When I first got into 3D photography a number of years ago, I was using a regular 35mm SLR and the so called 'cha cha' method with slide film. Basically sequential 3D shooting. Although the results were great, I was very limited with the sort of subjects I could shoot. I was restricted to static scenes with no movement.
About a year ago, I purchased an old stereo camera that was manufactured during the 1950s. This allowed the shooting of subjects with movement. Not long ago, I exposed a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film with the camera. This is one of the stereo pairs I captured with that film (cross-eye version.) The subject is a beach at Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island in South Australia, Australia.
I actually didn't know the lab was going to scan the film after developing. I gave instructions to a family member who dropped off the film to the lab but I did not request scanning. The thing is that this camera exposes frames that are considerably narrower than standard sized frames on 35mm film. And the lab scanned the frames as if they were 'full frame.' So many of the digitised pictures are chopped up into small bits. Occasionally, there are whole frames. That beach cross-eye above is one of the very few stereo pairs that I was able to salvage from the butchered scans.
