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).
Location: Mill Lake, Parry Sound Ontario
Subject: trees
Special Effects: created solely by the bounces of the vehicle
Wayne, that camera technology is pretty amazing. But when I checked out their website a month or so ago and tried to play with the images in high-res, the results were pretty poor. Very grainy.
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.
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.
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
Here's one near my camp in northern Vermont taken this past June looking across a field of lupins and the Connecticut river into NH with the with White mountains in the background.
