I'm in Dubai for a job and it'll be Dubai horse fair this coming week-end. The Sheik's best stallions will be there. Too bad I don't have a pair of cameras here!!!

Nice 3D effect. How do you do to trick the brain? you slightly skew them to give apparent points of wiew? Or, were they shot as pairs from the onset?

Hi Ron. Using a two lens camera. In this case I used film. The recent digital effects usually come from two cameras side by side at eye spacing.

The pictures of the rockies above were shot around 500m-1000m apart (4-6 seconds of flight at 400-500km/h)  As there was nothing close to the aricraft, it was possible to widen the distance between the two pictures to improve the depth perception.  They're mounted for crossed eyes viewing.

Or by one of the few newer models like the discontinued Fuji model. I used one from the fifties that was once very popular. And I mount and view them in a lighted viewer. A fascinating subject to look into. Dubai sounds interesting.

David White company Stereo Realist model made in the 1950s for 35mm film. Still functional.
