The Depth of High Mountains
Hiking offers many opportunities for landscape stereo-photography. Due to the diverse scale of the objects, from small, beautiful flowers, to trees, to entire mountain regions it is possible to take a large variety of stereo-photos. My favourite stereos are the hyperstereos of mountains. But with baselines this large (ranging between 5~100 Metres), there are multiple things (clouds, people and moving shadows, cast by clouds, or even the earth’s rotation) which make this type of stereo-photography challenging. But with some practice a photographer can develop methods to counter these phenomena, and once you do, the results speak for themselves.
