Guts of the Lytro

[JohnR]

What's weird is that I can see/edit on my iPad

I sure hope they develop an iPad app to edit/download pics

Here's my blog, where I also post Lytro pictures, but I get about ... zero readers a day.

Couldn't resist a peek have looked back several pages now and loved the butterfly and photographers pic and can see the comment about needing a different approach or attitude to the Lytro better now although the 4D moniker is a bit over stating things.

Lytro pics still look a little toy-like but fascinating for all that and if Mac OSX can create the images then allegedly knowing SnowLeopard runs fine in a VirtualBox VM may be useful in lieu of a full Hackintosh dang it's all Chris' fault the Lytro bug is biting me now.

the Lytro bug is biting me now.

resistance is futile

Embrace the future :biggrin:

You go pdog!

Ubuntu, the lytro certainly IS a toy - I'd not likely select it to do formal portraits, a 4 hour event, but I would take some macros around the house, shoot my friends at a bar, or follow my favorite squid around on vacation. All fun stuff that a serious camera would be just a bit cumbersome:

Really interesting concept. I would have to relearn how to compose as this lets the viewer "design" the photograph by changing the focus of the image. Gotta think about this for a while...

Someone on another site said the Lytro made touchy-feely pics I now see the veracity of that assertion :smile:

... touchy-feely pics ...

I can only wish. She's my photography teacher for cryse-sakes!

Hey Chris,
The lack of activity on Lytro's support forums gives me second thoughts about this. I asked a couple of questions that haven't been answered.

They really need to stay on top of the Support section to alleviate any doubts.

I'm still going to get it though.

Hey Chris,
What or who are you using for the blog and why haven't you updated it in 11 days? Heh

I set up a Fazebook page for some Lytro stuff (fb has a lot of 'tro users) and I also keep my Lytro supplied gallery up to date:

Fazebook: http://www.facebook.com/christenone/
Lytro: https://pictures.lytro.com/chris101/

[JohnR]

It appears that there is no way to browse pictures taken by others on Lytro's site?

 

[Chris101]

What link are you referring to, I look at others all the time.

 

[JohnR]

If you go to Lytro's site then choose pictures, you can only browse what they put there. I can't check out any others. I know that I can look on Facebook, but too bad no choice on their site

 

[Chris101]

You are looking at their own picture gallery. Lytro also gives their users an unlimited (for now) amount of gallery space. Here's mine:

https://pictures.lytro.com/chris101

And here are some selected others:
Grant Hendrick
Just Liz
Ian Ellison (fantastic underwater stuff)
Vito
Éric Béteille
Eric Cheng (director of photography at Lytro)

... and lots more. On the pictures.lytro.com sites.

All I managed to see was:

I have zero (0) FB friends in case that matters!

 

[JohnR]

you probably have to be logged in to see them on FB. Link works for me

I have little experience in the fazebook world. I probably had my security settings all wrong. I changed them, it might work now. I have lots of FB friends, but few irl.

I think I'll stick to my Leicas, Rollei and other film cameras. Complex array matrix transformations are beyond my scope. I have no idea what they are, other than some sort of mathematical voo-doo doo-doo. I just bought a new 27" iMac, I don't want it getting confused with that fancy stuff.

It's not that bad Michael. From Ren Ng's thesis (p.85), all that you need to do is this:

:biggrin::Crunk:

ps, this is the photographic image operator for film F at depth α. Your film cameras do this all the time in a fraction of a second ... analogally.

What? It is THAT easy?? Wow..and here all I was doing was pushing a button. :Angry: :biggrin:
