Nice shots and I like really the clouds.

From the lack of people, I assume that you took these when the two lions that escaped from the zoo were prowling around. Pity you didn't manage to get a shot of them

The 55-300mm should be OK handheld.

Stereo photography was very popular in Victorian times.

I've still got a Stitz beamsplitter from the 70's similar
to the Pentax one except the mirrors are adjustable so
it works with any lens, up to 300mm I think. I've also
got a Novoflex focusing rack that's marked on the side
for stereo. i.e. you use it sideways and take 2 shots
a specific distance apart. Any focusing rack would do,
but you would have to use a ruler for the distance.

Quite a lot of people are able to look at normal stereo photo
pairs and see in stereo without a viewer. The viewer just tricks
the eye a bit better.

3D films came out years ago, but they used two
projectors in sync. They had problems when one film
snapped and had to be spliced back causing the 3D
to go out of sync.

The Nimslo 3D Camera from the 1980's produced prints that didn't
need a viewer.

Glad to see that you eventually got it to work. The latest software should work better than the stuff supplied with the card. I actually installed it before I received the card.

Much better than tripping up over a USB lead all the time

The wildflower B&W still has colour in it.

I only use B&W when I'm after the old Kodak 126 Instamatic look
