Talk:Stereo photography techniques

Untitled
Want to commend the person who edited this article for so completely obscuring the mathematics, geometry and physics of stereo photography. As this gives me the advantage of continuing to be the producer of the most consistantly (and to use your word) impressive 3d photography for the forseeable future I do not intend to improve this article. 98.164.90.210 (talk) 11:01, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

You have to keep NPOV in mind and also the fact that there are separate subsections for hyperstereo and variable base stereo photography. Not everyone has the same goal in mind and there is value in giving a natural impression rather than always trying to present a certain amount of depth regardless of the distance to the subject. Just as color photography doesn't always require bright contrasting colors.

You also need to keep in mind that "how to" information is not within the scope of Wikipedia.  John Alan Elson  ★  WF6I A.P.O.I. 12:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

You also need to keep in mind that nobody is disputing the fact that a variable base is needed if your goal is to produce constant depth contrast regardless of the distance from the subject, but whether such techniques are "better" than an approach that aims for a more natural stereo impression is a matter of opinion, and this is not the appropriate place for such a discussion.

What does "viewed using a viewing method that duplicates the conditions under which the picture is taken" mean. We both know what it means but the way you wrote that article it's meaningless, as well as idiotic. To wit; an image taken from a "condition" of 20 feet from a statue would have to have a viewing "condition" of 20 feet to look "ortho", in other words, like it does in real life. Or if the image is of a building 300 feet away the "condition" would be 300 feet. Ridiculous. You minimize that idiocy it by saying that you can't "exactly" match the same conditions just as you can't match colors but you can get a good approximation. Your article is about as accurate as saying a black and white picture gets a good approximation of a color picture. That is to say, not at all accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.66.16 (talk) 05:56, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
