P3D Depth

[Bob_Maxey@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

>>In one paragraph, George has distilled what in my opinion is the
greatest deficiency in stereo photography as it is practiced today...
namely that the overwhelming majority of the stereo shots I've seen and
the stereo photographers I've met are far more concerned with the
depiction of depth than the creation of a fine photograph.


I must ask this question: Isn't creating depth the biggest reason to use
stereo in the first place? Stereo is different than flat photography, it
has depth. We shoot for depth, we like depth, depth is what we do. The
ability to convey depth is what adds to a fine photograph, and I cant see
why somehow would think that by being concerned with depth is somehow
wrong. How many of the members of this list look at a really nice flat
photograph and wonder how much more interesting the photo would be if done
in stereo? Most I suggest. And if you say that depth figures prominently in
your photographs, then you too are concerned with depth.

So, shoot and stop worrying what people think. If you like depth, too much
depth, absolutely no depth, hyper this, hypo that and pseudo all the time,
who Freaking Cares. do you shoot for the popular idea of what makes a good
photograph or do you shoot because it pleases you?
