With funds for film and developing being a little tight at the moment, I’ve been carrying around my Lumix 3D1 more and more these days. It’s small, has a wide lens, and the most subtle stereoscopic lens distance of any other digital camera at the moment. It’s nice to have a pocket sized camera to carry around the neighborhood again. If you don’t mind having the menu in Japanese, you can also grab an Olympus 3D1 here for a hundred bucks less. Since the UI is mostly symbols, it’s not that difficult to navigate either way. Speaking of money saving tips: the $15 haircuts at Lee Hong on 16th (in the above photo) are a hell of a deal.

Taking a break from my usual routine (black and white people-on-the-streets shots), this week’s 3D City is all about the colors of the Mission. Buildings, trees, sunsets, etc. All shots taken with a Lumix DMC-3D1, my favorite new digital 3D camera.

Every time my wife brings her car to Mission Tires, I love to tag along. They have one of those electronic massage chairs, like you see in airports, but these are free. So I bring a couple comics along and spend an hour or two reading in the fancy chair. Last time we were there, I spotted this guy (in the pic above) going for a more old school reading position. I guess the chair was already occupied.

These shots were all taken with a Lumix G camera with a 3D lens. I planned on doing these 3D City posts mainly with film, but I thought I could try out a digital camera sometime too. Turns out I didn’t like it. The shots are crisp, and I love doing landscape orientation instead of portrait, but I really prefer the smooth animation you get using 4 frames (like on my Nimslo) rather than just 2.
