Dear David
I wonder how my email ended up in another string, but I will repost as you suggest.
The link to stereo pictures below is from the homepage of the webmaster for the homepage of DFS, Dansk Fotohistorisk Selskab (the Danish Society of History of Photography), and that is where the 30,000 images will be placed, when I have solved the problems with MS Access working with images as an URL instead of a path on the local PC.
It is correct that the pictures in the link below are taken with a 2D camera and the so-called side step or cha-cha-cha method. You take one picture and quickly shift the weight to the right leg moving the camera app. 65 mm and take the second (right) picture. The two L/R pictures can be processed by the free software SPM, Stereo Photo MakerWith SPM you can make all kind of adjustments and mount the two pictures as parallel, anaglyph (as in this case) etc. SPM can even generate a HTML 5 Stereo Viewer with the pictures for posting on the web.
When I retired more than 20 years ago I almost totally changed to 3D photography after working part time as a photographer. I have always been interested in stereoscopic photography and have a large collection of old stereo cameras, viewers and pictures. Most of the stereo cameras and viewers on DFS's homepage http://stereoskop.objektiv.dk/ are from my collection.
However, my main interest is the old Danish stereo cards (typically 7"x3½") from about 1851 to 1930 (mainly around 1900).
In 1996, when a former member of DFS died, I took over RODS, Registrant over Danske Stereoskopbilleder (Registration of Danish Stereoscopic Pictures). In 1996 RODS consisted of app. 10,000 pictures registered on b/w negative film and a primitive IBM database. I scanned the 10,000 negatives, and converted the DB to MS Access in order to be able to show the pictures together with the relevant information (motif, photographer, year etc.). RODS has a number of predefined queries on a main menu. It is distributed with an runtime version of MS Access, and the users don't have to know about Access. Now RODS includes 27,600 records and 21,000 unique pictures.
Presently RODS is distributed on a 16GB USB stick. However, my main problem is that I have not been able to find a person, who is interested in taker over the work after me. I am 76, and it is quite a challenge to work with VBA, which I never learned. Therefore my intention is to hand RODS over to DFS placing the pictures on their homepage, with possibility to download the DB itself (10MB) with MS Access runtime. In this way the RODS will survive me hopefully for many years. It will not be updated, but it will be there.
It was nice to hear from you and your interest in stereo pictures.
Best regards
Peter
Dear Peter,
I can't help you with your query, and you might have to repost it
because it's nestled inside a string of "Joined Query" postings.
However I'm very interested in stereoscopic pictures, and from the link
in your posting I found my way to
http://www.kamerasamling.dk/stereo/haderslev%20maj%202015/index.htm?12%20haderslev.jpg
where you have some stereoscopic pictures.
It looks like the R & L pictures are not taken at precisely the same
time, and moving people show strange effects. For instance in the last
image of a street scene with circular blue traffic signs at the bottom,
there are two men walking to the right, and in each case one of their
legs is at an impossible angle. The man on the right, just about to walk
behind the building, has his foot appearing to be in front of the yellow
sign on the pavement!
Regards,
Dave W
