Twin cameras, etc.

[PHOTO3DGUY@xxxxxxx]

This net group is f a s t.  My inquiry in digest 1084 is posted 12/11/95
@10:29:38 and I get a reply from John Bercovitz at 12/11/95 @ 09:56:45.  How
is it possible you can actually answer my questions before I write them?
  I'm impressed. 

Moving right along,  I like John's comment regarding a viewer box with tubes
sticking out of it:  "You can also trip and put both your eyes out at once."
  I call that my BFS factor.  "Bumble, Fumble, Stumble",  which I seem to do
a lot.  Thanks for the disclaimer, I'll wear my swim goggles.  I wore
contacts once, didn't like it. 

I use 35mm and 50mm lens sets with my twin camera rig.  You would think after
doing this for 30 years, it would have occured to me that there would be
different viewing results with different lenses. (As you can tell, I'm not
the techie type; just like pretty pictures) 

 I attended NSA in Atlanta, and that's what got me to open up my focal points
to realize there was much much more to this 3D stuff than I thought.
 Realizing that, I might just have to start asking for directions when I'm
lost on the road. 

OOPS:  I'm new here.  Forgot about 'postponing' the mail during my vacation.
Promise, I won't let it happen again.  I'm now searching for missing digests
1071, 73, 75, 76. 

Mark Poole commented regarding shutter synch.  I have been using two Canon
T-70's for years with 1 contact switch cable release connected to each, that
I have spliced into one push button release.  Keeping fresh batteries in both
cameras at all times, it is rare that I do not stop action.  Flapping flags,
running horses, ocean waves, all freeze in synch.   I utilize a tripod
whenever possible, and a level, since I'm a little off the beam anyway.
 However, with the cameras mounted on their nice sturdy slide bar that I
bought from Reel-3D I hand held many many shots.  I've lugged this thing
through Disney World in Florida three times, Florida, Alaska Inland Passage
via Ferry Boats, Hawaii, almost every National Park in the American
Southwest.  I am now buried in slides in pages, slides in boxes, and busting
at the seams with over 200 carousel trays.  My big problem is that I am
obsessed with taking pictures. I love them. I look at them, and then off to
take more pictures.  (I'll label and index them later, I've always said.
Let's hope I live long enough and don't loose my memory). At some point in my
life it would be nice to share with others all this fun and expense. (and
yes, I am finally considering actually making a couple of bucks somehow off
this vast repository; at least enough to help me continue "feeding my habit".
     :>}   (photo-habit that is;  non-smoker, non-drugger here; life's tough
enough without adding on that baggage). 

PS: Is there a directory of photo-3d@xxxxxx  people:  Real Names, E-mail
addresses, and photo3d interests, specialties, background/history of person.
 (Kind of like they do in the NSA directory).   Just wondering.  Mark Poole's
3d autobiography was so interesting it would be nice for that type of info to
be preserved 
in a 3D-Who's Who's Who (because Who's Who is for 2D'ers).
