A recent unearthing of one of the earliest images of a family visiting Stonehenge, in stereoscopic 3-D, has lead to the rediscovery of an eminent family of photographers and artists from Salisbury. We explore the history of Henry Brooks, his photographic studio and his family.
I thought it'd be nice to share my small collection of glass positives taken in the Alps in the early 1900s, with a Jules Richard Verascope camera.
The 4th International Stereoscopic and Immersive Media Conference's timetable is now available online. There are Keynote speakers, parallel sessions, a virtual exhibition, a short stereoscopic film festival, an auction, the launch of the Carlos Relvas' Stereo Raisonné and collector's choice short clips. All of this is online over 4 days, the 11th, 12th, 18th and 19th June 2021. You may even see some familiar faces!
To celebrate two years of The Stereoscopy Blog we're going to have a play with StereoPhoto Maker and make a panning stereoview video; these work really well on wide landscape stereoviews and are ideal for use on smartphones and social media. I'm writing it step-by-step and as there are so many steps involved you may want to bring a picnic/sleeping blanket for this one!

The article 'What is Stereoscopy and Why is it Important to Photography Today?' is now available.
A Kickstarter campaign has been launched today for the Minuta Stereo camera by Oczkostereo, aimed at bringing the magic of stereo photography back to a wider audience.

This is the video I shared during the 'A Celebration of Stereoscopic 3D - Part the Second' event. It's a very quick (literally) guide about how to get started in analogue stereo photography, which is much more difficult now than it used to be. I am definitely no Stan White, I just really enjoy analogue photography, but I hope the video might inspire some future Stan Whites to pick up analogue cameras and get shooting.
The National Stereoscopic Association has announced that this year's Virtual 3D-Con 2021 will take place on the 12th - 15th August.
