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.

Timo’s Submissions

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


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.

Lake Superior Ice (near Duluth)

This was taken with a “tuned” Sputnik, along Lake Superior on Minnesota’s “North Shore” a few years back. Although Lake Superior does not freeze over entirely in winter (unlike smaller bodies of water with less wave action), there are typically areas in protected bays that will freeze over for a time. These ice sheets then “break up” periodically and the ice plates pile up near the shore, as seen here. The sound during the breakup is incredible, although I have not had a chance to observe in recent years. Hearing the sounds prior to the breakup when the water motion causes a sort of “belching” under the ice is also  quite an experience.
