Within the next 20 years everything will be in 3D.

It's the natural way to go. We were all born with two eyes, and stereoscopic vision is what we were created with.

When photography was invented the assumption was that two photographs would be required to reproduce human vision, and so, 3D photography is as old as "flatties".

Every Victorian library had their Stereos, which consisted of a viewer and dozens of stereoscopic prints.

Some of us are old hippies Alan. The strange part is I can see them fine with just the blue lens. When I look through both it not clear and the colors change. First time I look through my old comic collection in a long time.

Long live Fat Freddy's Cat.

The colours do change when you look at them through coloured lenses, but your eyes usually get used to it and compensate. Those old comics are usually monochrome drawings, and with monochrome photographs anaglyphs work with no problem at all. With colour photographs it's a bit of a compromise, since parts of the photo which are the same blue as the lenses will be blanked out by the cyan lens, and vice-versa. I could display all these photos as stereo pairs, side-by-side, but you would need a stereocope linked to your monitor, and few people have that.
Anaglyphs can be presented with several different combinations of colours, green and yellow being another. The ones provided with old comics are rarely the standard blue and cyan. They're not made for viewing colour pictures. They're for black and white cartoons. Also, people often have the colours on their monitors set slightly different, which wouldn't normally be noticed.

I'm glad you had the initiative to try and view the pictures, though. If you have any other coloured 3D glasses try them out. Of course, the polarised glasses that they use at some movie theatres won't work because they require a polarised monitor and a different format. I could send the photos as .mpo files for viewing on a lenticulated monitor, but the Forum's setup won't allow for posting .mpo images.

Thanks, Alan! 3D is lots of fun, and I never get over the crazy depth illusion it adds to my computer screen.

I would like to hear more Bobby Black if you have any.
A true legend!
Was his old Bigsby guitar a surprise and how did he react?
I just ordered a pair of blue/red 3-D glasses. ha-ha

I'm afraid, unless someone else turns up with recordings, that's all I have. I myself was playing and socialising a lot of the time, which restricted how much I could record.

Sorry, I don't know. I was in a different room when he turned up. You should ask Larry Chung.

Great. I'm hoping that will happen. By posting more and more 3D, here and also in Facebook, I'm hoping that it will spread. Nature blessed us with stereoscopic vision, so it makes no sense the way we display photographs as if we all had one eye shut. The principles of stereoptrics were known before photography, and so people have been taking stereo photos since the advent of photography. I think that within the next twenty years, every movie will be made in 3D. Winking

Had to dust off my old Harold Lloyd glasses. They still work!
I love 3-D!
Thanks Alan!
