Hey Volkan, have you noticed that, in generally (not always) the stereo pictures get a lot more views (at least in recent postings) that the normal photos? Do you think it reflects the number of people that can percieve 3D? or a lot of people think it is a single shot with two diferent objects side by side and decide to have a closer look because it's just odd? I wonder...

Volkan YUKSEL, on June 20, 2007, said:

Vasco, hopefully viewers are finding 3D pictures more exciting than 2D ones :) Take care, Volkan

Vasco Pires, on June 20, 2007, said:

Yes, I think I already understand that, the point that I'm trying to make is: Why? do they see in 3D? if not, why do they like them more? what's the fun in having two almost similar photos side by side? Wha'ts the point? That's what I'm trying to comprehend here. I'm missing something here....

Hi Vasco, I think your first explanation is the right one ("What's this strange kind of shot ? Well, I want to look at this closer !"). But of course I'm not sure and I'd prefer something like "Wow ! 3D is really great !!!" But where is truth ?

Hope my english is not too bad and you and Volkan and Other can understand my meaning ...

Take care,

Olivier

Vasco Pires, on June 21, 2007, said:

Well Olivier I guess so... I'd also prefer people to see the 3D effect rather than a strange shot but... maybe when Forum is up again I'll start some poll to see how many people can percieve them. Your English is better than mine! :)

Regards

Dear Olivier and Vasco, as you know these pictures are not in GE or in popular tabs yet, we never know whether if all will get there. Therefore since they are not so publicly available for random visitors, current viewers must already know us trough some sort of bookmarking or they are finding these pictures from tag search system. My close friend Umit Tuncay indicated to me that every time I upload pictures, he gets a message. I hope this helps...

I think our 3D post in the forum was really helping people to keep them interested until they could see it for themselves in 3D. And our international team was growing. I miss our days with the forum, but If you folks realized we are ~120degrees apart from each other around the globe. That means us remaining 3 X-3D musketeers, still have coverage for the entire globe :) One for all, all for one :) I am sure Tim and Chip is busy doing tons of 3D too.

Enough for wishful thinking, take care friends, Volkan

Hi Vasco ! I think we'll never agree about our respective capacities in english !!! I'm really sure that yours are better than mine ... The best way for me is french !!! I'm really enjoying your shots (I just saw your black cat in a white sink : what a great idea !!! That's what I don't have! It makes the difference.) Friendly,

Olivier

Vasco Pires, on June 23, 2007, said:

Well I think the secret behind a good shot isn't just about the idea, I guess it's more about luck and opportunity, and of course a little framing. This cat shot was uploaded by me a few weaks ago, it caught the whole bathroom and you barely could see the cat in the thumbnail so it had just a few views. I took it down, cropped, boosted up the contrast a bit and uploaded it again. Anyway you can see it's story here

Hi, Volkan. I've been kind of on a break from 3D for a while, learning how to use my new panorama stitcher. And, though I may be a big fan of 3D, I find myself getting headaches from viewing them. I've got thousands of old stereo pairs, taken over the past few years, but very few of them are worth posting. I'll be taking new ones soon though, and I may even try Vasco's idea about 360° moving panoramas.

Volkan, I just posed a 3D picture. Your comment is greatly appreciated.

Really like this picture. Nicely done!

Volkan YUKSEL, on July 2, 2007, said:

Dear Wei and dear friends thanks for your inputs. I am sorry I did not have much time to reply back to all your comments yet. Volkanzilla is about to take new pictures tomorrow for which he is getting ready. As always if he can take nice shots, I will share them with you in couple of days :) Best wishes to you all, Volkan
