Coolest thing ever? Sorta, kinda, maybe.

This past weekend, I stumbled across an article that was introducing a new camera from the company Lytro. Apparently, the revolutionary camera that has been developed can change the focus of a picture after it is taken. Some examples of how that works can be found here. I wont pretend to know how the camera actually works, but they do give a pretty good layman's explanation on their website. Pretty cool stuff, but I'm not too sure that I like the design. There also doesn't seem to be any listing of megapixels, only "Megarays." That kind of leaves me wondering what the picture resolution is and how it stacks up to other cameras.


In other news, my exploration of the abstract/macro continues on with more strange and fun results. Here's a favorite of mine this week. (For the record we flipped the little guy back over and he went on his merry way)
