F-4N Phantom II

 

This is a McDonnell Douglas F-4N Phantom II on the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

The USS Intrepid served in the Pacific theater during WWII, as a recovery ship for the Mercury and Gemini space missions, and in the Vietnam War, before being retired and converted to a museum ship.

The F-4N was an updated fighter bomber that served the US Navy during the 1970s and 1980s. It was replaced by the Grumman F-14 Tomcat.

This was taken with a handheld (string monopod) Sputnik on Kodak E100G.

Bible Hill – Jerusalem

by Jon Hoggatt

Here is a Cross-Eye View of the MF3D view. I spotted this rather barren field on top of a big hill across from our hotel and couldn’t resist exploring. I was drawn to the amazing mature century plants in this cluttered back yard of a home to the left of the scene. Our tour guide proclaimed proudly that the construction crane was considered the national bird of Israel. There are several here. Made with my trusty Sputnik on Provia 100 Believe it or not, that’s it’s name. See  that shows these same plants and the old rail-road station to the right.

Escher Church – Estill SC

by Jon Hoggatt

Just driving around looking for something interesting to document in 3D – low and behold! This little church seems to have been dominated by this ominous grain storage operation. I shot two of these and mounted one straight and one pseudo, just for fun. Here is a cross-eye view of the one I put in the folio. So, you can view it “normal” (not pseudo) with a parallel screen viewer or free-view it. The desired effect is not nearly so pronounced here as it looking at the MF3D pair in a good viewer such as the Saturn Slide, IMHO. Made with the Sputnik on Provia 100.

Anderson Quarry – Rion SC

by Jon Hoggatt

A good friend took me to this place before we moved out here. He was trying to acquire the property and open a scuba-diving school on it. But, some politician got a hold of it and closed it down to any visitors, so that’s that. Anyway, what an amazing place for MF3D photography! This is a Cross-Eye view of the original, for your convenience. I used the two RB67s and Provia 100. Check out this “Hold-my-beer” video to see what used to go on here. Do a search for more historical data, if you like.

“Wild Horses”

by Jon Hoggatt

This is a cross-eye view of the MF3D view now in the folio. It was made on a shoot with my good friend, Mike Davis. We actually got run off by security, for looking “too professional” with our twin rigs, tripods, step-ladder, and bags of gear! As you can see, the cast is different in the two. Turns out it’s due to one of those “happy accidents”: The Right-Eye view (on the left here, with the green cast) was shot on Velvia RVP50, while the Left-Eye view (on the right here, with the magenta cast) was shot on Velvia RVP100F. So it’s a whole different kind of Retinal Rivalry, but I think it adds to immersive experience (just by chance). Shot with two RB67s with 50mm lenses – focus knobs touching – overcast day.

 

Ordinarily I do not try to make art using elements of the artwork of others, but made an exception in this case. This amazing Bronze Sculpture is by Robert Glen and graces Williams Square in Las Colinas in Irving Texas. It used to be a grassy field where I hunted rabbits, growing up nearby.

Showy Lady’s Slippers

by Linda Nygren

This pink and white orchid (Cypripedium reginae)  is the Minnesota state flower, but not easy to find in the wild. This shot was taken at the MN Landscape Arboretum, with a TL-120 on Provia 100 film. There are also several Columbine blossoms (Aquilegia canadensis) around the base. Exposure unrecorded.

Coney Island Mermaids

by Jim Harp

The past few years the Coney Island Mermaid Parade has been the event where I shot most of my Medium Format rolls for the year. This was the event I most missed among all the cancelled activities of Summer 2020. This shot was taken with a TL-120 using a Vivitar 285H fill-flash. My TL-120 reliably syncs to flash at 1/125 even though flash sync is marked for 1/30. This has softened the shadows on countless Mermaid Parade portraits I’ve taken. Provia 100F pushed 1 stop.

Alcatraz

by Jim Harp

Shot with twin Mamiya C220s with 135 mm lenses. I enjoy the surreal effect telephoto 3D creates. For years I had dreamed of being able to own twin Tele-Rollei’s and then one day I realized I could get very close to that on the cheap with the old Mamiya TLRs.

Rita N. Wink

by Jim Harp

Taken at a “New York Pinup Club” event in March 2019. TL-120 with Ilford Pan-F processed by DR-5. I believe this was a half second exposure, Rita did a good job staying still but there’s still a bit of motion blur.

Chicago Theater

by Jim Harp

Shot with twin Yashica-Mat 124s, I used to have a lot of fun with this rig, the additional lens separation works well on shots like this. Unfortunately I had constant shutter misfires with these cameras and finally got put them away for good.
