A few more 3D images from the Mermaid Parade.

 More information about the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade can be found here:


I still haven't gotten back the slides I took at the parade with my Chinese TL-120 medium format film camera.   The TL-120 is currently being manufactured in China by a company called "3D World".  It's the SUV of cameras and always attracts attention when I use it.  I use a double slide viewer to view the incredible slides I get from this camera.   Medium format film has over twice as much image area as 35mm film, and thus captures far more detail than any consumer digital camera. 

  Unfortunately there is no way to convey the incredible resolution of these slides on-line.   If I scan them they are just another digital image.   For on-line sharing a digital camera such as Fuji W-1 excells.  Here are a few more Fuji W-1 digital images from this past Saturday's Mermaid Parade:
