Everything went well and I only forgot one thing, my light meter.

Sensitized two half plates before I left for downtown Oakland. The first test shot is of the Lionel J. Wilson building and came out pretty good, decided to keep it.

By the time I got to my second exposure the sun changed quite a bit and a large shadow moved across the building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the winter I think I’ll try and be a little mobile… SF is next.

RELAX your eyes looking right between the two. Let the two images converge crossing your eyes slightly. Your should see three images with the one in the middle popping out in 3D.
