Bri's ''Magic Eye'' pictures

Here are some Magic Eye pictures of Queen, made my Brian May himself. If you are not familiar with Magic Eye pictures, a part from brianmay.com dor you:



This is how I waste my time when there's really so much to be done ... I hide away and work in Photoshop ...

For those of you who are familiar with "Magic eye" pictures, viewing this will not pose a problem. The trick is to view this pair of images from a foot or so away, and look "through" the screen to infinity, allowing the two images to float across each other. Where the two central pictures exactly overlap, you can gently adjust the FOCUS only of your eyes (not the convergence) to fuse the images into a single Three-Dimensional image. This technique is called "Free Viewing" of stereo pairs. The resulting 3-D image looks as if we are a giant with eyes 20 feet apart; it looks like a tiny model, with every detail exaggerated in depth... this has always been a passion for me .... I get a similar thrill from images as from music.... hope you enjoy this.
(P.S. - If "free viewing" doesn't work, and you REALLY want to see this in stereo - you can print out the pair (size about 7 inches across the combined image, and put it in one of those Victorian stereo viewers if you have one lying around ... or make one out of a couple of old spectacle lenses.... if you guys are interested in stereo there's a LOT we can talk about!!! )
Love bri .

So, now you know what Magic Eye pictures are, here are some of them made my dr. May himself.
