I got a bit carried away and cloned out the sign on the path warning visitors not to enter so as not to distract revising students.
The Radcliffe Camera is one of the most instantaneously recognisable buildings in Oxford. I was lucky enough to spend the day there with a group today and had a private tour of Christchurch and Oxford!
The Radcliffe Camera (Camera, meaning "room" in Latin; colloquially, "Rad Cam") is a building of Oxford University, England, designed by James Gibbs in neo-classical style and built in 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. It is sited to the south of the Old Bodleian, north of St. Mary's Church, and between Brasenose College to the west and All Souls College to the east.
The Library's construction and maintenance was funded from the estate of John Radcliffe, a notable doctor, who left £40,000 upon his death in 1714. According to the terms of his will, construction only began in 1737, although the intervening period saw the complex purchase of the site. The exterior was complete in 1747 and the interior finished by 1748, although the Library's opening was delayed until 13 April 1749.
Upon completion, Francis Wise was appointed as its first librarian. Until 1810, the Library housed books covering a wide range of subjects, but under Dr George Williams it narrowed its focus to the sciences. Williams brought the Library from a state of neglect up to date, although by 1850 the Radcliffe Library still lagged behind the Bodleian. It was at this point that Henry Wentworth Acland, then librarian, laid out plans for the Radcliffe Library building to merge with the University and the Library's collection of books to be moved to the newly constructed Radcliffe Science Library, which were accepted by the Library's trustees and the University. It was at this point that the building became known as the Radcliffe Camera, serving as a reading room for the Bodleian. (Wikipedia)
Last week I made a stereo view of the Radcliffe Camera using the Fuji W3 3D camera. Now I have replicated the view using Sony's 3D Sweep Panorama feature on a NEX-7.
The process produces an MPO stereo file and again the field of view was insufficient to get all of the building in the frame. So this stereo pair is a composite of two pictures where the left and right images were stitched and then recombined to make the larger view. It's not very satisfactory, especially with the distortions introduced in tilting the camera up to catch the higher parts of the building. Corrections in post lost the very top.
The top picture is a colour anaglyph (red-cyan), and the bottom trio are L-R-L (left-right-left) images for side-by-side or crossover viewing, for those that can manage it.
One of Oxford's most distinctive buildings, the Radcliffe Camera was built in the 18th-Century designed by James Gibbs, today it serves as a reading room for the Bodleian Library.

Thanks to engineering work at Newark, Saturday 21st March 2015's 6E82 12.16 Rectory Jn to Lindsey Oil Refinery needed to be diverted from its normal route.
Here 60087 "CLIC Sargent" is unusually seen heading west through Radcliffe-on-Trent approx 85 minutes after heading the other way with 6E82. 6E82 was routed via Grantham to run-round and thence back via Nottingham, Erewash Valley and Scunthorpe to Lindsey Oil Refinery.

Half of Radcliffe Camera in Oxford has been lit initially for the Night of Heritage Light 2017, and now for the Oxford Christmas Light Festival. Hopefully, it will remain, and the other half done. St Mary the Virgin Church in the background.
Walking around, staring at the ground, apparently. This is an older photo that I'm dusting off. Seems that I finished it, then piled a bunch of life on top and forgot about it.

This one continues to be a bit of a pain - it is very difficult to compose without very noticeable perspective distortion. I've corrected it here a little... Have to find a better vantage point or invest in a T/S lens me thinks...
