Stereo
Photography simply refers to two pictures of the
a subject taken at the same time from different
places. This can be done with a stereo
camera which has two lenses and one shutter,
with one camera that is shifted to the side or
with two similar cameras which are mounted side
by side.
There
are various ways to view a stereo picture.
The most common are the anaglyph and the
parallel view.
The
view on the right is a parallel. This is
the format of the Stereo View Cards that were
popular in the early 1900s. It can be
viewed with a stereoscope or with a number of
updated devices. Many people can free view
the pictures.
