Lotus Eclair / 56 / 198x

50x18

Inherited from my pops. Bought new in the 80's. First memories were riding around in the back-baby seat.

A good friend converted it to SS for Baltimore riding. I'll probably throw some fenders and a basket on it for grocery runs in Buffalo when seminars begin.

Very original! I knew I'd kept these 3D glasses for a reason! Nice job and never mind the buzz killer comment! I think it's great that this was your dad's bike and that you road in the baby seat... most of today's bikes could never last that long. That bike is a keeper! Great bike and very original picture!

Do you need a special software to do this... is it complicated? You've really got me curious about this!

You can do it with any basic photo editing software. It would be much easier/convenient to do it with a digital camera. Here's the basic steps:

Take one picture of a scene with some depth (this is the "left eye perspective") Move the camera a few inches to the right and take the same picture ("right eye perspective"). Upload to PhotoShop, make one layer red, the other blue, and align the images appropriately.

Here's a link that explains it better: http://www.scec.org/geowall/makeanaglyph.html

3d drops

Submitted by toroadie on 03/16/2010.

I can really see the 3d effect on the drops. Did you originally take two photos or one and applied some magic processing?

Yeah it was 2 photos.

This example doesn't really work that well with the effect, as was pointed out. You can do it by taking one photo, then moving the camera over a few inches and take the same shot. It was on film, and I had to develop and print and scan the shit, so that made it harder.

I have a picture of my dog in the same style, but this isn't Dogspace, so I'll save it.

why'd you have to ruin my

Submitted by LotusSutra on 03/16/2010.

why'd you have to ruin my fun?

it's 3D if you look at the spokes...

anyway, the point was: I only have THIS picture of the bike in the old setup, so live with it until I've got the new pics.
