Bible Hill – Jerusalem

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

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

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.

Ring in the Rock

In August I was trying to take some pictures near the Chain Bridge, which crosses the Potomac from Arlington to D.C.  It’s a fairly standard steel girder bridge, but a much earlier bridge at the same spot was a chain suspension bridge, and the name apparently stuck.  I spotted this iron ring embedded in the rock near the western abutment; perhaps it was a part of the old suspension bridge.

Taken with my Sputnik on Provia 100.
