I like photography...
WARNING: It’s important to state right up front, that there is a small potential risk to your health with this 3D viewing technique. The risk is very small, but I must cover myself. If you have any known problems with your eye muscles, I recommend that you do not attempt this technique. If you experience any light-headedness, headaches or other symptoms, STOP IMMEDIATELY and rest your eyes. Everyone will likely experience some slight eye fatigue when learning this technique, so it is very important to rest your eyes regularly, and only look at 3D images for short periods of time. Even once you have perfected the technique, do not over-exert your eyes. You have been warned. If you attempt to learn this technique, you agree not to hold me responsible for any ill fortune that befalls you as a result.

How to do it

•When overlapping stereo pairs without special glasses, you can get the 3D effect by crossing your eyes or diverging your eyes. I prefer the crossed eye method. I find it easier to control, and it is possible to view larger 3D images than with the diverging technique.
•Sit square in front of your monitor, with the image directly in front of you, at about arm’s length.
•Sitting further back makes it easier – you don’t need to cross your eyes as much – but makes the image look smaller.
•Make sure you keep your head level horizontally, tilting your head will prevent you from merging the images.
•While keeping the stereo pair of images in the center of your vision, slowly cross your eyes.
•The stereo pair will go out of focus and you will seem to see four images.
•If you find it hard to cross your eyes, it can help to hold a pen in front of you and look at the tip with the stereo pair in the background.
•Gradually cross your eyes more and more – if using a pen to assist, start it close to the monitor and move it towards your nose.
•Continue crossing your eyes more, until the center two of the four images overlap and you see three blurry images.
•Try and hold the center image together – it is possible to “lock” it in place and see it as one image.
•The “locked” center image should appear in 3D!
•Now the tricky part, focus – while holding the 3D image in place, relax your eyes – drop the pen from your field of view if you are using it.
•If you can keep the 3D image locked and relax your eyes, it should eventually pop into focus.

What you are doing here is causing your eyes to look at a space between you and the monitor, but focusing the lenses on the monitor. Our eyes never naturally need to do this, so it can be tricky to do at first.

I will admire your pics but if I want to see it in 3D. I just take mine out and stare at it without any damaging effects to my eyes....LOL
