Editor's Note: This month we have two contributions from Elliott Swanson: More information on his synced digital Sony cameras and another of his Macro Realist projects.

March 2004 Edition

By Elliott Swanson

New bar for Sony F-717 rig. Stereo base adjusts from 65mm to 150mm. Actually, by using an alternate set of bars I made, it can go much wider. This was designed to allow the use of an outboard flash unit, or, use of the onboard flash. The camera in the right in the picture has the bar modified so the Sony flash will deploy.

Here's a snapshot of the new macro camera I've been working on, finished. I built this as a trade for one of the Stereo Breeze digital cameras Larry Heyda is building, since I'm too broke to buy one. Also a low resolution snapshot taken with my camera (bicycle gears). (Note: Cross-eyed Views)
