3-D Photography
Whether it be
location, studio, or table-top photography, 35mm, medium
or large format... you can be assured that New Vision
Technology can assist you in meeting your needs, budget
and deadline.
In
addition to the demanding requirements of normal
photography, 3-D photography requires additional skill
and experience. Let me briefly explain a few of the
basics:Stereo
Pair
3-D
photography requires that a stereo pair of images be
shot. This requires a camera, or cameras that are
perfectly synchronized and have matching lenses. In some
cases, where the subject or scene is not moving, a single
camera can be used in conjunction with a slide bar to
move the camera from one position to another.
NVT
uses a variety of special cameras for various situations
and/or several custom slide bars that they have
manufactured for there own use.
Stereo
Base
The
stereo base is the actual distance between the two
lenses, two cameras, or shift between the taking of
images. This distance is determined by a mathematical
formula that is relative to the focal length of the
lenses, the distance to the nearest object in the scene,
the location of infinity, and the final use and purpose
of the image. This knowledge is critical toward producing
a pair of stereo images that will be representative of
the original scene, and be easily viewable by your
audience.
Cropping
& Mounting
Once the images are acquired they must be adjusted to
allow easy viewing by your audience. Both images must be
shifted, then cropped or masked precisely in order to set
the “Stereo Window”. NVT uses a number of
techniques to accomplish this task including the use of a
slide duplicating compound table that is accurate within
�.001".
Once the images are adjusted they are mounted in the
appropriate format mounts, i.e. Realist, Pin-Registered
2x2 Glass Mounts, or Medium Format Stereo Pairs.
Viewing
Of
course no project is complete unless your intended
audience can view the images. NVT offers a number of
solutions for this, including our own foldable, pop-up
viewer, custom View-Master reels,
dynamic multi-image presentations, anaglyph
printing capabilities, as well as a variety of
standard stereo viewers.
As with many
things in life... It's never really quite as simple as it
may seem on the surface. 3-D photography is indeed a
combination of Art and Science.

ever-changing selection of my images are available for
