I have, been doing photographs of scenery for several years now by shifting
the camera a little left or right.  Got a few renders to do that with too on
one of my web pages.  I first saw it in the Photography magazine and I was
instantly amazed.  It's terrible on the eyes though if the images are large
or close, which means detail is usually lost because of being smaller or
further away.
Time and again I've almost gotten a stereoscope or lenses to make one, just
nothing like seeing straight fullcolor 3D without an apparatus, no
comparsion I think.
