Time-lapse stereo macro photography systems and methods and stereo time-lapse video made with same

A method of producing a sequence of time-lapse stereographic images of a subject, the method comprising:

• (A) positioning a camera with a macro lens at a first position relative to the subject;
• (B) using the camera to obtain a first stack of images of the subject from the first position;
• (C) positioning the camera at a second position relative to the subject;
• (D) using the camera to obtain a second stack of images of the subject from the second position;
• (E) storing the first stack of images and the second stack of images as a stack pair;
• and
• (F) selectively repeating acts (A)-(E),
• wherein the second position is determined as a function of the first position and/or a distance of the camera to the subject.

• and
• (F) selectively repeating acts (A)-(E),
• wherein the camera moves along a line, the method further comprising:
• (A1) rotating the camera by a particular angle (R) with respect to the line prior to using the camera in (B), wherein said particular angle R is determined automatically, based on one or both of:
• a distance between the first position and the second position;
• and/or
• a distance of the camera from a part of the subject.
