New Mexico Moods

by Jon Hoggatt

Kitch Gitten Place

This Sante Fe shop keeper agreed to have this environmental portrait done in the doorway. The Open shade made Velvia the choice – interior light balanced well by luck.

Crown Jewels

I like shooting store windows – reflections vs. transluscence. Thi one is more about the stuff, the sunflowers, and signage.

Abandoned Adobe

Velvia worked wll for this lighting scenario – side sun. I love how it saturates the colors.

One Man’s Junk

I was absolutely awestruck when I came upon this scene. The picket fence, the metal barn, the broken glass, even the wires in the sky… and wow, what a sky.

 

Dolomites

by Philip Steinman

Picnic Table Waterfall

In July of 2014, my wife and I trail ran and trekked the Dolomites in the Italian Alps. There is a lot to see here and we opted to take a guided running tour with holomites.com. After a brief rest at this picnic table, we made an easy climb to the base of the falls.

The Cross

This view is an inspired resting place where views of the mountains and summer wild flowers surround you in every direction. After my cha-cha shot, I put my camera back in my Osprey Rev 6 hydration pack and ran to catch up.

Giant Leaves

While running along the river bank I was enamored with the giant leaves you see here. If you were to stand in the bunch, you’d be knee deep more in water, and single leaf would provide a good hat from the sun.

Dolomite Garden

I ran by many summer gardens in the ski town, but this one made me stop, take out my camera for a cha-cha shot. If you look closely at the background you can see a car on the road and few cable cars in different positions in the left and right images 🙂

All images were made with a Fuji GA645w using Provia 100F film.

Abandoned House, Mussoorie India

by Jim Harp

Scan000110This was the view from the Plaza hotel in Mussoorie India.   It must have been a gorgeous residence at some point.  You can see that someone is living there, or at least hanging some laundry up to dry.   Mussoorie is in Northern India at the foothills of the Himilayas.

Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop.   I used a pod-support on a deck railing.   I think it was 1/125 @f16.

“Mermaid Parade – Twin Pillows”

by Jim Harp

Scan000111Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop with a Vivitar 285H with a diffusor for fill-flash.  I believe it was f16 @ 1/125.   The TL-120 seems to do fine with flash sync at 1/125 even though 3D World only claimed 1/30.

It was bright sunny day for the 2014 Mermaid Parade, fill-flash saved lots of my shots from excessive shadow detail.

For me fill-flash is like that commercial for hot-sauce:   “I put that $#*& on everything!”

Taj Mahal Close

by Jim Harp

Scan000109The Taj Mahal is often seen just in the classic full view, but there’s quite a lot to look at when you get closer in.   MF3D is really the only medium that can convey the richness of all the marble inlays and carving.

This was photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop.  I believe it was 1/250 @f16.  No tripods are allowed at the Taj unless major fees are paid, so this was shot with the camera hanging around my neck using a Hasselblad waist level finder and a cable release.   October 2010.

The TL-120 attracted a lot of attention in India, at times I was mobbed with people wondering what it was.

Metal garden sculptures, and the Steam Plant

by Frank Roberto

    

I went to the old Steam Plant south of the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle.   Its no longer in operation, but you can walk around among the old machinery once a month.  Visually, its a treat.  Wonderful and almost free way to spend the morning.

This first shot here has a shallow DOF because I didn’t know we were allowed to bring tripods, which had been banned in the past.   Also, I had mistakenly brought ISO 100 film, instead of ISO400.   I ended up finding things to put the camera on and pray my hands were steady.     If not for these reasons, I would have used a smaller aperture.

The other 2 shots are from a business which sells rusty ornamental garden sculptures.  Can’t say I’d buy one, but it was a fantastic place to shoot stereo.  In many instances, the visual jumble of lines of rusty metal did a great job of demonstrating how a 2D photo made it hard to pick out the form of objects, but in stereo, you see them immediately.    That day, it was sunny enough that I didn’t need a tripod.

I shot these with a Sputnik.

 

String of Pearls

String of Pearls

Brooklyn Bridge with the lights on

In all but one of my shots of the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side the lights are off. This is the outlier. I think they were turned off this day at 1 am, shortly after I shot this. Twin Hasselblad 500Cs with 50mm lenses mounted on a wooden bar as close as I can get them (about 4.25″ between lens centers). Provia 100f, f22, 4 minute exposure.

Golden

Fireworks above Lake Union in Seattle.

This was shot on July 4, 2014 from the rooftop of a friend’s condo. I get the entire 40′ long, flat space to myself! And I take advantage of the full length. The cameras are Hasselblad 500Cs, outfitted with 150mm lenses. They are triggered by a wired remote devised by my genius friend, James Baker, who owns the condo. There is an article in the 1.2014 issue of STEREOSCOPY detailing what goes into the planning. See:
