I’ve been testing out my new-to-me Kodak Stereo camera for a few days now, and over the weekend I had an itch to photograph the snowy, chilly Washington Park area.
That’s right. Most people go to church on Sunday morning … for me, “church” is a camera and a location.
Besides, I’ve been testing out slow film in this camera – mostly ISO 100 film to get the best results. And as this camera was built to use slow-for-the-era Kodak Ektachrome film from the 1950’s, I figure that the best film I can use is slow film like Fuji B&W Acros, Kodak Ektar, Fuji Velvia, and whatever efke I still have in the freezer.
For this trip, I loaded a canister of Fuji B&W Acros film in the Kodak Stereo. Normally you wouldn’t use B&W film in this camera, but I’m not looking to make 3-D transparencies out of this film.
At least not yet. Who knows with today’s technology…
I walked along the perimeter of the Washington Park Lake. And then I saw it.
A great angle. Park bench, snowy pathway, the sunrise over the Empire State Plaza in the distance…
Okay, Chuck … ready … aim … shoot.
Yeah, I know, this photo is presented in earth-quake-o-vision, but when I’m dealing with a 3D camera, I need toshow some semblance of three dimensions on a two-dimensional computer monitor.
Ergo … this.
Actually, I am feeling very confident about what this camera can achieve, so long as I put the proper “slow” film in it and don’t expect it to do much more than take stereo photos.
Which … in the end … is fine by me. 😀
UPDATE: A blog reader wanted to see the two images side-by-side.

Maybe try the two images side-by-side and let the reader meld them with their eyes.
It’s awkward, but perhaps better than the moving target.
