3D Photography
Basic Categories
See the sample image links below to view images which help define the categories
In 3d photography (stereo photography), the choices of stereo base and distance to subject depend critically on the amount of depth in the subject.  Here we attempt to define three basic categories of subjects based on the amount or arrangement of depth in the subject.  The three categories are:
   
 
Sample Images
 
"1. Surfaces or planes parallel to the stereo window"  

 

 
Sample Images
 
"2. Objects and cavities with a near background or no background"  


Sample Images
  
"3. Relationships of objects in space  

 


Image Contest
Rather than describe these categories in great detail, we hope to illustrate the range of these categories with a set of images .  Therefore, we are reviving our image competitions which were very successful a few years ago.  If you would like to participate in these competitions, you are encouraged to submit images which are not only nice images, but which also help better define the categories above as you interprete them.  You may want to view the sample images to get an initial idea of the scope of each category.  Also we encourage you to submit an image in each category if you have images for each category.

Generally, we prefer receiving digital images where each side of the stereo pair will fill an entire computer screen.  Therefore we appreciate receiving at least 1280 pixels width for each side of the pair.  We will not put these high resolution images on the web and we do not assume to own the copyright on the images.  We may put lower resolution images up to 640 pixel width per side on our website.  However, we assume that for images submitted to us, permission is granted to us to use the full resolution images in educational presentations where the images may be projected with polarized projectors.

The prizes for these competitons and the details of the administration of the competition is still being worked out.
