Re: Babies in 3-d

[fj834@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. George A. Themelis)]

Something to think about before you make the important decision on how 
to photograph your children in a way that it may mark their life one day:
 
As a proud father of two children 4 and 7, stereographed from hour one 
to yesterday, I can assure you that nothing beats a 3-d close-up slide 
of a baby taken indoors with a flash.  Most classic stereo cameras 
become point & shoot with a modern flash in auto mode, fixed aperture 
(say f8), 1/50th speed and focus at 6 feet (I said "close-up").
 
A good 3-d close-up of your first-born will be treasured for years to 
come and will be genuinely enjoyed by your coworkers.  Even though my 
baby pictures are for our family collection, two of them have won 
awards in Detroit last year when the subject was humor.
