View Askew 3D Architecture 1

£19.95

While experimenting with stereography, Ethel discovered that architectural photography is extremely effective in the 3D format. This book shows off buildings as they have never been seen before. Though the images are stunning as they are, when the red-cyan glasses are donned, the pictures seem to jump off the page. The 72 full-colour pictures really do make you feel as if you are actually there.

Description

This book is a compilation of pictures of unusual buildings and their overlooked details that, with the aid of red-cyan glasses, can be viewed in stereoscopic 3D. There’s something about angles and curves of the built environment that lend themselves to photography. Getting verticals right, focussing on quirks such as weird stucco faces on top of offices and noticing asymmetrical windows hiding in corners are all part of the challenges in depicting architecture. These details are things most passers-by almost never see. Trust the keen photographer to discover them.

All of these pictures are in portrait, or upright format. Intriguing in themselves, what makes them even more interesting however, is to see them in a three-dimensional anaglyph (red-cyan) format. Things that most people don’t notice are often the aspects that the photographer wants to show. Trivialities in a normal view often become the standout feature in a stereoscopic one.  With the red-cyan glasses included with each book, the reader has the option to see these weird architectural worlds in both two and three dimensions.
