Alright.. this one is a little bit nutty.\u00a0 I hesitated putting this in the folio, but I thought: it’s okay if people see where and how I make mistakes…. and yet it might still be entertaining!<\/p>\n

The film had gone bad, probably just from old age.\u00a0 Both L and R show poor contrast, weak blacks.\u00a0 The film looks underexposed, though that seems unlikely to happen to me in studio.\u00a0 And the L and R film shows a slightly different color, both tending too much towards magenta.\u00a0 So: let that be a lesson to me: stop using twenty year old film!<\/p>\n

But worse than these defects is that I shot too close… way, way too close up, given I was shooting with the twin Mamiya 6 rig, which has a stereobase of over 3 inches.\u00a0 What was I thinking!?\u00a0 I wanted to have an image that did not include the waist, I just wanted head and shoulders and chest.\u00a0 I’ve shot that way before doing cha-cha with a motor-drive Hasselblad (baseline of maybe an inch), but here for some reason I thought it would work out with the twin rig.\u00a0 Silly.\u00a0 Shooting from farther away might have worked better – if I’d had some longer lenses (e.g. 150 mm).<\/p>\n

But still I think the the image is interesting.\u00a0 Note that even with the far points set at infinity separation – i.e. the edge of her elbow, not four feet away from me, set to infinity separation – the near points could not be brought to be “behind the stereo window.”\u00a0 So the actual space of her body, which spans a depth of just a foot or 18 inches, in the MF3d view geometry effectively spans five feet to infinity<\/em>.\u00a0 There’s a lot of stretch!<\/p>\n

This is the way I shot for many years in 35 mm film, using a twin rig of film SLRs.\u00a0 All those early images of mine look too stretched to me now – but I guess old habits, or old errors die hard.<\/p>\n

I hope you can enjoy it anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
