3d shot with camera

Is this Possible? I was thinking of trying to take a picture of philharmagic or muppets 3d by placing one side of the 3d glasses of my lense. has anyone ever tried this?

That should work. You'll probably get better results if you use a polarizer instead. Either way, you better have a fast lens or a high ISO. I don't think those movies are bright enough to photograph easily through sunglasses.

For those unaware of how the 3D movies work, they project two overlapping images. One image is polarized vertically and the other horizontally. The glasses you where are also polarizers (one vertical and on horizontal). Each glass blocks out the picture from on projector and lets in the picture from the other. That allows you to see a different image with each eye. Your brain puts them back together by infering depth where the images almost, but don't quite, match.

If you are trying to get a 3D effect, then no you cannot get that. Like Mark said, your brain is what causes the effect. I also agree that a polarizing filter would be your best bet for picture quality. I have placed the special effect glasses, that give you snowflakes or star bursts on points of light, over my lens to get that effect and it worked pretty well. It had to be a p&s camera though b/c the holes in the glasses are too small for a DSLR lens.
