3D effect, how do you do it? How does it work?

[Andy Stringer]

I have to say the penguin chicks lost some of their 'pop' after downsizing. Sorry if it wasn't the best illustration of a 3D effect, but thanks for the comments anyway.

"where were you at to get that perspective"

I was on a ship near Svalbard, to the north of Norway. There were a few fulmars flying around the ship just below the upper deck level, so I was able to get a perspective looking down on one of them. As you can see, there wasn't much else to take pictures of that day. This one was taken within half an hour of the shot I posted above, to give you an idea of the situation.



I agree that the 5D Mark II does a good job with contrast. It's not renowned for it's performance with birds in flight, but I have found that if you take enough pictures, you make your own luck.
