About the Oakland Camera Club

Stereophotography — 3D photography — is the marvelous craft of making pictures with the illusion of depth.

The Oakland Camera Club is the Bay Area's premier place to view, share, and learn about 3D photography. Join us at a club meeting and experience fantastic printed and projected 3D photos. Polarized 3D glasses are provided.

The Oakland Camera Club was founded in 1934 and is a member of the Photographic Society of America. The Oakland Camera Club is a non-profit organization.

New 3D Web Gallery
posted January 18, 2012

The wait is over! Our first month of competition entries are online for public viewing in the Oakland Camera Club's new web photo gallery.

Our gallery is unique in its ability to display several 3D formats. Parallel and crossview 3D photographs can be viewed with a variety of handheld viewers. Anaglyphs are viewed with colored glasses. We present two anaglyph formats: The common red/blue, and increasingly popular green/magenta.

New images will be added about a month after the competitions are held. To see the absolute latest stereoscopy from the Oakland Camera Club, drop by one of our monthly meetings.
