Moving right along!

Does anyone still make the 3D cameras (and required film) that produces this sort of picture? Not the wiggling part--that is really annoying. But just the 3D image. Because seriously...want.

After Monday's baked chicken fiasco, I'm left wondering if these home rotisserie ovens really work. Anyone know?

I had time to eat breakfast and measure my waist afterward this morning. I went from 28.25 inches to 29.5 after eating a half a cup of an avocado/banana/coconut mixture post-workout (I know--mckitterick didn't like it, either). Not as bad as the three to four inches I'd puff up post-meal before going primal/paleo, but an inch-and-then-some is more than should be happening after such a small meal. I'm going to try it again Saturday with a protein-and-fat-heavy breakfast to see if there's any difference.

A week from today I get my second skinfold test! I'm excited to see how my numbers changed from July. My August test got canceled due to a scheduling conflict on the part of the tester, so it'll have been two months! I should hope to see major changes.

I want some sort of style to my hair. It's long enough to style now, and I'm tired of this all-one-length business. So, a poll!

To anyone (edit: To anyone except stuology) who marks the third option: I accept cash, check, or Paypal.

Unfortunately, the moving of that image that you're linking to is what is creating the illusion of the 3D effect.

You can create stereoscopic 3D images with a regular camera and a little patience. You can also create a 3D effect that almost makes a scene look like a miniature with what is called a tilt-shift lens that does selective focus. Kind of like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/macwisler/3913985773/

Dang.

Didn't there used to be a 3D camera, though? Or am I pulling that memory from an alternate universe...

Edit: Also! Lady, you are not even employed! You are not paying for my haircut!!!!

Well, I have shears, but dude, you do not want me to cut your hair. And I know how badly I'd cut my own hair. I just deal with my hair until I can afford to pay someone that knows what they are doing and can see the back of my head without an elaborate set up of mirrors.

There are 3D cameras, such as the ginormous ones that shoot for IMAX, but those are huge. And the ones that shot your tv shows and movies that require special glasses.

The one that roya linked to just does in one camera a lot more easily what you can do with any camera, patience and photoshop. The only deal with the Fuji camera is that you will need a special display to see it the 3D. You won't be able to just upload it to Flickr for me to see the 3D goodness with my laptop. Fuji is using the same techniques that the new non-glasses 3D tvs use--creating a barrier for light so that two different type of light or images are seen by the right and left eye, as opposed to a 2D image where the same light and image are being seen by both eyes.

All 3D images are created by tricking your brain. I'm sure you can get, and have been able to get, cameras that help you perform all the brain tricks with minimal effort, whether you need special glasses or not. I'd have to Google to find out more about them though.

Gracious. It all sounds like a lot more work than I care to invest. I'll leave the fancy photography to you, I think.

Aren't most 3D-like images (such as this one) simply compilation shots from several cameras, slightly spaced apart? As with The Matrix?

You only need two for the simple stereoscopic 3D shot, which is why you can do it with your own camera. You don't even need two cameras to make a still 3D. The key would be taking both shots at the same angle, just slightly moving the camera horizontally. A tripod, some tape and the knowledge to use manual settings on your camera so that the exposure and white balance are exactly the same will do the trick.

The Fuji makes it easy by having two lenses and two sensors, so the same photo is taken spaced just slightly apart with the same exposure and white balance since both photos are being taken at the exact same time.

The above could be made with a few cameras taking the shot at the same time, but you have to make it into an animated gif to get the 3D effect.

You could probably do an anaglyphic 3D shot with just one shot and Photoshop.

I've seen instructions and a bracket for doing simple 3D shots with two cheapo Kodak zi8 cameras - it can also be used for video.
