Refocus That Please - by Bill Moll

This month’s program will be Club Competition, planning for the 4th Georgia 3D Fest and a demonstration of the updated Tri Delta beam splitter.  For club competition, each member can submit up to 4 Realist-format stereo slides and four stereocards.  If you submit over/under cards, you must bring a viewer.  We will also do preliminary planning for the 4th Georgia 3D Fest to be held on Saturday, February 10.

 

Larry Heyda will demonstrate the 3D Advantage V1000 and other updated versions of the Tri Delta beam splitter from the 1950s.  These beam splitters have adjustable mirrors, fit digital cameras and do all sorts of amazing things (http://www.freewebs.com/larryeda/ for the high tech version). This will be first, since there are no shades in the room.

 

The meeting is the 3rd Friday of this month –October 13. We will meet at 7:30 PM at the Congregational Church @ 2676 Clairmont Road (about 1 1/2 blocks south of I-85) This is the Church up the winding road, through the woods.  If you have any questions, call Bill Moll @ 706-859-7726.

 

September meeting report:

There were about 12 attendees.  Mike Griffith entertained us with his great summer finds and amazing knowledge/memory required to identify the finds.  David Horton talked a bit about his new book, Exposing America, of photographic images (mostly cabinet cards) taken from August 1, 1864, to July 31, 1866.   There was a short Miami Convention report and a program booklet was given to those who hadn't been able to attend.  A sampling of Stereo World magazines was available for purchase from NSA's extensive collection of Stereo World back issues.  Larry competed with free copies from Bert Arps pre-move stock reduction.

 

Shellie Travis shared some of her father's images taken starting from the 1950s, including some amazing Mardi Gras images.  She has the world's largest collection of Revere 3D cameras!  Then Larry projected the Paul Milligan show, "A Boy and a Horse".  That show featured the world's largest collection of a boy pulling in a fish!
