Good choice of stereo window. It works for me. And image size is perfecto. Could you offer a choice of cross eye and parallel eye I am thinking..I like scenes like this,and some day it will be treasured,maybe shots of what remains of the Big Dig.

This is perhaps your best experiment with infrared. Clouds and water seem to do well. The composition was good,the winding stream adds interest, and that helps. Buildings less so in my opinion. Infrared is a picky subject from what I see..a little goes a long way. Be well,your humble and obedient,etc,and photofriend,GS -
Good 3-D, perhaps overexaggeration of depth by putting the bird outside the stereo window, and by its overexposure vis a vis the little girl. A little more subtlety is often preferred in stereoscopy. The parakeet is one beeeg parakeet,sure it is not a cockatiel?:-) -
Frankly a little hokey. The mirror image is not synchronous with the other one...perhaps if the mirror masked shot were looking to the left a bit more it would hold together...but a good experiment. Your balance of exposure,if this was a slide scan is superb. That is something I haven't investigated with my hundreds of slides still in boxes and only for the select guest. I do not favor cross eye viewing,but the alternatives are limited in sizing,and anaglyphs are for the birds...GS..yes,
stereo can be a hooked experience...maybe try a black and white conversion,for more "noir" impact.

In my not inexperienced opinion,your chosen stereo window- via cross eye free viewing- chops the foreground sheets, a viewing no no. Not recommended for best viewing pleasure or comfort by the guys that know in "Stereo World,"the NSA journal. A mounting discrepancy that can be corrected and I would suggest same. Color and balance are good, subject is interesting. Bravo on this one, I bet mom loves it...Check out Stereo World if you haven't discovered same,plus the magazine Stereoscopy of the ISU. Subtlety of 3-D effect is most desirable is what I am hinting at. Good luck with your stereoscopic work and laudable efforts to introduce it to the planar bunch here. I bought my first used Realist from Levine/Crimson Camera on Harvard Square in 1956...still got that brick..

Very sharp image,although the direct undiffused flash on the camera is kind of dull and clinical. Got a flash bracket? The stereo effect is powerful,even as the Realist overexaggerates interocular distance...the head sticking out of the window,-where is the stereo window-are not totally becoming in stereo. (I would have mounted the pair slightly different.) Other than that,it is good to see someone has discovered that 1950s cameras still work. Too bad Kodachrome 25 is no longer common,the ultimate stereo slide film. I forget what you used,didnt check. Good scanning tho,even illumination of both images,overall good job. Bravo,photofriend.

Not bad. A little gimmicky and unoriginal,but not bad.

Very elegant,simple, subdued coloring and background. Reminiscent of Jan Saudek of Prague's work if you know him. I am not sure about the necklace touch, have to think about it more. It does have a classic feel,Alexey. Good work. -
I like Tomek's recrop too. Maybe this is a case of mammary glands versus a lovely face for attention. (I never thought I'd write that but I think so) If she were more,really more of a nude torso pose,my thoughts would be altogether different. Also,glamour for this lady might be something a little different.But if she liked it,hey. -

I always thought the wild turkey deserves to be our national bird. But the eagle is here to stay.
And this is a pleasant image of one in action. Wonder if there was a rodent at touchdown point. Good shot.

I like this little guy. You know tree frogs are usually thimble sized where I live. A good macro shot. I like it. Thanks for the opportunity to comment. The background color could not be better and I know that took some maneuvering to get...GS

Agree that the midrange is a little muddy and the levels adjustment corrects that and brings out the intensity of the child's gaze which gets a little lost in the original by lack of contrast. I hope you agree withe the tweak. Bailey/aka Z,did right,per my own sort of calibrated NEC monitor (another variable is monitor thing I am led to believe.) In olden days,when stuff got souped, one had to adjust the enlarging filter contrast level, a tiresome process for me and others. Photoshop does it in seconds, and even with the fifty dollar programs like the Corels it works wonders.Do let all know how you feel,Nick. A good effort in the People category.

Mac is my late father in law, a veteran of Iwo Jima,with his only beard experiment. Shot in masquerade by means of that magical Speed Finder they use to make for the Canon F-1. A marvelous piece of gear I bought in Hong Kong. Sold the whole F-1 system except the great 100 mm portrait lens,which I still have. This is a scan from an old Cibachrome print. The eyes are visible in the print. But it is that Irish nose and fuzz that I remmember best about Bill McLaughlin, the former town marshall of Chillicothe, Illinois. -
Yes, the look is that of the befogged passenger, in this instance a nicely attired (compared to the usual Hawaii vacationers) flight attendant awaiting a standby call from Portland to Honolulu. I made her acquaintance on the flight,obtained name,and may try to do a better piece of work in a better setting. That said, aint it fun to people watch in terminals vice a boring novel. The ethics of surreptitious shooting are another question. Haven't lost a wink on that one. Gerry

An easy model to work with helps. Little stray light spot cloned out,thanks for reminder and thanks to Adobe Corporation,too...
-
Simple and strong. Good photo. -
It isn't easy to get it all in. You did a good job. I wish one could see just a little more of the cables in front,but realize that depended on the lighting and exposure. Overall a finely balanced view of one of my favorite city's memorable spans,Norm.

Exquisite series,Maxim. Disagreement= not unusual,eh what. Informal polls show 80% will accept this as POW. 10% vote it kitschy. Balance still undecided.But. All find the model aethereally beautiful, and you have embellished her by this fantasy of photo art. Congratulations,I see a great career,envious of your talent I am. Thanks for opportunity to comment. GS -
I doubt if Hurell could have executed something with the finesse you show here. My hearty congratulations. Sure,one could look at the pieces. Looking at the whole,the gestalt,it sure works for me. The interior space and the exterior space are well defined,giving the intimacy effect. The exterior space,the light source is a little crowded,and if I block the picture with my hand,it is more intimate,and sensual and voyeuristic. Now,tell us what this body painting is all about in this instance. And how it works,or give us a better link. Tell,tell,spill all for us netskys,elves,and harpies...Aloha Gerry

A pleasant image indeed. Those shoulders deserve emphasis they got in the portrait.I myself am not such a big fan of diffused portraits,but I know that is what sells. Good image. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.Gerry -
Are these the gloves worn by the mistress of the Lord of Ballantrae when she visited the Plantation House? Without context,what can one say. Do you like it,and why? I don't see anything here. Thanks for comment opportunity. You got some other good stuff. You need an editor to help,or marry one. I have same at home. Less is more she tells me. Gerry,Mililani Town,HI
