I'm learning, that to take stereo landscapes, it's often necesary to separate the camera positions by more than just the distance tetween one's eyes. The general term for this, at least as I find on the web, is "wide based" stereo. My first thought was to make a simple wooden bar with a slide to mount the camera, that would mount on my cheap tripod.It worked on a few tests here at home but it was a disaster on my vacation. Wind, a different camera's weight and uneven ground proved how wrong my simplistic approach was.
I did manage a couple of decent shots. Here's are some set up for parallel viewing. I suppose these should be called medium based stereos as the seperation for most was three feet.
