Thank you Mr. Williams for the details on how to shoot night cityscapes.
We, at photo-3d, are interested in doing the same thing but in 3d.
Do you have any ideas, suggestions, etc?  Sounds like two cameras
in different tripods, well aligned and syncronized might be the way
to go but it is *very* difficult to do it right.  Takes a lot of 
dedication.  Perhaps you can try it and let us know how it worked out.
