My first photowalk with Lytro's lightfield camera

This is the camera that you can refocus (and do other things) after you take the image. Why? Because it doesn't capture images the way a regular camera does. It captures the entire light field. Here Lytro's Director of Photography, Eric Cheng, gives me a chance to be one of the first to try it out. I shot about 300 images on a walk around Half Moon Bay and here's the results.

Great idea and it seems like a good 1st implementation.

And I liked you first "pre" review of the camera. Very informative and

seemed well balanced.

Now if we only could have the re-focus feature on the interviews.

RS, when you have very interesting and knowledgeable interviewee, you should focus more on him/her. Let them do more of the talking.. :-)

This is crazy. I have no background in photography but this so cool !!

Can you make an entire photo in focus? Or do you have to have a subject with a blurred background ?

15-20 years? digital cameras were invented 37 years ago...

So you get a super tiny resolution image?

hey he just bust that guy's bubble by stating how it works...did you see the look on his face

U mentioned that there is no actual shutter speed so can the shutter speed be adjusted later like what is done with the focal points?
