Stereo

[bjorke]

A friend pointed out to me how easy it would be to do stereo off the Alaska ferry, of the coastline, with the ferry running about 22' per second. Take one shot, wait 3-4 seconds, take the next.

I do that all the time from airplanes. Here's one from just last Wednesday:

The primary hazards are vibration, roll, and pitch of the vehicle. It this case, the altitude changed slightly as well.

That's a nice job, Bjorke. Thanks for posting!

Bjorke,

Excellent sense of depth in that shot, but what are the letters in the right-hand image?

(For you non-stereo people, cross your eyes to view this one in stereo - the center image will have superb depth)

Hey Randy,

I think it's his watermark. Look close:

BO
RKE

And then more of the same in the bottom line.

Cool! I'd do that on my photos, except:

A. Dunno how.
B. I don't think mine will be stolen, sigh.

 

[reellis67]

Good one! I *totaly* missed that, but I can see it now. Yeah, I don't think I have to worry too much about people stealing mine either...

BJorke,

Very nice, but you're one of those cross-eyed viewers, aren't you?

(in Chem there used to be the issue that bio-types used cross-eyed stereo, and inorgs used relaxed eye, probably because of which crystallography lab had which viewer originally. End result, I can see relaxed-eye without a viewer, but watching the background loom out of the screen at me, while tall buildings become pits is somewhat disconcerting.)

Stereo fascination

I started shooting stereo photographs when I was a teenager and living near San Francisco. I used my Baby Rolleiflex as well as my father's Leica M3 to obtain them with black and white film. When I was 17, I went to a flea market in Niles, in the East Bay area, and encountered a huge set of mounted stereographs in their original case titled "Tour of the World" which was produced in 1900. Absolutely outstanding photos throughout it for the most part, and I still have that complete set today. I also have a complete set of mounted stereographs titled "World War I" which are a bit eccentric to look at because of the dated troops' clothing but are in pristine condition as well. In the 1990s I shot a ton of stereographs with my 50s Stereo Realist using Fuji Provia 100 and they were exceptional! I don't have any large format equipment, though.

BTW, if any of you ever find yourselves in Meadville, PA, the Johnson Shaw Stereoscopic Museum is worth visiting. I had a chance to drop by in December and rather enjoyed it.

Thanks - just added to my list of places to see. URL / museum looks interesting.

There's a new MF 3D stereo camera on the market from China. I already posted the info in another thread under the Medium Format camera section.

Check out the camera here:

Hi David,

It got a brief mention back in October, in (there was a url link here which no longer exists) on stereo photography. There's a little bit of information about the forthcoming Fotoman camera in there as well.

Best,
Helen
