I learned about Phil Glatz and his DIY rig for taking 3D digital photos. I thought to myself, as I watched the episode of the Scobel Show: Photowalking 5: Thomas Hawk takes us around Sacramento Train Museum, Part I, here is a guy who is brilliant. Phil took two inexpensive Kodak cameras, made a rig for them and can now take digital images that he can make 3D.
Phil details his project on his blog in a post titled Dimensional photography on the cheap. In that post you can learn how to make your own rig, where to get the 3D software and you can find other great 3D photography tips.
Phil also has a gallery of his 3D images. There is a gallery of images from that Scobel Show. The gallery is titled At the Railway Museum.
Photo Walking. I had not heard of this before but I read on Scoble’s blog about a photo walking tour in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Thomas Hawk leads this Photo Walk around the city’s Chinatown district. Photo Walking sounds like a very fun activity and is something I would really like to try doing with Allison or the two of us with a group.
I found a website about Photo Walking in Boston. I may sign up to go and do a tour. That would be a great way to learn the city and have a photographic tour of what you saw while in the City. Watch the Scoble show to find out more about Photo Walking.
I was also thinking that I could couple a Photo Walk with one of National Geographic Traveler Magazine’s Walks of a Lifetime Podcasts and do a self guided Photo Walk. I hope that one of my trips coincides with on of the places I have a podcast for. When I do a Photo Walk I’ll be posting it. Be on the lookout for it. Even Allison is excited about doing this sometime.
I posted this too quickly, Scoble has a whole category of Scoble Shows with Photo Walking as the subject. I just subscribed to that feed. And when I get home my Video iPod is getting loaded with Photo Walking podcasts.
