Preparing for the ride Mike and Colton preparing for the ride among numerous bikes at the track. This is a 3D image and requires a pair of special "Anaglyph" glasses to properly view the image. This was shot with my twin Canon cameras.
Brad and Rob jumping Brad Sears and Rob Miller jump simultaneously side by side. This is an anaglyph picture made from scanning a stereo slide taken with my Revere Stereo33 camera. I could not figure out how to get my new scanner to scan at high resolution, so the large picture is a little fuzzy. I'll fix this later, but wanted to put this picture up so you could see something. Use anaglyph glasses to view it in 3D.
Marc gets air This picture was made by scanning a stereo slide (both left and right slide images) and combining the two images into an anaglyph. The original image was taken with a Revere stereo camera made in the 1950's. The movie below shows this whole jump from approach to landing.
Marc gets big air This is a 2D picture taken with one of the two Canon digital cameras I use on a bar to take stereo pictures. Due to my inability to fire both cameras at precisely the same moment in time, I can't use them to take stereo pictures of scenes with this much movement going on. No glasses required to view this one.
