Lytro’s New Digital Camera

Lytro is a technology company with 50 million worth of VC funding and all with good reason.  According to reports, Lytro has developed a camera that could possibility revolutionize the world of photography.  For those that are seasonal and even amateur photographers, one of the common tasks is getting the right thing in focus when taking picture.  However, what if i told you that it didn't matter whether your subject was in focus at the time of taking the picture?  What if I told you focus could be altered with little or no effect afterwards?  you would probably say that even if I could do it the photograph would display obvious markings and traces of visual editing.  And to that I would reply, maybe 2 years ago, but no longer given the new technology of Lytro.  Lytro has given photographers the ability to shoot now and focus later!  Hard to believe right! Well believe it, their technology in lamen's terms allows you to adjust the focus the image that you shot well after the shot.  I found this concept hard to grasp given some major technicalities such as light exposure among many other things.  What I found being the easiest explanation was the image and giving some foundation for belief was the demo given at NY TIMES.  Believe it or not its some interesting that sounds to be well on its way.  Photographers beware life is about to get easier.
