Lisbon in 3D — with lively depth
During my flight to Madeira I was very lucky to have a whole day stopover in Lisbon, which was the perfect test for my new Smartphone-Rig. Experience this beautiful and incredibly alive city in 3‑D.

I discovered that I could create stereographic worlds using POLAROID SX-70 cameras in the 1984. Some were standard 3D images (like the STREET LIFE Series), but by staging unusual objects and materials found in the aging industrial area of lower Manhattan, various tableaus were created and slowly evolved in my studio. With the Polaroid SX-70 cameras, I recorded the various developments steroeoptically, creating over 50 tableau’s in a 3 year period.
We are very sorry that this month’s announcement is terribly late! We still hope that many of you are able to join us TOMORROW.
First, we have George Themelis in our Photographer Spotlight, who will take us on a journey through Greece. After that, we will travel around the globe to look at some treasures of our community members during a Show & Tell. We will finish with an In-Depth Socializing.
We hope to see you tomorrow, Sunday, June 4th at 2:00 pm EDT / 8:00 pm CEST!
Save the date! We invite you all to our next VSC meeting, where we’ll be covering two great topics!
First, we have a special presentation by Val about ‘Italy Unveiled: A Stereoscopic Trip Through History and Art.’
Then, we’ll be showing a community slideshow featuring all the stereos that YOU submitted to our May challenge.
Join us on Sunday, May 7th, 2pm EDT / 8pm CEST
Join the Virtual Stereoscopic Community (VSC) for an exciting online meeting this Sunday! Carlton will share the fascinating story of Polaroid 3D Artwork and the Wheatstone Plexiglass viewers, while Peter will introduce us to his animated comedy series, “Pint Size Chat”. And don’t miss the chance to get to know your fellow community members during our In-Depth Socializing section. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started in stereoscopic photography, this event promises to be fun and informative. See you there!
One of the most remarkable stereoscopes ever produced commercially was the Ives Kromskop (Patent #531,040, Dec 18, 1894). In it, three stereoscopic glass positives made from negatives exposed through red, green, and blue filters are optically superimposed to give a full color image of remarkable quality. It was more than ten years prior to the introduction of relatively crude full color plates such as the Autochrome.
These images are from my most recent book “Macrophant 3D”, published at the end of 2020 in collaboration with Jim McManus. It is a collection of 60 macro phantograms. In the book they’re shown in anaglyph, parallel view and cross-eyed view.
We’re happy to have David Starkman presenting one item of his huge collection: An Ives Kromoskop!
Also, David Kuntz and Vanessa Grein will talk about their collaboration, describe some of their working methods, and of course, share many of their images.
Join us on Sunday, March 12th at 3:00 pm EDT / 8:00 pm CET!
I have been trying to capture the beauty of Scotland (my home country) and Wales (where I live now) in 3D. These landscapes proved a great way to learn how to make the most of the depth from single-lens cha-chas and with the limited baseline of the Fuji Finepix 3D W3. Of course, much credit must also go to my dog Punky, who provided a great focal point for many of my W3 landscapes.
In our Community Slideshow we will show all images that our members submitted for the „Hometown“ Challenge.
Besides that we are looking forward to a photographer’s highlight: Dave Wynn will be presenting his stereos from Scotland and Wales. Using his Fuji Finepix W3 and cha chas taken with his single lens iPhone, Dave has been experimenting with getting the most out of 3D landscapes.
You will also have the chance get to know one of our members better as we continue the In-Depth-Socializing series.

Happy New Year! For the first meeting of 2023 we will have one presentation and plenty of time for our community.
Katya will show us some extraordinary slides produced in the Soviet Bloc during the 1970s. We will also have a Show & Tell section in which everyone is invited to share a treasured 3D item or photo they’re excited about.
So don’t forget to bring something with you — nothing is too ordinary to share it with us!
For the last part of our meeting we will take some time to introduce someone from our community.
We’re looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, January 8th 2023, 2pm EST / 8pm CET!
Join our Christmas meeting on December 11! We will celebrate modern stereoscopy together in several ways. First, we will have Klara Wang presenting about 2D to 3D conversions. She will show us some examples of this popular trend and demonstrate her standard workflow. Then we will look once again at your amazing stereo photos that you have submitted for our fourth stereo challenge. Finally, it’s raffle time… more details below! We’re looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, December 11th at 2:00 pm EST / 8:00 pm CET. Don’t forget some gingerbread and your Santa hat!
