Cantina & Grill, Del Mar
Quite some time ago I purchased a digital camera disguised as a pair of sunglasses. The megapixel rating is 1.3, quite adequate considering the size and craftiness of the camera. Today I decided to field test it in the city of Del Mar, California. Attached are some sample photos. Some were taken outdoors, and many of the interior shots came out quite well.
Points of interest include The Plaza Shopping Center, Harvest Ranch Market, Stratford Square, The Stratford Court Cafe, En Fuego Cantina and Grill (currently my favorite), and Seagrove Park, among other places.
If you want to see the rest of the photos, go here.
As you can see, the stealth capabilities of this camera are more than enough to get by without people knowing pictures are being taken. The shutter is silently released via a bluetooth remote the size of a silver dollar, concealed in the pocket. Taking the pictures is still a bit of a learning curve. Pressing the button results in three audible beeps which only I can hear via the earphones attached to the glasses. The exposure is taken at some point in the middle of those three beeps, but I'm not exactly sure when. Hence, it is difficult to shoot moving subject matter.
With some of the photos, I've cropped them after the fact so that I can zoom in on the subject closer. That is why these appear to have lower resolution.
I shot over a hundred exposures before I got tired of taking pictures. I've included only a few here and on my Mobile Me Gallery.
As a side benefit, the sunglasses are also a digital mp3 player.
