Works really well, good execution!
I think these are called hyper stereo. From Wikipedia: Longer base line for distant objects – "Hyper Stereo" |

I really like the first one. I love the shadow patterns and also that the distant background is out of focus, a wonderful stereo shot. You should stray more often from your close up photography, which is essentially perfect already.
The others feel a bit unnatural to me, like the layers of a Diarama and I can hardly see any 3D in the distant mountains. I think if you choose the stereobase very wide it's good to try and capture objects at a similar distance. It gets confusing, if they're spread out too much (varying too much in distance), but that's just speculation (I hope that's ok, I'd rather learn by doing and by examples than to get lost in technicalities). _________________ My Outlet

Going looking for pseudoscorpions leeds to failure. This one appeared in 2019 when I was photographing some slime moulds at 1:1 with my Olympus EM-1. I fitted my Photar 25mm, at f11 or f16, on the extension for FOV ca 3.5mm wide but that proved too difficult for framing. I shortened the extension to give a FOV 5mm wide. Even with this, locating the subject again after e.g. repositioning the flash, was very difficult, even when the pseudoscorpion obligingly settled in one place for most of the session.
The images have been cropped moderately.

Thanks a lot! Didn't know that.

Thank you! Indeed - the lack of depth in the mountains was suprising to me as well, but I think there could be multiple reasons for that. One being the great distance and the 90 degree angle, another one the lighting... I think the foreground was in direct sunlight, while the mountains had clouds above them, making lighting extremely flat and shadows almost absent there. It was also shot from a moving train, so the distance between the two shots is pretty big.

I agree that it feels more like a diorama than real life, but I don't necessarily dislike it. I feel like there might be more suitable scenes for it though... _________________ ---

Here are another 3 more from my Olympus EM-1 and the Schneider HM 40mm at f16, triple flash.

Slime mould, nice stuff (to look at in stereo). I particularly like the slime mold "guy" in the first picture . _________________ My Outlet

The Americans call this one "carnival candy slime mold".

Thanks! I found it quite interesting, even though I'm still having trouble using it effectively... Fortunately it wasn't expensive, as it's not a "known" lens. It's actually the only one like it that I've seen so far. I suspect it might be optically similar or idential to the Arriflex Xenon 75 mm f/2, however that one has an aperture and is usually quite pricey. _________________ ---

Interesting change in taking position.
Took my road test in a '72 351-C T-Bird. Despite the massive size, one of the easiest cars to drive for me. Powerful, but no where near as fast as the slightly later big block X-L series.
