Stereo photos with a normal camera

[purifier]

I've just tried it with my Nikon J1, shooting 2 images shifting position by a couple inches and angle by a couple degrees,
the only problem is I won't receive my 3DTV before 6 days so I can't verify the results yet, can you pleas do it for me?
Have I done something wrong and, in that case, do you have suggestions on how to do it right? Thanks!
Ps:I've used Microsoft paint for the "editing" so please don't laugh The desired effect would be to view the flashlight
as it were a few centimeters from the eyes, but considering the empirical measurements I doubt my success

I was just free-viewing, but it looks cool to me.

Maybe the 3D effect is a little too much for such a small/close object, but its OK I guess.

Thanks for the feedback, two more questions: does it give you headache for bad convergence?
Does the 1:78 format restore the original size, stretching back the image?

[cybereality]

The convergence is not so bad, but usually you want to shoot parallel (not toed-in).

If you watch on an HDTV it will stretch the SBS image into the normal 16:9 aspect ratio.

Great, thanks again for the advice, I'll wait for the TV to arrive to make further attempts though

It seems I've nailed it this time, less IOD and no "toeing in"

A little bit of popping on the bayonet equals to a little bit of ghosting, but maybe only on my cheap Samsung TV...

[cybereality]

Those shots are pretty cool actually.

Those last 3 all look good to me!

[purifier]

Thanks, it seems I was pushing the camera too far before, now I only move it a couple centimeters between the shots

Apparently I'm having issues with this one, the TV gives me strange blinking little lines when I activate 3D on it,
am I the only one experiencing it?
