Joe- When I was with Alaska's Forestry Science Lab, we used a single digital camera, took two images with the same center focus, about 18" apart, and then used stereoscopes (like for aerial photography) to get the 3D effect. Works! The old-time device you were thinking of is called a stereo-opticon...my grandmother had one and the magic was not lost on us kids, we loved it...I still do...:>} -Don

The sight is inspirational. When I go to the Algonquin Pines, I frequent the location of this image. There is a substantial difference between looking up into the canopy of 90 to 100-foot trees versus those near and above 150. This brings me to a point. Ahhh.. beautiful canopy shots. Here's a few good ones I've gotten in Ohio. #1 Is looking up into a ~120' Tulip trees in Mohican State Forest. #2 Is a grove ~140+' white pines in Hocking Hills State Forest. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=PID23384::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:NF_BR_sync:082009 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
