Ferruginous Hawk Nest

I found this nest on a hike called “The Valley of 1000 Devils” in the East Block of Grasslands National Park. Hiking in the back-country is nice as you cant point your camera in nearly any direction without including any sign of human development. The English transliteration of the Latin scientific name for this bird is “Royal Buzzard” — surely Saskatchewan’s most impressive grassland bird.  Here it has used some bones to construct its nest. I wish I had a half stop less exposure here.

 

Narrow Hills Esker View

This one is a bit sad for me. I took this shot in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. It was a bit smoky the year I took this photo from forest fires further north — you can see the lack of contrast in the distance. (You can also see a blurry log in the foreground due to insufficient DOF, but try not to focus on that too much!) Well, during the summer of 2025, a large fraction of the park was burned in a forest fire, including this area. I guess it might be kinda interesting to go back and take some photographs after the fire.

 

Alley After Spring Storm

Back Alley Fence After Storm

Sorry for the two similar views, but I’d like to get your feedback. After a spring storm, the clouds cleared right around sunset and there was some really wild light. I was totally overcome by the atmosphere that I found myself immersed in. There were lots of wonderful wet reflective surfaces and great textures highlighted by the low angle of the sun peeking out from the clouds. I knew I only had a few minutes before the sun set, but I didn’t know where to point my camera. I was just around my house in a suburban environment and the neighborhood is rather photographically uninspiring ). I knew I had to try to shoot something in 3D, so I grabbed my TL-120 and ventured down the alley. I’m curious if you’ve ever found yourself in a similar situation. How would you approach shooting this situation? Do you see any potential compositions in these two slides that I overlooked?

 

Cheers and thanks for the many wonderful images this round!

70-Mile Butte

Taken on a hike on the west side of Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan. The trail is only a couple miles long, and the trailhead is about 15 miles from the US border, so I’m not sure what the name refers to. The sun beats down hard and there is very little rain.

Boreal Floor

A close-up from Prince Albert National Park in central Saskatchewan. I blew the whites a bit, and a blade of grass is blowing in the wind. MF3D is tough to get right!

Bergenia in Wild Light

I was unsure about submitting this image (barely made the shortlist), but my test audience liked it, so I thought I’d see what the pros say. This was taken after a spring rainstorm. The clouds cleared away right before sunset and I had 15 minutes of absolutely crazy light. I couldn’t travel too far since time was short, I took a couple shots in the alleyway and this bedding plant. The dynamic range far exceeded what Velvia offers. This would have been clear candidate for an M-chrome.

Dickman Mill Ruins

These are some remains from a sawmill constructed in the late 1800s. Taken in Tacoma, WA during 3D-Con 2022. After mounting this slide, I did a google search to remind myself of the name of this location, and apparently the creosote treated pilings have now been removed.

Aiming At Gold Coast

This image is from 2024 near Gold Coast Australia. I presume the wooden canon is a substitute for a real one, which are probably in short supply.

Roo

This Kangaroo is living in a reserve near Gold Coast.

 

Grand Canal bustle

Taken some years back (2017?) from the Rialto Bridge. We had mostly overcast skys, but I was shooting anyhow. Few came out very well.

Oil Pull Lineup

This shot was taken at the Milton Steam show in Sept 2025. I love going to this show for the cool machines and for the stereo opportunities.

All these images were shot with my tricked out Sputnik, and old film from the camera show.

 

 

 

 

 

Rumbero Con El Rolleidoscop

by Steven Lederman


I belong to Rumberos, a Cuban music study group. Every year we travel to a different part of Cuba and study for a week with various musicians and dancers. Most of the group are percussionists, but often people will join us on various trips who are interested in dance or interested in the Cuban culture. Each year I attend I shoot video footage and create three minute condensed versions of our trips. I’ve brought various stereo cameras along on some trips and have used them to take travel snapshots, usually at pit stops on the way to our workshops.
“Johnny Coming Through The Stereo Window” – Johnny Bullen, brother of pianist Eddie Bullen, laughs at all my jokes, so I consider him a great guy. If asked he’ll play bell, clave, timbales or cascara.
“Pausa Para Fumar” – Our bus driver for the 2023 trip.
“El Coche Verde” – – I was going to include some portraits but the ones I liked really needed some fill flash, so you’re stuck with the obligatory Cuban old car shot. The engine is probably running on modified Soviet car parts.
“Meet The New Swinger” – You’d have to be as old as I am to remember the photo-related commercial that began with “Hey! Meet the new Swinger!!” This is Vic Ramnarine, who’ll gladly sit in with any band on tumbadoras, even when not asked to do so.
