news.
Holiday Dinner Meeting of Jan 26, 2010
About 18 people came to our holiday dinner meeting at the
Trocadero (some coming for the first
time). Check out the
3D pictures
of the evening on 3DPix. Of special interest, Peter Kaphammel from Vernon
brought his twin Hasselblad unit (and by the way, this gorgeous unit is also now
for sale).
Meeting of November 24, 2009
We
had a very lively meeting. It was amazing seeing the Stereo pictures taken with
the two iPhones and the very clever use of a Loreo viewer, and then seeing the
same images being projected was just unbelievable.
There was also some great interest in the two Fuji W1 3d cameras that were shown
and later some images from Peter's W1 camera were projected. So far Lens &
Shutter is the only store in B.C. that sells the camera and the V1 viewer.
Here is a link to a few
pictures taken of the evening and as well a link to the
Lions football pictures shown by Bernd.

Meeting of August 27, 2009
I counted 18 people showing up for an evening packed with projected shows that featured the, yet-to-be-released in North America, Fuji digital stereo camera.
Digital presentations began the evening, starting with Gary showing the new Fuji 3DW1 digital stereo camera with overview comments and a sample slideshow. The Fuji camera was impressive enough that a number of us will be buying it when it is released in Canada (currently only available in Asia). Here are a few pictures of the evening taken by Gary with the new Fuji.
Bernd then presented wide baseline shots (using twin Canon 30D DSLRs) Whistler chairlifts and then of a Canadian’s baseball game and a youth soccer tournament. Mark had a few cha-chas of sci-fi comic pop-ups and action figures. Peter presented a show of shots from around town and Victoria, B.C. using a Pentax Optio S4i with its internal 3D cha-cha function.
After a break of 3DTidBits, we watched a spectacular digital show on caving, "Extraordinary Lechuguilla" by Peter & Ann Bosted that Rolf brought back from NSA – big very thanks to Peter & Ann for allowing us to present their show at our club meeting! This followed with Rolf’s own analog slides taken at Carlsbad Caverns while on his way to the NSA convention in Mesa, Arizona. And also Dragan with a few analog slides that he took of Prague.

With about a dozen people attending, presentations began with Bernd Simson demonstrating a workflow of how stereo images can be captured from Google Earth using views from Street, Terrain and Buildings options. Bernd then presented a stereo show of Google earth images along with telephoto images of a building construction. The show images presented can be found here on 3DPix.
Peter Lowrey presented a digital show of a selection of cha-cha images along with an entertaining set of 3D TidBits slides. We also projected some sample digital images from new club members as well as a few old ViewMaster reels. Later in the evening, Rolf had a CD that presented a large selection of very rare Daguerreotype stereo images (historic, 150 year old, risqué images).
At the end of the meeting, I took some stereo images with a tri-delta attachment on a Canon 30D DSLR using a ZigView to assist. You can peruse the pictures in this 3DPix gallery.

excellent on-the-spur showing of digital slides. Ben Clifford presented a number
of digital slides that he scanned and prepped from glass plates taken by his
grandfather in the early 1900's. We got to preview
John Asbacher digital stereo shots from a

humpback whales (John plans to build show from these slides). Lots of tidbits,
discussions and misc digital projections filled out the evening.
Meeting of Aug 30, 2007
A couple dozen people came for another jam packed evening of 3D. Major exhibits
included Bernd's custom built "Stereo
Mirror" (view stereo using LCD monitors), Brian McConnell's
stereo print viewer, Rick Gibson's large art lenticular and Peter Lowery's large
selection of paraphernalia from Boise07. Evening talks began with Brian McConnell
presenting his Boise07 talk "Eye to Image".
John Asbacher followed with a talk "Shooting to Presenting"
giving detailed insight on how to build dynamic stereo shows with video editing
software (detailed info here).
Interspersed where both 2D and 3D images from the
Boise 2007 NSA/ISU convention. We finished
with projecting sampling of 3D digital images that members brought including
notably Jack Chevalier with images of his hikes on Mt. St. Helen, Lake Tahoe,
Yosemite and Sequoia Canyon.
Meeting of April 26, 2007
A couple dozen people came for a jam packed evening of 3D. There were many

his medium format slides), Rick Gibson's lenticulars and
3DPix products.
Presentations began with
Bernd Simson digital slide projection of Iberostar resort in Bavaro, Punta
Cana.
Rick Gibson then gave a talk of his large format lenticular art work with
many examples. Peter Lowery led our 3D tidbits section including his find of a
Spy Kids lenticular poster. This followed with stereo film slide projections;
Dragan Smekal presented a selection from his work followed by a presentation by
Rolf Eipper of “Pagodas of Bangkok”. We the viewed a projection of a few
historical View Master reels including early Vancouver reels and Kiss rock group
reels. The evening’s final presentation was a digital projection of
