STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY
 from New Zealand

by John Wattie     

version - 08/06/19

A personal record of things I have learned about stereoscopic photography: by experimenting, doodling on the backs of envelopes and reading. If others find it useful, jolly good. If the knowledgeable fix errors, (as Frank Di Marzio notably did) even better. Anticipated corrections are the main reason for putting it all on the web.

Updated:

March 12 2007: Fungal foray anaglyphs

April 2007: STEREO space craft


August 2006: version 2.3 of the stereo base spreadsheet, for PDA use in the field. Includes Wattie formula for base versus image magnification.

Anaglyphs can fill the screen and are excellent for showing stereoscopic panoramas
