LECTURES

 

Jacopo Brancati will give the lecture "Maritime photography and tall ships at the beginning of the 20th century".

 

 

 

In the inter-war period, the "Grain Races" between Australia and Europe marked the swan song of large transoceanic sailing ships. Newly designed cameras that use film instead of glass plates are now in common use. Jacopo Brancati's conference tells the "Grain Races" through history and unpublished images of some sailors on Finnish ships.

STEREO PHOTOGRAPHY

New experiment in progress - July 2025

 

Aldo and Jak are trying to make new stereoscopic images with a camera

built in 1906. The process is quite complex: mainly because of the photographic plates. Modern emulsions do not work exactly like those of a century ago and the work in the darkroom becomes more tricky.

On the other hand, to create a correct stereo picture... well, it's a long road with some mathematical laws to respect in way to achieve a good result.

 

New episodes to come!
