3-D Bottles
Along with collecting bottles, I have an interest in old stereoviews.
It was only a matter of time before the two merged. What you see on
this page is the beginning of this merger. As time goes by, I hope to improve
my abilities in this area. Just thought I would share the beginnings. If you
like the results I will add more. All bottles pictured are from my personal collection.
It takes a bit of practice to be able to view these, but once you get used to it the
process becomes quite easy. When looking at the pictures, try to relax your eyes and look past the sceen
slightly. Much the same way you would when looking at the 3d computer generated pictures
that are popular now. At the start it may help to place a hand upright between your eyes. This
helps force each eye to look at a separate picture. The result is 3D. Not a new thing, stereoscopes
have been around a long time. If at first you can't see a 3D picture, keep trying, you will learn the
method eventually. I should mention that the 3D picture will appear as a third picture between the two that
you first see. Enjoy, it's a fun way of looking at things. Dan
