<p>Thanks Mark. Good constructive comments. After doing a bit more reading on Photo.Net, it appears that landscapes can be photo'd in 'stereo' very effectively by setting the cameras several feet apart. I'm going to try shooting some short-range landscapes with the twin Hasselblads set around 3 feet apart. And then also some much longer-range landscapes with the cameras set about 6 feet apart (which will require something like transporting a 2x4 out to the site, strapped to my motorcycle, but this will take some planning). So this is a work in process.<br> Thanks again for your comments and continued interest. <br> NSM / Hua Hin</p> <p> </p>

<p>This one is shot with the twin Hasselblads again, but with 50mm lenses, again at f22 for about 8 seconds (using dim ambient lighting). Tough to hold a pose like that for 8 seconds, but they did a good job of it. I like the perspective and coverage of the 50mm lenses more than the 80mm's, so plan to set up a few more shots using the 50's. </p> <p>NSM / Hua Hin</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a picture of Adam Urbanos at the Sugarburg Bar in Brooklyn, shot with twin Minolta Autocords, 75mm at f22 for about 5 seconds.<br> NSM / Hua Hin</p> <div></div>

<p>Here's another twin Hasselblad 80mm f22 set of negatives. Picture of the front yard under rather intense midday sunlight. (Again, posted at 1200 pixels to hopefully achieve a better 'stereo' perspective). <br> <br />Regards, NSM / Hua Hin</p><div></div>

<p>The stereo photos of the Pa La U Stream are intentionally 1200 pixels wide, in order to provide a better (well, in my view anyway) perspective for the 'stereo' effect. This set is also displayed such that the RH Camera shot the LH Negative, and the LH Camera shot the RH Negative (as viewed on the screen). <br> I've done some shots with twin Minolta Autocords (75mm, at F22). They work pretty well too. However, the best arrangement seems to be twin Hasselblads with 50mm lenses at f22, and exposed for several seconds (using ISO 100 B&W film). The Hassy shots I've displayed thus far are all with 80mm lenses. I will try to dig up one of the 50mm shots for comparison. <br> My thanks to JDM for his constructive and helpful comments and explanations. Thanks to Mark Zell also for his explanation of the cross-eyed method. Hope that method works for everyone, as I know it is difficult for some people. <br> <br />Regards<br> NSM / Hua Hin</p> <p> </p>

<p>Art<br> If I remember correctly, I used f22 on all of these shots. I will try to post a couple more in the next few hours tonight (Thailand time). <br> <br />Question for you guys that know more about this than I do: Does it make a difference whether you scan and align the Left Negative (from the LH Camera) and Right Negative (from the RH Camera), or not. I tried it both ways when I was originally scanning and viewing the shots, and it seemed to display better (using the cross-eyed method) when I placed the negative from the RH Camera on the Left Side, and the negative from the LH Camera on the Right Side. <br> Your comments / criticisms will be appreciated. <br> <br />Thanks for viewing<br> NSM /Hua Hin</p><div></div>

<p>Sorry. Having trouble uploading dual-negative shots that are wide enough to view acceptable in 'stereo' while still meeting the Forum requirements for size. Will try again tomorrow. NSM</p><div></div>

<p>These are 'stereo' shots using twin Hasselblads w 80mm lenses at f22 and exposed for several seconds. The cameras are mounted about five inches apart (to center of lenses) on a strip of aluminum flat stock and locked down on a sturdy tripod. </p><div></div>
