Incredible 3D Stereoscopic Civil War Photos

Stereoscopic images basically involve taking 2 or more static images, from slightly different angles, to create a 3D effect that tricks the eye into noticing the depth of field, angles and perspective of the image. Thus, it’s possible to take a flat image and create 3D depth to it. When applied to older photographs, it’s an amazing technique, because it brings life to history. Take for example, these Civil War photographs that use a stereoscopic effect!

This is an amazing effect ... although I get a bit dizzy after looking at the photos for too long.

If I wasn’t a gamer, that would destroy my brain temporarily.

Amazing!

Thank you for posting that.

So, one could take an old stereoscopic photo card and scan each image then create an animated gif in Photoshop that tweens the two images as a loops and voila?

Just think CWII will be brought to you via youtube...

[DogByte6RER]

Yeah ... I think if the scans are done at two slightly different angles, it could work. The two images are then created into a .gif image.

Here is some more info on Wiki (called wiggle stereoscopy) ...

Amazing is right. I used to have a stereo camera. May have to try this effect with the photos I took.

Okay about stereos optic effect. But did anyone notice in the third pic, that the army set up a tent basically in FRONT of a canon? WTF?

I remember the old Stereoscopes like this. Played with my grandmother's all the time. A better system that doesn't vibrate.

Now that you mention it, I went back and looked at that.
They didn’t follow the rules,,,”always treat a firearm as if it is loaded”,”never point your weapon at something you don’t want to destroy or kill”, etc....

[Lancey Howard]

THAT is awesome stuff right there!

Very cool effect. Thanks for posting.

“never point your weapon at something you don’t want to destroy or kill”

Most likely the tent was unused except to disguise the emplacement. As well as hitching post for horses.
