concentrate on photography. That's what I've done!  I don't think I have 
ever used a ruler for my macro stereos!  No 1/30 rules, nothing! Just a 
blend of intuition, experience and common sense.  Maybe a bit of trial 
and error too. I had enough science in school and real life. This is a 
hobby, not a job!  It is fun!!!<<<<

BALDERDASH! Great Stereo is possible without math, and George said it 
well: Intuition, experience and common sense.<<<<

Here! Here! And the topic has come full circle. We are now back where we 
started. "Don't Worry, Shoot Happy." Learn the basics behind stereo 
photography in general and then get out there and just do it! Enjoy! As 
a PSA three-star stereo photographer whose majority of work is macro and 
who has NEVER used a ruler, calculator, or other measuring device when 
taking the picture, I echo the above comments. It can be done.

Regards.
