Crowded places, animals, wind or water — movement in general is a No-Go if you’re taking stereo photos with your smartphone. These are only some reasons why I started working on a solution for syncing two smartphones. After almost a year, I have a fully functional setup with two iPhones.
In our next meeting, Cindy will show us her amazing Stereo Nightscapes and Pascal will tell us about his research on simultaneous stereo photography with smartphones.
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 with the community.
Join us on Sunday, November 6th at 2:00 pm EST / 8:00 pm CET
I always wanted to visit Barcelona. So, during my visit at Foticos Collection I took the chance to spend half a day in Barcelona on my way from Germany to Zaragoza and back. Because I only had a few hours I had to choose instead of just walking around. I basically visited the famous Sagrada Família cathedral and La Rambla. All of these photos were taken with two synced iPhones 11 Pro.
Our next meeting is full of beautiful stereo photos of our members. We’ll start with a virtual trip to Malaysia with our tour guide Choon Ean as our first presenter. After that, we will reveal your submissions to our Macro Challenge in our third community slide show. Once again, we are amazed by your submissions. Finally, we will once again take time to get to know each other better. Join us on Sunday, October 2 at 2:00 pm EDT / 8:00 pm CEST
These are some 3D photos that I’ve made this summer during my journey through different parts of Spain. Spain is a very diverse country, full of spectacular cities, monuments and natural wonders.
Join our anniversary meeting on August 21! For this special meeting we are happy to announce that our former team member Keita Wangari will present new items of her collection including Stere-o-card, Stereo-Foto and NPG — viewer systems that were used almost exclusively for product & industry marketing in the early- to mid-1900s.
Our second presenter will be Sonia Vílchez Molina. She takes us on a virtual trip to Spain and will show some of the most representative monuments, towns and natural wonders her country in 3D.
Join us on Sunday, August 21 at 2:00 pm EDT / 8:00 pm CEST
After a short summer break we are back! Join our next meeting on July 17 when we will have a talk by Barry Rothstein how to create Phantograms and our community slideshow with your images for the WATER challenge. Join us on Sunday, July 7 at 2:00 pm EDT / 7:00 pm GMT / 8:00 pm CEST!
My stereophotography and stereoview collection are two sides of the same coin for me and have a common origin story. Travel back with me to May 2014 — London. A chance encounter on a canal boat. A question asked. An answer given. My life… transformed.
Though its popularity increased and decreased throughout the decades, the concept of stereoscopy was continuously applied to a variety of practices including medicine — even today.
Back in 1838 the concept of binocular vision had not yet been explored or written about anywhere. It was a scientist in his mid 30s who not only described the phenomenon later called stereopsis but also constructed a device to view two flat images in 3D which he called a stereoscope. This is especially remarkable as photography was not invented until one year later. Charles Wheatstone’s observations were based only on drawings. Most of these drawings are based on horizontal mirroring which is why we call them mirror stereos today. Read Wheatstone’s original source here.
The canals of Bruges have connected the city to the sea for centuries. International merchants guaranteed wealth and prosperity. Bruges soon became one of the largest Hanse cities. Until today, the medieval buildings and structures of the 15th century remained mainly intact. UNESCO designated the entire city centre as a World Heritage site in 2000.
Are you up for a challenge? We have one for you! The theme of our next community slideshow in May will be ‘LIGHT’ and you’re invited to send us your stereo photos. It can be an image including sun rays, sunsets, light art or just a cool light bulb.Besides the slideshow there will be a presentation about stereo conversions of paintings. Join us on May 8!
