P3D latest beamsplitter shot



I just got back a roll of Kodachrome 64 from my August trip.

I am looking at a full-length stereo portrait of my favorite subject.
Whatever else you want to say about "tall and narrow," it is perfect
for this kind of shot. Olympus OM-10, 50mm f/1.8 lens, 81A filter,
Pentax beamsplitter, f/4, and the shutter speed the camera chose,
which gave a perfect exposure. No way would she have waited for any
kind of metering. She is leaning against a tree in her back yard.
There is a dreamy smile on her face. The picture is sharp--center,
edges, corners. There isn't a trace of any edge darkening (the secret--
shoot at f/4 with the splitter spaced out by a filter or spacer ring).
I was able to shoot a whole series of poses with her fabulous range of 
facial expressions and some really cool motion blur effects with her 
hands, arms, and feet--without worrying about film cost
[this is where I'm at--no choice].

I'm very happy.
