and you will see some amazing things indeed!..
The Show begins with a 3-D
trip through the solar system, heading toward Earth, as it zooms in and
out of the scenes, and pans the dinosaur images, adding greatly to the
3-D experience. To make this 3-D slideshow, Ron first made 3-D anaglyphs
by photographing Dinosaur models in natural surroundings, and in terrariums
he built on his front porch. He lighted the terrarium scenes with
colored lights, a black light and a volcano in the background.
He used dry ice for fog. Using a single camera on a slide bar, he
took stereo images, to create red and blue 3-D anaglyphs. These he
made into a 3-D slideshow for your computer screen.
The 3-D images in this show
were praised by Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Author of 2001 A Space Oddessy" He
loved showing it to the kids in Shri Lanka. Ron and Sir Arthur became
internet friends, sharing ideas about 3-D photography and art. One
of Ron's paintings depicts
an Astronaut Lion Tamer on the Moon with 7 Lions. Sir Arthur sent
a jpeg of this painting to Astronaut Neil Armstrong, saying, "You never
told us about this".
(The last Dinosaur in the show does
a magic trick: Its head moves in the same direction you move yours.)
