How to give a 3D effect to a photo that was not planned for that? The anaglyph method allows to rediscover the third dimension. Topics :

Put your red and cyan 3D glasses on to see the photos in this 3D gallery!

The photos here were not taken in 3D: by reworking them adequately, I (re)created the illusion of depth.

[ EDIT - the method used here often gives results with bad, headache-inducing 3D, my skills have evolved since I found other ways to obtain real anaglyphic effects ]

The lens distortion is accented by the 3D effect of the foreground (feet & grass)

Most of the 3D films these last years are, like here, reworked in "fake 3D", in post-production.
