STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY
 from New Zealand

version - 12/03/19

A personal record of things I have learned about stereoscopic photography: by experimenting, doodling on the backs of envelopes and reading. If others find it useful, jolly good. If the knowledgeable fix errors, (as Frank Di Marzio notably did) even better. Anticipated corrections are the main reason for putting it all on the web.
2nd Edition of the stereo web site. 2012

This first edition web site is badly outdated and is being re-written. So far the only useful pages you can access on the second edition are
digital stereo camera rigs

Stereo roundness

Others are being gradually added and show up on the top menu

Anaglyphs can fill the screen and are excellent for showing stereoscopic panoramas
