Yosemite Valley Stereoscopic Animation

I prefer not to do much clean up work, I want the photographs to remain an honest representation of what they are today – scratches and all. However, occasionally I plan to make exceptions like this one, especially when a photo is closer to art and landscape than a document of more historical value (such as Lincoln, a civil war event, a portrait, etc.). I’d like to think this is a more accurate representation as how the photo would have appeared brand new.  Lovely place.
