This site //www.mission3-d.com/ sells a groovy gadget that sits between your camera and your tripod. You take one picture, slide the camera to the other side of the gadget, and snap again, to make a steroscopic picture. The software that comes with it can "merge" the images into 3D by shifting the red/cyan channels (it comes with colored 3D glasses), but it will also print the two offset images for 3D viewing with the "squinting" technique.
I've tried and failed to take the same picture twice with the camera just a few inches over. I keep getting the distance or the angle wrong. This little gadget really does look kinda fun. There was an article about it in Time magazine a couple months ago, too. //www.time.com/time/gadget/20030806/

I'd experiment wiht hand-held shots. I do all of my stereograms either hand-held or on tripod. Hardest thing hand held is to not rotate camera. I place one corner of the frame on a recognizable point, shoot, move over, reposition corner to the same point, shoot again, the distance you move is not that important, I try to shift about a foot or so.
The red/cyan viewing IMHO does not produce as nice an effect as "cross-eyed viewing", although many folks have trouble viewing stereograms this way. With proctice though it comes pretty easily, and the reward is a truly awesome view.
In short, you really don't need to spend a cent to do great stereograms.

It is sad when you go to their 3D-Gallery and it is empty?
Says still under contruction?
Maybe they haven't figured out how to use it either?
LOL
