Which of these two images do you like best? The one above or the one below?

The interesting thing — to me — is that both images are from the same photograph.
Here are two more images, again taken from the same photo.
How is this possible? The secret is a camera that allows me to focus after the picture is taken.

The camera is a Lytro Light Field camera, which takes what are called living pictures. Clicking on a living picture changes the point of focus.

The camera is different from any other camera I’ve had. It has no auto-focus, no flash, no dials and no shutter lag.
It has taken me a while to learn how to use the camera, but it has been a fascinating experience. If you would like to experiment with some living pictures (remember you change the focus by clicking on the picture), you can do so by clicking HERE.

I’ve never heard of anything like this. Is this something new, or do I just live under a rock?

I had heard of this camera; however, you are the first person whom I know who has used it. Pretty cool camera!

Very interesting. I have loved to change the focus to these pictures live. I did not know this type of camera, I really like.
