This book does not teach you how to take 3D Photos. What it does teach is how to make them great, by using the best separation or stereo base for every situation. In this easy to follow explanation, all the factors of stereo base calculation are described. Then you will learn some insider secret "keep-it-simple" tricks you can use instantly, in any situation, to figure out the perfect separation for the stereo.
It can be hard to get the stereo base right. For that reason it is important that you understand what happens in various scenes and why the stereo base sometimes has to be reduced by 50% or even doubled. Guess wrong and the base can be off by as much as a factor of 4 times, resulting in either flat looking stereos or, worse, stereos that are difficult or impossible to fuse. So, you will discover these insider tips and secrets that will take away the stress and make it easy to select the right stereo base.
You will also discover the reasons why your stereo base sometimes "seems right", but the finished stereo is a disaster. All you need to know is "How to Keep it Simple."TABLE OF CONTENTSCalculating the Stereo BaseWhat is Stereo Base?The Separation FactorConditions Affecting the Stereo BaseTotal Scene DepthFocal Length of Viewing MethodFocal Length of the Camera LensCropping Changes the Focal LengthStereo Base for DummiesPractical Application ExampleThe Bottom Line - Keep It SimpleExcessive DeltaOther ConsiderationsI'll get you started fast, but I don't skip steps.
