 This October 2007 article discusses how scans with a multi-spectral imaging camera of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" peel away "centuries of varnish and other alterations, shedding light on how the artist brought the painted figure to life and how she appeared to da Vinci and his contemporaries." Provides images of her left eye, descriptions of several other revelations, and links to related material about da Vinci and Mona Lisa's smile. From LiveScience. http://www.livescience.com/history/071018-mona-lisa.html Topics: Photography Last updated Oct 29, 2007 Depth Charge: Digital Anaglyphs From the Digital Studio
Each image in this exhibit "is a pairing of a Keystone Mast photograph, taken with a stereographic camera decades ago, and a new image. ... Both images are shown in 'anaglyphic' format -- meaning that if seen with inexpensive 'three-D' glasses ... they give the illusion of a three-dimensional image. In this form, images seem to possess depth." Includes introductory essay. From the California Museum of Photography, University of California, Riverside. http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/exhibitions/depthcharge/ Topics: Photograph Collections, Photography Last updated Sep 20, 2006 Digital Photography Review

"Techniques for making panoramic photographs have been in use since about 1850." This exhibit considers the question, "Is the digital panorama process simply an update to these methods?" and notes that unlike the 19th century panorama-maker, "the digital panorama-maker cannot hide from an awareness of the process of assembling and simulating an image." Features over a dozen digital panoramas.
