Two things:
1) I can't be the only person to read this.
2) Your link is already incorrect. As of the time of this post, it should be:
http://www.3dimensionphoto.com/SDM/SDM_Basic_Shooting_1-76.pdf3) THREE! OK, three things:
3) Tom, It's
too basic. They can get SDM running, but sync cable building? Mounting? etc. Most of what's in that can be gleaned from reading the wiki. Base pair distance and why the 1/30th rule is actually a
rule, understanding why nearly all of us prefer hyperstereoscopic pairs vs. actual 6.5cm pairs, and minimal vertical tilt is good, and why parallax distortion kills, etc.
I know you open with "there are other guides" etc. but mentioning them, linking to them, or downright stealing content from them... Those that read this guid might get some stereo pairs, but they won't know what to do with them, how to align them, or how to view them in stereo. Woo? Also, it needs more pictures! If you're going to make a really
basic guide, show how to mount a pair of cameras. That tends to be, uhm, important and stuff.
The font is less than friendly, leaving a stale, worn feeling, but that's cosmetic. And FINALLY - there shouldn't be much troubleshooting info if it's intended to be a "basic" guide. Send them here, to the Y! listbot, etc.
Sorry if that seems totally negative. It is. It's quite a challenge to make an introductory document regarding an advanced subject... I've read many horrible beginning organic chemistry books, as it were...
Good idea, and good luck! And for Tom's sake, someone else say something.
