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.
Bagan is famous for its thousand year old Bhuddist temples. Many of these belonged to wealthy families who built them next to their houses. The houses were made of wood and are long gone, but the temples remain.
Photographed with twin Mamiya C-220s using 135mm lenses, December 2015. Prove 100F pushed one stop. I used a tripod. It was challenging hauling this huge rig around Myanmar and my family got a bit impatient with me at times, but it was worth it to get shots like this one.
All three of these images were captured in Elora, Ontario, Canada at the site of an old mill on the Elora River. I was fascinated by how much was left standing of this structure, although all things considered there was more missing than present! Matt Neima and Steven Lederman, featured in this folio, along with some other friends were out for this photo jaunt. It was a bright day, allowing some significant blue skies mixed with the deteriorating building.
“The Inner Garden” – As per my last run, I am still experimenting with multiple exposures, but this image is the only example I have included this time. It was very bright, so I had to do a bit of calculated guessing at the stacking of the exposure times. I was fascinated by the garden like aspect inside the walls of this building. I also loved the fact I was shooting through a chain length fence. All three images were captured on my Sputnik which I acquired from John Thurston.
“Under deConstruction” – The strange position of the construction barrel, with the bizarre rebar jutting out of the old foundation caught my eye here. It was also an interesting optical illusion that the supports appear as though they are pushing the crumbling walls over rather than supporting them. The Fuji Provia 100F film did a nice job with the blue sky and drab greys.
“Stuck in the Corner” – Experimentation is at the core of my shooting. I was intrigued at how much the person in the corner disappeared due to the brightness of parts of the building. My attempt here was to slightly over expose the brightest part of the building, hopefully then under exposing the bottom right area. Maybe it worked…
Thanks to Steven Lederman for developing this film for me.
CNE midway
I spent a whole afternoon scouting angles for shooting time exposures at the Canadian National Exhibition midway. After I had shot two rolls of my well planned scenes, I had one frame left over. I quickly looked around for a nice angle and took this image to finish the roll. It was the best one of the lot. I feel quite fortunate that two spotlights on the corn dog stand were burnt out. Either one would have made this shot impossible, or at least very diminished.
TL-120, Provia 100f, f22, four second exposure (I’m pretty sure).
Hyper stereo image
Some of you may get a feeling of deja vu with this one. It is almost identical to a shot I took with my TL-120 a few years back. This time I returned with my Lubitel rig to get a hyper shot of the wonderful and famous Charles Bridge in Prague, which I was just itching to do. The TL-120 image did not show enough depth for me. This one does. I was thinking about putting both images in the folio for comparison, but I would rather show some variety. I prefer this image to the original.
Provia 100f, but I have no idea what the aperture was, but the shutter speed was 1/125th. I never change that, lest I lose my matching shutter speeds.
Southern Czech Republic
We were on our way to a different beautiful historic town when we chanced upon this wonderful view. We stopped by the river bank and I set up my Lubitel rig and shot this hyper (about 16″ separation) using my trusty one-cable-release-in-each-hand synchronization method. As usual, it stopped a bird in flight. Provia 100f and almost certainly sunny 16 on this one.
Taken with a TL 120 using FUJI RDP III
FUJI RDP III,
This was a ‘proof of concept’ experiment in creating an abstract 3D image. It isn’t all I had hoped it would be, but it isn’t discouraging me either! Taken with the TL-120. Don’t recall the settings (I’m writing this after the slide was sent in, so answers could be on the mount!). Probably something like a quarter or eighth of a second exposure. Camera is swept down, hopefully level, and the shutter pressed when already in motion. I also don’t know if this image is the same one as the slide in the folio, but it’s in the same spirit.
We have a number of trees on our property. Last year we were very busy with our jobs, with Jet, late summer and fall, and so we kept having to postpone raking leaves… or we just didn’t feel like it. 
The more they accumulated, the less we’d feel like it! Sometime in December, we just had to do it. It became a huge chore taking us the better part of two days. I think we hauled two dozen TARPfulls to the curb, I bet close to a ton of leaves, no joke. Only a 3D picture can properly convey the mass, the heaps and mountains of leaves collected.
Shot with Sputnik, f22 probably, 1 sec. on Provia I guess.
Fireworks over Seattle’s Lake Union
Taken during the 2015 Independence Day celebration in Seattle. The shapes remind me of the Sydney Opera House.
4th of July Fireworks over Seattle’s Lake Union
Shot from a flat rooftop with 40 feet of separation. Hasselblads were triggered with car door locks.
From the personal collection of John Thurston.
Taken in Colorado September 2011. I call him Biker Bob, actually I don’t have a clue as to who he is. Taken with the spud, handheld, available light. I thought he looked cool on his bike.
Same trip September 2011. Rocky Mountain National Park, taken with the spud, handheld with available light.
Taken at Rocky Mountain National Park in September 2011. Male elk taking it easy. Shot with the spud, handheld with available light.
