Here in the “Miner Images Stereo Gallery” you’ll find several stereo images to try out your new free-viewing skills on. Most of them will be easy for a beginner to see the 3D. A few may be a little more difficult: Keep trying, you’ll get it. The majority of the stereo images here are mine. I shot them in some interesting places I’ve visited over the years. Some of them are ‘experiments’ I’ve tried…Most of those work fairly well. There are also a number of very good stereo images from other people and resources such as NASA.
Stop!
If you have never tried to ‘free-view’ a stereo image (viewing without the aid of a device or glasses) you should vist the tutorial page first. You’ll be glad you did…

Kennedy Spaceflight Center 1999 & 2001
“Escape Tower”
“Escape Tower”Here the Command Module is underneath the white escape stage covering that in turn in is attached to small rocket engines that will pull it way from the rest of the Saturn V should there be a need to get away fast.
“Third Stage Engine”
“Third Stage Engine”I won the Photographic Society of America's 2002 First Prize – Stereo Photography Division for this image.
Saturn V №4
“Upper Stages of the Satun V”In this long shot you can see the top if the 2nd the thrid and the faring of the command module along with a LEM suspended on the left and numerous emblems from the Apollo Missions.
“Saturn V Main Engines”
“Saturn V Main Engines”These engine nozzels are about 14 feet in diameter. Standing underneath these things is an awe inspiring experiance.
“Command Module Engine”
“The Command Module’s Engine”This is the relativley huge nozzel of the Command module’s engine. It’s about 7 feet in diameter.
“Second Stage and Third Stage Engine”
“Stages 2 and 3”Here we’re under the 3rd stage engine looking back toward the top of the 2nd stage.
“Under the Second Stage Engines”
“Under the Second Stage Engines”This is a shot of the 2nd stage engines and the framework of the first stage. The framework was added to make the exhibit more structuraly sound.
Saturn V №9
“Second Third & Command Stages”This long shot is looking back towards the exhibit entrance, the Saturn V is so big you can’t see any of the First Stage.
Saturn V №10
“Second Stage Engines”This shot shows a section of the 2nd stage engine area. The nozzels are about half the size of the 1st stage engines. Like the 1st stage there are five engines on the 2nd stage.
Saturn V №11
“The Command Module”Here’s a Command Module that you can get up close to. Thy put a window in the nose that gives a great view of the cramped quarters inside. I like the reflective finish on it too.
Saturn V №12
“The Business End of a Saturn V”The top of the Saturn V is at the end of the building. Right in front of it are pieces of the actual gantry used during the Apollo missions.
From My Travels in Europe 1999 — 2003
{London, Moscow & Kiev}
“Napoleon & Nike” London
“Napoleon & Nike”This statue of Napoleon is titled “Napoleon as Mars the Peacemaker” and is in ‘Apsley House’, London. It was given to the Duke of Wellington 1816. As we all know the Duke defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, Apsley House is his former home.
Just as a note – This stereo image won the Third Place in the “2003 General Stereo Photo Section of The Stereo Club of Tokyo” competition and exhibition.
“The Tower”
“Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress - The Tower of London”‘The Tower’ was, until The Modern Era, also the Crown’s primary arsenal. Weapsons were manufatured, stored and issued from there. This included several generations of firearms many of which are on display there. The Tower is a ‘must’ for any visit to London.
Moscow
“The Kremlin Walls at Night”This shot was taekn around 11PM on March 3, 2003. A coulpe of colleauges and I decided to take a mildly drunken late night walk around the Kremlin right after a wonderful Russian dinner. It was COLD that night! The various guards along the wall only looked at us and grined. It was a fun and interesting walk. We across across numerous Soviet burial sites in the wall, memorials and historical markers.
Kiev
“Soviet ‘Great Patriotic War’ Memorial”A Soviet World-War II memorial in Kiev, Ukraine. Read more…
Canary Warf Station
“Canary Wharf Tube Station -
East London”
All of the Tube stations are deep undergound. Canary Wharf has this massive escalator at its main entrance.
“The Tower”
“Henry VIII’s Armor”The Tower of London also has an exhibit of suits of armor worn by various Kings through history. You can get an idea of the personalities each had by the styling of the armor: As you can see Henry VIII thought a lot of himself.
Bray U.K.
“A Street in Bray, Berkshire England”
A street scene in the ancient village of Bray in Berkshire England. The white house in the scene is over 600 years old. Larn more about this beautiful and ancient village…
London
“Street Scene Isle-Of-Dogs, London”London’s ‘East End’ is made up of several neighborhoods and districts. This street scene was taken in the Isle–Of–Dogs area. It shows a bit of the old East End as it looked before WWII…of course there are some modern buildings mixed in.
This part of London was heavily bombed in the Blitz because it was, for centuries, London’s shipping center. In fact another name for the wider area is “The Docklands”. This particular piece of the Docklands is called “Isle-Of-Dogs” because Henry VIII kept and trained his hunting dogs on what was once a marshy island in the River Themes.
Hyde Park Corner
“The Tube - Hyde Park Corner”About two minutes after I took this shot a very polite and friendly security officer walked up to me and asked several questions……Why was I there? What’s my name? Where was I from?eEtc., etc…all very friendly and nice. Being 2003 it wasn’t hard to understand why all the questions.
Hyde Park Corner Station was opened in 1906 and used as secured office space during WW2. I like the tube feeling of its rounded walls.
Lanin’s Tomb at Night
“Lenin’s Tomb at Night”Red Square at night isn’t empty but it is a bit eerie. As a child of the Cold War, I remember seeing clips of the May Day parades of Soviet military might through Red square. I remember seeing Soviet leaders standing on Lenin’s Tomb waving to the passing troops and equipment. They always looked so “larger than life”. Therefore, what struck me first when I walked into Red Square was how small it actually is. Instead of a massive military parade ground, it was about the size of two average square city blocks. Even more of a surprise was the actual size of Lenin’s Tomb…It’s only about two stories high! All those film clips were shot at just the right angle to make people on it seem like they were very high up.
Greenwich U.K.
“The Royal Observatory and The Molecule”This is the famous ‘Royal Observatory, Greenwich’ where the ‘Prime Meridian’ originates. If you ever go to London make sure to include Greenwich in the sites you visit. The Observatory is very interesting and thaere are a lot more places to visit there. No, there wasn’t a giant model of a molecule floating in the air above the Observatory…I found the 3D modle of the malecule on the web.
“The Tower”
“The Hall of Kings” -Tower of London
Inside the “White Tower” (the oldest building in the Tower of London) is a huge armory exhibit displaying period weapons that were manufactured in the Tower. On one floor is a large room where the armor and related equipment and accessories belonging to numerous Kings are displayed…It’s called the ‘Hall of Kings’.
Places In The USofA
Emeryville, CA
“Emeryville Crossover”An experiment in weird photography — Part of the image is a color negative and the other has been changed to look like night. The pedestrian crossover connects the Emeryville Market to the Amtrak station in Emeryville, California.
‘Fat Man’
“Fat Man”An exact replica of the first nuclear weapon at the Smithsonian’s American History Museum.
Disneyland
“Blue Neon”Where “Emeryville Crossover” is an experiment in weird photography that I planned and created: This image is completely accidental! I was very surprised to see that the light from the blue neon sign had this very strange effect on the camera’s sensor. The blue light came out looking like flames coming off of the sign. It may have been due to the fact that the camera was an early digital one that wasn’t up to today’s quality standards. BTW – This is the Catal restaurant in Disneyland California.
At Work №33
“Atrium Interior №33”The Atrium Series – The company I worked for in Emeryville California bought an old Post Office processing building and spent a lot of money designing and rebuilding the interior (they won a big interior design award for it too). It was a very nice ‘cubical farm’ with ceilings so high it almost felt like you were outside, they made it a very quiet place to work…Sometimes a good thing, sometimes not.
Early one morning I wandered around taking stereo shots. These five images are a sampling of those shots.

