Purpose of the master's tesis was to increase perception of the ordinary cave photography with it's upgrade in a way to show also the third spatial dimension – depth. This way we wanted to increase it's expressive value, which would have positive impact on the viewer. There are two fields of science presented in this thesis – cave photography and stereophotography. All the important facts for both feilds can be found in the theoretical part of the thesis. Cave photography section contains necessary equipment (gear) which photographer needs for his work, description of the work in the cave and important characteristic which photographer has to follow in the dark cave environment. In following there are listed also important facts for stereoscopy, such as it's main charascteristics, different kinds and techniques of stereoscopy, where the thesis focus only on the anaglyph technique, because it's the most adequate for the selected context, because of it's simplicity and the lowest making costs. In this section thesis defines also necessary conditions for acheiving good stereoscopic effect. Based on the gained knowledge we created a collection of anaglyph photographs, shot in Divača cave which are presented in experimental part of the thesis. In this section a reader can find a description of the work in the cave, used equipment and computer image processing for acheiving better art value of the photographs and description of the process of creating anaglyph images. For all photographs there is given also art analysis.
The thesis show the simplicity and low costs of creating cave photography with higher expressive value. In addition thesis also presents Divača cave to wider audience and allows easy insight to this cave environment also to people who for some reason don't have the access to the cave.
