Now it gets interesting. The Lytro camera may be the most diminutive object to start a revolution. The Lytro is the world's first consumer light-field camera. The idea of using a camera to "shoot now, focus later" is what captured the world's attention when creator Ren Ng revealed his new company and its ambitions to the world earlier this year. How It Works The Lytro requires a completely different approach to photography, but the device still needs to be fundamentally a camera — small and portable, not to mention easy to use. "We're capturing a different kind of image," says Charles Chi, executive chairman of Lytro. They started with the lens, which is an 8x optical-zoom lens with an constant f/2 aperture — and extremely large spec even by the standards of high-end DSLR cameras. "The lens array needs to be packaged with the sensor at a very precise distance," says Chi.

Photographs of Mirrors on Easels that Look Like Paintings in the Desert Daniel Kukla is a photographer who had formal training in biological and anthropological sciences. His educational background plays a major part of his artistic practice, and this can be seen in his clever project titled, The Edge Effect. In the description and explanation of the project, Kukla writes, In March of 2012, I was awarded an artist’s residency by the United States National Park Service in southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park. We love how the photos look like they’re of paintings of the desert placed within the desert. You can find the rest of the photographs in the series over on Kukla’s website.

Shoot the first frame, and with the use of the tripod, rotate the camera in a clockwise direction so that the first and second frames overlap by 30 to 50 per cent, otherwise your photos will have lines, distortion or missing portions. Continue to rotate the camera clockwise in approximately 25-degree increments, overlapping each photo as before. There are so many different photos that you can take with your SLR camera.
