Gary/Joe/Barry- Turnabout being fair play, I wanted to comment on how impressed I was with BVP's hand-drawn/3D modeling solution... -Don

Here are some sites that talk about the process: Making your own 3M Photos I presently use four methods to generate 3D images of the real world. I refer to the real world to differentiate from computer generated 3D, such as ray traced images. The four methods I employ utilize a standard camera, a video camera, a scanner, and a QX3 USB microscope. http://www.3dphoto.net/text/taking/taking.html Digital Stereo Photography The art and science of twin camera digital stereo photography. This site features digital stereo photographic pairs, along with practical details for creating your own digital stereo photographs: techniques, cameras, controllers, flash, sync monitors, and mounts. http://www.ledametrix.com/ http://www.studio3d.com/pages/stereophoto.html http://www.photostuff.co.uk/stereo.htm http://home.att.net/~osps/tutorial/ There are quite a few more sites on the web that talks about 3D photos and even a 3D forum.

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. _________________________________________________________________ Get free photo software from Windows Live http://www.windowslive.com/online/photos?ocid=PID23393::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:SI_PH_software: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] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
