INTRODUCTION I Have Early Letters Between W INTRODUCTION I have early letters between W. C. Darrah and Ray Bohman discussing the collecting of stereo views and their value in the early ‘70s. Personal correspondence between collectors at that time was the only way of sharing information prior to the establishment of NSA. On December 5, 1973, Richard Russack sent a questionnaire to approximately 250 stereo collectors to see if there was an interest in forming a “stereo collector’s organization.” Rick stated, “I believe that such a group could be helpful in at least two major areas. Firstly, the newsletter of the group could serve as a clearing house for information on particular views, subjects or photographers...Secondly, the group’s newsletter could also aid collectors in disposing unwanted items and also aid in adding items...Why not a “For Trade”...and certainly a “For Sale and Wanted” section...By this time you know what I have in mind.” Richard Russack.” On January 28, 1974, an invitation was issued to about 500 names of collectors interested in stereo by Richard Russack and John Waldsmith. It also defined the contents of a proposed newsletter to be called Stereo World. During the 1980’s there was a big influx of members who were taking 3-D photographs and the magazine became more balanced between the collectors and the shooters. Tex Treadwell edited the previous index (Volumes 1 through 23) and defined his guidelines for inclusion of entries. These guidelines were a basis for my work, but I decided to start over from Vol 1, Number 1, in order to give continuity to the complete work. (However, some of the continuity was lost due to the long creation time, forgetting what I had planned and changing my mind at different stages.) It would have been beneficial to give additional information about each subject so researchers could narrow their choice of which magazine to look at first, but this, too, would have increased the subjectivity of the entry and increased the work load. Modern Photographers are listed if a photo is printed or there is a significant statement about them in the magazine. I wanted to list every mention of their name - which I did for Vintage Photographers - but time and space ruled it out. I could tell stories about the hundreds of hours we spent preparing the Index — but instead, I will just thank my lovely wife, Sherryl, for telling John Dennis she would create it and then for helping me do it; my wonderful daughter Wendy Millis, for her work on the Author/Article section; my charming granddaughter Liz Orton, for creating the html code for the electronic version; and, finally my son, Brent at Rairdin Photography, for the use of his printing facility. We guarantee you will find an occasional error or omission and that you won’t agree with all my category selections or listing of subjects. Would I change anything if I were starting over? We’ll never know — because I wouldn’t do it again! . It was fun reading more than 8,000, 3D-filled pages in 200 issues of Stereo World (several times over for each one) but… (note: it’s 1 ½ years later and here I am working on the Index again, it is now up to date through 2008). I have a great deal of appreciation for Stereo World Editor, John Dennis, and all the volunteers who have prepared the magazine for the past 34 years. I pray you will find this issue of the Stereo World Index useful.

    Kite Aerial Photography as a Tool for Remote Sensing 06/28/10 06:49:04 June 2010 Volume 48 Number 3 Article Number 3IAW7 Return to Current Issue Kite Aerial Photography as a Tool for Remote Sensing Jeff Sallee Assistant Professor/Extension Specialist [email protected] Lesley R. Meier 4-H Graduate Assistant [email protected] 4-H Youth Development Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma Abstract: As humans, we perform remote sensing nearly all the time. This is because we acquire most of our information about our surroundings through the senses of sight and hearing. Whether viewed by the unenhanced eye or a military satellite, remote sensing is observing objects from a distance. With our current technology, remote sensing has become a part of daily activities. A relatively inexpensive and practical method to have a firsthand experience with collecting remotely sensed data is kite aerial photography (KAP). KAP can be used as a geospatial tool to teach youth and adults about remote sensing. Introduction Remote sensing, as defined by Nicholas Short (2005), is the use of instruments or sensors to "capture" the spectral and spatial relations of objects and materials observable at a distance. This is how Earth's surface and atmosphere are observed, measured, and interpreted from orbit. In simpler terms, remote sensing refers to the recording, observing, and perceiving (sensing) of objects or events in distant (remote) places. It allows us to have a bird's eye view of places and features on Earth. The earliest forms of remote sensing began with the invention of the camera.

