    Thanks to Tim I now know you can take pictures of the 3D movies by placing the glasses in front of the lens but I found this rather difficult so I, um, forgot to return a pair glasses and made a lens insert... works great and no more thumbing around...

    Tim, what settings are best for shooting say Muppet Vision?

    There's another way to do this as well, I should mention. All you need is a polarizer (circular polarizer for DSLRs because they need such things). Good filters can be expensive, but for shooting 3d movies I think a cheap CP would suffice.
    Then again polarizers can be useful for outdoors shooting for darkening the sky (enhancing the blue and also reducing the dynamic range so the sky isn't so much brighter than the ground), and the sky does tend to be bright in Florida.. just a word of warning, don't use them if you're shooting panoramas. The sky is guaranteed to come out uneven.

    Ya, I made one for you too Tim...

    Dan, I wondered about those filters... a polarized filter will also help for shooting through windows as well correct?

    mike, it will cut glare and reflection from non-metallic surfaces... windows, water, etc. works best at 90 degrees from the light source... can deepen and saturate colors and really pop clouds out of the sky...
