Re: over-under

There's the problem. For an over-under camera arrangement to work, you need
to take your photographs at two different times, usually within a second or
two of each other, depending upon the subject. You might try setting one
camera slightly back from the other; since you are using fast-moving
photons, the spacial difference should cause a shift in perspective. (This
is not recommended, however, because you will lose the ortho-seat. John B?)

You could try viewing your prints while lying down, on your side. 

>Should I be using red-blue glasses when I take the pictures?

No. Red and Cyan!!!!!!!

>Should I shift my weight while viewing?

If you could lose about 30 pounds, will you tell me how you did it?

>Do I have the top picture on the bottom?

Do you live in Australia?
