Flash--
I guess it's a matter of taste. In most
(but not all) instances I prefer stereo as we view it normally, rather than
that of exaggeration.
I have the wherewithal to further separate my
cameras to achieve greater depth, but the downside is that it causes
hyperstereo,
which often makes people and objects look like
toys, and introduces divergence and rivalries.
My philosophy about the use of stereo is to
reproduce to the greatest possible extent the feeling of realism. In
most cases
I don't care for the
inclusion of depth to call attention to itself. I know that
this is a more conservative approach, but my roots are
as a photographer who usually
considers intellectual content to be more important than achieving a "wow"
factor.
I consider stereography a true and serious art
form, and neither a special effect, nor a form of eye candy. Whenever I
view someone's posting
I seek some inner meanings that go beyond
merely trying to please. That's why I'm often turned off by those
who
feel compelled to explain why they post.
Except for some background information i.e. where the view was taken, and a
little narrative
the picture should speak for itself. I don't
rule out the entertainment aspect, but for me that's a secondary
issue.
To address your concern, my cameras' lenses are
separated by more than three inches, which technically already makes them a
wide-based setup.
However, if I could get the lenses
closer, I would, in most instances.
I greatly appreciate your thoughts on this
issue.
