Mine was a shot of my wife behind some low hanging tree limbs - taken
with a single camera shifted between shots. There was a breeze so many
leaves/shadows/etc moved between shots, but even so - I was thrilled
that I had recorded something in 3D. (Felt like I had "invented it or
something...)

I loved all 150 or so of the images I took in the first 6 months I was
shooting 3D - all "weight-shift" single camera images. I can hardly
stand to look at them now for the multitude of technical problems, and
yet, I cherish them all and will keep them. =)
