This spindly waterfall on the Sunrise side of Mt Rainier no longer exists. It was wiped out years ago by a mudslide. I think I’m the only one who ever noticed it! I’ve shown this slide to dozens of park rangers over the years and they always ask, “Where is that?”
Seattle Skyline from Kerry Park
The classic view of Seattle from Kerry Park on Queen Anne hill. Shot with 2 Mamiya Press cameras triggered with an air bulb. At least 10 feet separation and 150mm lenses.
Don Lopp passed away Feb 24, 2019. His mastery of craft and is impeccable eye missed. He was a generous and helpful man. [JRT February, 2019.]
Mount Rainier
Taken with my homemade camera. Taken from the Sunrise side of Mount Rainier. It’s August, and the flowers are mostly gone. In July there would be red and blue flowers everywhere. I exposed for the foreground, not the mountain.
Blue Heron
This was a twin camera setup triggered with an air bulb. I can’t remember what cameras they were! But the sync was pretty good.
Alpine Lakes Wilderness
Taken on a backpacking trip to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, also known as the Enchantment Lakes, or just The Enchantments. I think that’s Lake Leprechuan on the right. My first major outing with my Don Lopp-modified Sputnik. When the larch are turning golden it’s one of the most breathtakingly beautiful spots I’ve ever visited.
Corkscrew Colors #42
Taken in Corkscrew Canyon on a trip to the Southwest in 2008. TL-120, Provia 100F, f22, shutter speed unrecorded.
Red Rows Backlit
A scene from the 2010 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. The sun coming from an angle behind the tulips gives them an added luminostiy, and I like the reflections and shadows. TL-120, and Provia 100F. Exposure settings unrecorded.
A Fine Bouquet
One of my favorite fireworks shots, especially for the fineness of the light trails, and the color. I shared this image with someone who told me it made her feel like she was on top of the magic castle at Disneyland — one of my all-time favorite responses to a 3D slide.
Shot with twin Hasselblad 500Cs sporting 150mm lenses. Approximately 40 foot separation (based on the half mile distance between me and the fireworks, and the fact that we don’t discern any details behind the firworks — otherwise the 40 foot separation would be a problem).
My Medium Format Slides
Taken cha-cha with my Fuji GA645W and a CU lens at my light table. This shot has images that have toured the folio before, so if you’ve been around, you’ve seen them in 3D 😉 There’s a nice image of our LA3DClub in there too with some 3D friends that may be your friends too (L-R.. Ray Zone, David Kuntz, myself, John Hart, Lawrence Kaufman, Ed?, ?, Oliver Dean, Cassie Kaufman, ?, ?, Steve Berezin. Fun stuff.
Griffith Park Trail
On another run, this time with the Fuji GA645w which I can pack and run with, using Provia 100. This angle is expansive from the Griffith Park trail that leads to the Observatory Overlook. You can see Silver Lake Resevoir, downtown Los Angeles and deeper in the background is the Palos Verdes Peninsula and behind it Catalina. Taken cha-cha style.
Sunset at Lake Balboa
The nearest lake and it’s only 4 miles from my house. I run here often. Lake Balboa is in the Sepulveda Dam Recreation area in the San Fernando Valley, a suburb of Los Angeles. I used at Sputnik and Fujichrome RDP III 100.
Kids at Paramount Ranch
Summer time at Paramount Ranch, Calabasas, CA is a wonderland for my family. We watch the Silents Under the Stars program put on by Hollywood Heritage and the National Park Service. I took this with the World 3D camera and it flarred so I cropped it. Left to right: Kevin is 8, Vincent 4, Emilie 6, and Valentine 5. Shot on Kodak EPR 64 Ektachrome.
Shwedegon Pagoda, Yangon Myanmar
The Schwedegon Pagoda is considered to be the most sacred Buddhist temple in Myanmar.
Photographed with twin Mamiya C220s using 135mm lenses, I used a tripod. Prove 100F pushed one stop. Probably a 15 second exposure at f22.
Great Wall of China
This is the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall located 45 miles from Beijing. It is one of the most thoroughly restored segments of the wall.
Photographed with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. No tripod, I get good results with this camera using a waist-level finder and letting it hang around my neck.
New York Kite Festival
This was a New York Stereoscopic Society activity, we all had a great time shooting stereo of kites against the Hudson river and NY skyline.
Photographed with twin Mamiya C220s with 135mm lenses. Prove 100F pushed one stop. I love the surreal quality the telephoto lenses give to this sort of scene.
