Plenoptic camera maker Lytro has unveiled its first product – the Lytro Light Field Camera. Available in early 2012, the camera will come in 8Gb and 16Gb versions, costing $ 399 and $ 499, and capable of storing 350 and 750 images respectively in their internal memory. The cameras feature a 35-280mm equivalent, constant F2 lens with what the company is calling an 11 megaray sensor, that captures photos that can be refocused after shooting. Company Founder and CEO Ren Ng showed us the camera and talked us through the shooting experience.

BrakhaX2: Sketchy Mondays X 52
So, remember the Sketchy Mondays project, by father/son team Moshe and Eddie Brakha?
A refresher: Totally self-generated, no-boundary work done every Monday by an A-List commercial studio. Just for the creative spark; just for the hell of it. All of this done with a DSLR and few complementary-gelled hot lights. (Yeah, I know it’s not strobe. Just go with it.)
Check out what happens when you say, “What the hell, let’s just shoot something cool on our own, every single week,” by scrolling through a few pages on the Sketchy Mondays website. Awesome stuff.

Ilford 120 film packaging turns into a camera
From the dieline, a design/packaging blog I read regularly.
A student designed a package for ilford 120 rollfilm, that can be folded into a pinhole camera for said film. Supercool, although it wasn’t clear whether this was an actual product or just a design concept. Check the link for more images and info on the project.

Microsoft Word 2010 – Make Sure Others Can See Your Fonts
Embed fonts inside your Word 2010 documents to ensure others can see your texts as designed.
If you plan on exporting a Microsoft Word 2010 document to an earlier format for those with older versions of Office, or if you use non-standard fonts in your documents, others may not be able to see them as designed.
By default, Word 2010 does not include copies of fonts inside document files. If you send a file to a friend, co-worker, or family member, and they do not have the fonts referenced in the document, their copy of Word will try to substitute alternate fonts. Thus, your documents may not display as designed. However, this setting can be changed:…

Holy Cr*p Is Photography Different Now!
Herbert George Ponting – Antarctica 1912 If you were a photographer from 100 years ago and dropped in todays world to discover how you take and publish a photograph you’d be blown away. What is really scary is that photography really hadn’t changed that drastically until 20 years ago when Kodak converted a Nikon F3 to use a 1 megapixel digital sensor and on the consumer side 17 years ago when Apple released the QuickTake 100 that could sync photos to your computer. Oh and lets not forget the first camera phone photo being taken only 14 years ago. Before that there were varying degrees of improvement with film development, but by and large it was the same process and it took time.
What blows my mind is that I’ve lived through and experienced this rapid evolution of photography. I might as well have been the photographer from 100 years ago being dropped in this new world of photography. Photography is no longer as difficult to learn, print, publish or share. I grew up flipping through pages of National Geographic and Life in awe of the images and had to wait a month to see the next batch of images from great photographers. Now anyone with a cell phone can take a photo, post it online and in a matter of seconds have a stream of photos ready to be seen at a moments notice. I can take a photo of my son on the way to the grocery store and before I get there have people commenting and sharing a photo of him.
Digital photography has been an incredible game changer, but combined with the latest social media revolution it has amplified its impact. The likes of Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, Google+ and now Apple with their Photostream functionality built into their operating systems makes photography a seamless part of modern life. I know there are several other dinosaurs that read my blog and have witnessed this photography evolution revolution. Take a moment to extract yourself from the gradual changes you’ve become accustomed to and think about being dropped into another time. Is this not amazing? Damn it is great to be a photographer!