Savannah, GA
“Savannah Stairwell №1”This shot was taken late at night in a stairwell of the place we were staying in Savannah, Georgia in April 2013. Not only is it a night shot it’s also an HDR image (see my HDR Page for more info). This stereo image has several levels of depth in it due to the reflections in the window. It may take a little practice to peroerly see the 3D effect.

Laurie & Ellen Florida 1959
“Laurie and Ellen Zuckerman – 1959”This is a stereo shot of my wife Laurie and her sister Ellen on vacation in Florida in 1959. Their Dad owned a Kodak stereo camera and took a lot of stereo shots of the family. Laurie is the one with the ‘swimming ring’.
Madison Protest
“OLB on Bridge Madison, Wisconsin June 29, 2012”I found this stereo shot while cruising FLICKR for nice stereos. It’s by a photographer who calls his/herself ‘depthandtime’. I included it here because I find it to be a very interesting and well done example of modern stereo photography, enjoy.
The Sun №1
“Stereo Sun in X-Ray”I found this stereo shot while cruising FLICKR for nice stereos. It’s by a photographer who calls his/herself ‘depthandtime’. I included it here because I find it to be a very interesting and well done example of modern stereo photography, enjoy.
Mars №1
“On The Floor Of Gale Crater №1”I found this stereo shot while cruising FLICKR for nice stereos. It’s by a photographer who calls his/herself ‘depthandtime’. I included it here because I find it to be a very interesting and well done example of modern stereo photography, enjoy.