(516) 248 -5200. ~ BRONICA DELUXE ("0") The Bronica Deluxe, or "0" model was the first camera introduced by Zenza Bronica. As the forerunner of an unbroken series of 2% square SlR cameras, it incorporated many design features still not found on competitive equipment after more than 16 years. The Deluxe is easily recognized by the following key features: 1. Focusing mount integral part of body. 2. No advance crank on right side. 3. Focusing scale on upper part of advance/focus knob. 4. Speed dial on outside face of advance/focus knob. 5. Self-timer scale on left side of body. 6. Double exposure dial on right side of body. 7. 3 stud male bayonet fitting on bottom of camera body. 8. Focus lock lever on right front of body. The Deluxe has double exposure capability, shutter speeds to 1/1250th second, a 2 - 10 second self-timer which also allowed timed long expo­ sures of 2 - 10 seconds and a locking lever to lock the camera's focusing mount at any desired point. All small bayonet mount Auto-Nikkor and Zenzanon lenses fit the De luxe, as well as all five "5" series prisms and hoods. The S2A grips, however, will not fit due to the bayonet fitting on the camera base, and a special tripod adapter #81502 was required to use either of these grips. 2 BRONICA "S" This is the second model introduced by Bronica.

    The Creative Process THE SEARCH FOR AN AUDIO-VISUAL LANGUAGE AND STRUCTURE SECOND EDITION by John Howard Lawson Preface by Jay Leyda dol HILL AND WANG • NEW YORK www.johnhowardlawson.com Copyright © 1964, 1967 by John Howard Lawson All rights reserved Library of Congress catalog card number: 67-26852 Manufactured in the United States of America First edition September 1964 Second edition November 1967 www.johnhowardlawson.com To the Association of Film Makers of the U.S.S.R. and all its members, whose proud traditions and present achievements have been an inspiration in the preparation of this book www.johnhowardlawson.com Preface The masters of cinema moved at a leisurely pace, enjoyed giving generalized instruction, and loved to abandon themselves to reminis­ cence. They made it clear that they possessed certain magical secrets of their profession, but they mentioned them evasively. Now and then they made lofty artistic pronouncements, but they showed a more sincere interest in anecdotes about scenarios that were written on a cuff during a gay supper.... This might well be a description of Hollywood during any period of its cultivated silence on the matter of film-making. Actually, it is Leningrad in 1924, described by Grigori Kozintsev in his memoirs.1 It is so seldom that we are allowed to study the disclosures of a Hollywood film-maker about his medium that I cannot recall the last instance that preceded John Howard Lawson's book. There is no dearth of books about Hollywood, but when did any other book come from there that takes such articulate pride in the art that is-or was-made there? I have never understood exactly why the makers of American films felt it necessary to hide their methods and aims under blankets of coyness and anecdotes, the one as impenetrable as the other.

  • Fireworks Photography Tips Fireworks Public Displays Are Usually Best; There Are Free Ones
    Fireworks Photography Tips Fireworks Public displays are usually best; there are free ones. Stand at the back for the aerial display or at the front for the Catherine wheels. Set up in plenty of time and shoot upwind if you can. Take a torch to see the camera's settings. Full battery, big empty memory card + spare. Use a tripod – this is mandatory. Use a remote release, if you have one. Using the self-timer wastes valuable shooting time. Use a clean wide-angle lens or standard lens at widest setting; focus manually at infinity. Use a lens hood to keep off the rain and protect the lens. File type: Raw only, or Raw + JPG. Turn off the flash. Turn off Long-exposure noise reduction; otherwise you'll be just waiting half the time. Use Manual mode. ISO: 100-400 – something with not too much noise Aperture: around f8 but anything between f5.6 to f16 may suit you. Shutter speed: Bulb (with remote release) or 2 to 10 seconds Bulb: Open the shutter and wait for the firework to peter out before closing. 2-10s: Open as the fireworks are launching. Don't expose for too long, you can easily overexpose. White balance: Auto or Cloudy; it doesn't matter for RAW. Start shooting as soon as the show starts and keep going until the very end. Recompose to ensure that you are filling the frame. Vertical or horizontal and level horizon. Including the crowd or scenery often adds to the image. The last one is always a good one.
