Hiking offers many opportunities for landscape stereo-photography. Due to the diverse scale of the objects, from small, beautiful flowers, to trees, to entire mountain regions it is possible to take a large variety of stereo-photos. My favourite stereos are the hyperstereos of mountains.
Anyone who wants to take closeup stereo photos has to deal with the several problems. But apps like i3DMovieCam bring simultaneous stereo photography to your iPhone. This opens up the world of small animals, insects and moving objects to everyday stereo photography.
Sometimes you will get a glimpse of the individual history of your treasure and know where it was stored, wether it was looked after or long forgotten, if the owner was well situated or not, etc. For me, these stories are invaluable. As a passionate restorer, I especially appreciate viewers that have remained untouched since their last use. I carefully remove the dust of decades to reveal the original beauty of a stereoscope. Being the first one to do so feels almost like getting in touch with those who bought it a century ago. I want to take you to one of those journeys.
Make sure you don’t miss Conny Wetzig presenting her unique macro-stereos featuring insects, and Ilicia Benoit discussing her method of capturing visual stereoscopic imagery via a single photograph, taken from a single vantage point.
