Stereo Pair

I can remember being in the geography lab when I was an undergrad and absolutely loving the stereoscope, viewing old, crisp, black and white aerial photographs of buttes and canyons in the Southwest. Static images of the world come alive, and you can really read a landscape and get a truer sense of depth beyond what a shadow tells you. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how I could create a three dimensional scene or landscape video using static images. Below is the roughest draft of what I am talking about. It’s not as crisp as the images in the geography lab, but a fair attempt. I think that you could do a series of these pictures, making the scene more realistic, but that will come later…
