THE 3D WORKS

Dang, the 3D doesn't work the the glasses I used to view the recent movie "Coraline." Gotta have red+blue lenses, apparently. Cool modern advancement in the sales of pedal steel guitars, Nathan! Bet we see more of these online soon.

I like to think of myself as a trend-setter.

Guitar has been sold. Please close. If anyone wants any information on how to do photographs in glorious 3D, feel free to email me.

A good anaglyph, Nathan... another stereoscopic photographer in the Forum. I thought I was the only one. I've been shooting in stereo for about 30 yrs., in 5 perf, 7 perf formats, and also in Pan-16 using a Bolex H16 movie camera with a beam splitter.

This is part of my collection of stereo cameras.

That's awesome, Alan. Do you know if someone makes a digital stereoscopic camera? I just have a little tripod attachment that slides the camera 2.5" from side to side.

OK Nathan! What happend? Did you get yourself another steel or are you throwing the towell in. Either way shoot me a e-mail or call my number if you still have it. www.dennistinsman.com I,m planning a trip to Washington. My daughter lives in Shelton and a good friend owns Liberty RV in Sumner. I was wondering how you guys did the 3-D. I buy the throw away cameras at Wall-Mart. I always screw up a picture or two and thats is with one button. I don't know how I ever learned to play the steel. Maybe if they made a camera with pedals and knees I'd do better.

As long as your subject doesn't move, a slide bar is as good a method as any other. I use that method to take shots of my model railway, because I can reduce the interocular separation to what a scaled-down man's would be; about 2 mm. That makes models look lifesize.
There are stereo digital cameras being made, but they're mainly for hospitals and cost in the region $2,000-$10,000. They're also very heavy. No-one has made a regular digital stereo camera, but there are two alternatives. The first is to use a beam splitter or stereo attachment in front of a digital SLR. The other is to use two identical cameras and fire them via a dual cable release. This method has always been popular, but with 35mm cameras the main problem was that the interocular/interlens separation could not be smaller than the width of the camera. This was dictated by the size of the film. Using a larger ILS creates hyperstereo, so things look like models. This can be useful if you stand on a hill, take a shot of the city, then move six feet to the side and take a stereo pair. When viewed, you see what a giant would see. With modern digital cameras it's very easy to find two small cameras. The problem is finding two cameras with cable release sockets. If you were willing to take the cameras apart you could wire the two buttons together, so that pushing either button fires both shutters.
