+Mitch Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I've been following this camera's development for a while, and got a chance to play with it @ SXSWi. Fundamentally this camera captures the entire light field, and allows one to refocus the pic at any time (just click different points on the pic and see the image refocus magically). Currently only supported on Mac, but Windows to be released later this year. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/03/14/lytro-pictures-reef-aquarium/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I've been following this camera for a long time now since it was in a beta/investors needed stage. Has sounded perfect for aquarium photography from the start since it's always difficult to get in focus shots with moving inhabitants. Looking forward to future models with better resolution but looks really promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ok, at first I thought you had gotten your hands on your very own Lytro... I was going to be really jealous I have also been watching the development of the Lytro, and was wondering how it would do with a tank... and it looks like it does pretty darn good! While not a replacement for a DSLR, having the ability to refocus after-the-fact is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 yeah, no luck on getting one for free, though i did pitch the marketing manager to be a beta tester for the windows platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Fyi Lytro will be coming to SXSW again, and they're offering opportunities to win one! http://events.lytro.com/featured-main/win-lytro-cameras/ If you register for Scene at SouthBy, they will loan you a Lytro camera. I was told by the Marketing Manager that I would be able to keep it overnight - not sure if this is the norm or because I chose the last slot of the day. But anyways, yay! I'm gonna try to take pics of my tank. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Jakedoza Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 all the camera does is take a photo with a high aperture to increase the DOF. You can achieve the same thing with a DSLR. The "refocusing" all happens in software which you can do in Photoshop to any photo. If you want the same results take a photo with a large aperture so you can have everything in focus and then bring it into software and blur out the things you don't want in focus.

(Bio)³ Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 but the lytro looks so much cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 and I think the fun part is anyone can view and play around with it and it doesn't require you to have photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You can do it without the lytro camera.. But your DSLR must be able to shoot video.. http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/14/make-your-own-lytro-style-adjustable-focus-photos-with-dslr-video-and-a-simple-hack/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
