Not as much as I ought to...

The design of a stereo film camera places some constraints on the pictures that make it hard to screw up the mounting. For example, unless you have some really unique mechanical malfunctions, you can assume that both sides of the pair are parallel with each other. Once you start digitizing the images, you have the opportunity to introduce all kinds of problems like having one side slightly higher than the other, having one or both sides rotated slightly from perfectly parallel alignment, having inconsistent color balance between the sides, etc. At this point, mounting the film is faster for me. And besides, unless you have really high end equipment (which I don't), it's really hard to match the image quality of slide film on a scan.

I can't argue with that. What I would really like is a matched pair of digital cameras wired to fire in sync.

Yeah.... one day.... a guy on the photo-3d list has started to sell a setup. Still too pricy for me.

If you're interested, Els, here's the site my buddy exchanges with: APEC.

Some nice anaglyph stuff to look at there too.

SteveDallas · 02-17-2004, 12:20 PM

I bit the bullet and ordered LCD shutter glasses last night. I'm going to make a more concerted effort to develop better techniques for digitizing my stuff.

I just found these pics today whilst poking around on Space.com and thought this might be a good thread to put them in...

I don't have a pair of 3d glasses - any idea where I can find one? Spencers or somewhere??

Rainbow Symphony ...

Service over and above the call of duty (they sent me the wrong glasses - red and blue were reversed, two pairs, so they let me keep those, and sent me the right ones...twice! So, now I have six pairs of red/blue glasses).

I tried to do the right thing and send the extras back, but they wouldn't have any of it. Great communication, reasonable prices, nice glasses. Go for it. My highest recommendation.

More astronomical 3d..

Thanks for the groovy 3D links, guys. I never get tired of this. There sure is a wide disparity in quality of 3D image, though...

So, my wife and I went to the Ozarks over the weekend to visit her hillbilly parents (okay, her folks are relatively sophisticated, but she's first generation out of the hills despite this fact). We took a day trip over to Ha Ha Tonka State Park, an amazing example of limestone karst geology and home of a ruined mansion, dubbed the Ha Ha Tonka Castle, a formerly magnificent structure and its supporting structures constructed from native stone and destroyed in a fire about 80 years ago.

We did some Geocaching, and naturally I took my new stereographic camera, because this would be an awesome place to do some 3d shots. I shot up a whole roll...wonderful, wonderful views and architectural photos...but when I got the camera back to her folks' place, *I couldn't figure out how to rewind the film* in this 50 year old camera.

I ended up destroying the roll. Sob. However, after getting back to civilization, I managed to use the 'Net to figure out how to rewind the film. I still feel incredibly frigging stupid, though.

Elspode · 10-10-2005, 11:09 PM

Getting film processed and scanned for this thing is a total pain in the ass...then there's the whole "let's guess at exposure" thing. All this to say that I don't get a lot of useable photos out of my 3D camera, and the ones I do get aren't real great.

I did like the way this one turned out, though. A good friend of mine just a little over a year ago. The child which eventually ventured forth from this classic bulge shares my birthday!

Second pic is someone much stronger than I throwing a rock over a crossbar. Note blur above his head, which is said rock.

As usual, left eye red, right eye blue.

Happy Monkey · 10-10-2005, 11:43 PM

Very cool. The second one really shows off the effect, with the poles.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-11-2005, 12:53 AM

Good job, Els. The rock looks like it'll drop straight on their head.
