Attempted to creat a cross-view image of a basket of apples. It's not perfect, but it turned out alright!

A way to see 3D images without special screens or glasses. Just cross your eyes to overlap the two images.

I'm afraid I don't know what any of that means!! I free handed this with a single camera, I'd that helps answer any of your questions!
IPD = inter pupillary distance. So the distance between the left picture and right picture. Generally try to keep this about 2 - 2.25 inchs. Though there are reasons to have it be difference.
A few other terms that can be useful.
Cha Cha: what you did. Using a single camera to take the two pictures one after the other.
Tow in: change the angel of each shot to converge on the subject. similar to how the eyes do in humans.
Parallel shot: both shots have the same camera orientation just different positions. (Imo the better method. It prevents camara distortion miss match.
Either way it's a fun picture.
Thanks for sharing the terminology! I believe I "towed in" on this particular image. I'll have to try the parallel shot method next time.
