Yesterday I posted a photo of mushrooms that are growing around a (dead) maple tree stump on our property. Howie commented: "In this fast paced world we often do not slow down long enough to enjoy the beauty of little things."

I spend a lot of time, with my photography, slowing down and capturing minute details of my environment. This picture, however, was taken while traveling down a bumpy back road. (No, I wasn't driving).

The stuff on the web site seems to be well behaved for me. Not sure if the issue would be with the camera or the technology on the web site. I would like to have one to play with, but $400 is a bit steep for a new toy.

From the Oceans and to the Seas,

Over Hill & Dale and even Bees.

We see very talented Woodworkers' work,

As well as more beautiful stuff from which they lurk.

.

It's amazing the hidden talents that have just been uncovered…

A perfect example of how the Off Topic section can be hovered.

.

Thank you very much…

Wayne, I just went back to the website, and something is definitely different. Before, I was able to view the images full screen, and that's when the lack of quality became obvious. They must have figured it out and removed that option.

To confirm my suspicions, I did a little research. This is an excerpt from the PC Magazine article about the technology:

It all sounds like a big improvement over normal photography, and it is, but it doesn't come without tradeoffs, the main one being picture resolution. The nature of light-field photography makes it difficult capture high-resolution images without making the optics extremely complicated. Although Ng says his team has found ways to mitigate the issue, the Lytro camera won't be competing with others on the market in the megapixel arena.

So probably good for photos targeted to web pages. It will be interesting to see how the technology evolves over time.

Joe, the sad part is people have to wade through the other BS to get to wonderful posts like this.

Awesome photos. MsDeb, did you do that in photoshop after the fact or is that a raw photo?

WayneC, 100% correct. I just posted my retirement and call to arms for the benefit of LJ's return to the "Karson" standard we found here ;-))

great pictures all of them :)

but the first one from Msdeppie does tell a scary story if you havn´t noticed
its not all about taking the picture sometimes you have to create it in your mind
before its possiple …. and in other case … to see the picture in the photo
after you have arived to the dark room ... as I gess that what happen here :)
congrat´s Msdeppie by seeing it ….......I just think you have inspired me to take up photo-art again

take care
Dennis
