Duo: pairs of images

Rod Smallwood: Nether Moor Images

I wondered whether a pair of images might give a better idea of a location than a single image. Well, of course they do, but this is another n+1 situation – are three images better then two …

The real issue is not whether you can say more with more images, but can you select a pair of complementary images that provide more insight than just the sum of the two images – in technical terms, can one get a non-linear interaction between the images? It is fun trying, but the jury is out.
