P3D SI anaglyph

[Peter Abrahams <telscope@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When I first heard about swimsuits in anaglyph, I remembered that flesh
colors in anaglyphs are typically disgusting.  Not so in these images.  It
appears that they avoided most problems, in most images, by making the
model mostly flat against a 3d background & foreground, and by placing the
model's face at the window.  The exceptions, such as 'Kylie, Hirsch $200',
where the seashells are placed at the window, show a flesh coloration that
isn't very appealing.

One interesting image is 'Heidi, Duke $1250.', easily overlooked across
from the Wolverine ad (no page number).  The cylinder of splashed water
around her foot is suspiciously perfect, and the left half does not show
anaglyph colors to the eye -- so where does the depth come from?  Looking
with a 20x magnifier, the printing dots are tiny red & cyan specks, which
somehow reconstruct into a cylinder of water.  This must be computer
generated onto a photo (?).  I can believe that, but no way can I believe a
$1200 swimsuit.

There have been some objections raised to this magazine, but it seems to me
that overall it is a very positive contribution.  An image like 'Daniela,
$110 Gottex' with the flower petals is maybe a little hackneyed but is a
truly outstanding example of 3d.  
I certainly would have rather seen sports action photographs in 3d.  Years
ago I shot a dive meet, from a platform above the divers, and got some
excellent shots of divers in mid air, over the water -- I've always
regretted not having 3d equipment.  Someone mentioned that Klutho did
sports work, is there any 3d to be seen on the web or elsewhere?  And what
about the lead photographer, Kluetmeier?
