Fotografie in Stereo

[Jan Böttcher]

Solutions 1 & 2 cannot do what I do, which is to keep the centre of the subject +/- the same in both frames, mimicing how the eyes angle inwards for close or, for many of mine, very close subjects.

Life is a long row of missed opportunities and a collection of compromises.
[Das Leben ist eine lange Aneinanderreihung von verpaßten Gelegenheiten und eine Sammlung von Kompromissen]

In theory the ideal stereo camera should shift the lenses inward when focusing closer (or we crop the frames to simulate the effect). If we angle the lenses inward, we get perspective distortion that might become distracting in some intances.
