I spent weeks reviewing and deciding which images would make my final four for the upcoming International 3D stereo photo competition in Vienna. This is the last year of the competition; and if I’m going to pull this rabbit out of my hat, I need to grab it by the scruff of its neck and…

One last chance at a 3D photo competition in Austria
In 2020, I submitted some film-generated stereoscopy images to an international 3D stereo photo competition in Vienna, the Photographische Gesellschaft in Wien. Unfortunately, the photos were not selected for the show. Fast forward to 2023. I’ve got a more stable setup with some killer stereoscopic images, and once again, the 3D stereo photo competition is…

It’s Saturday morning. Snow on the ground and snow in the air. This is supposed to be a time of cheer and celebration. Holiday and harmony.

I need true synchronization! TRUE SYNCHRONIZATION!!
As I get closer to my planned 3D stereoscopy goals, I have all the tools I need. Two identical Nikon Df cameras (well, one’s black and one’s silver, but other than that..) Two identical 50mm f/1.8D lenses. A mounting rail that will keep both cameras level and parallel when shooting. But I’m now running into…

More Saratoga, Corinth & Hudson railway photo practice
This is realistically the last decent weekend for fall foliage. All the leaves are dying off. The tree colors are muting. But I wanted to get more practice with my stereoscopy project, and when you’ve got a tourist railroad a short drive away, you PRACTICE like you’re auditioning for Carnegie Hall. Yesterday morning. I scoped…
