This is Lytro, the camera that lets you focus the photograph after you take the picture. You can see from above, the detail is awesome when you get to choose which version you want, the foreground or the background detailed shot.

This collection of portraits, personal belongings and the people who carry them is very interesting. Each one of these photos tells a narrative — a story about what makes up a person. When you pack your bag or stuff your pockets each day to go out into the world, you take with you what you need to carry on. It is surprising what objects people deem to be worthy of travel.

Sometimes catching a moment on film can be so incredible. The light design of today’s cameras makes it so much easier for people to capture these bird’s eye views for others to see.
These three videos — a jetpack on skis, a downhill time trial on a bike and a balloon sent into the clouds — are all able to be captured using today’s small cameras.
What a creative way to document the test stages of a skier using a jetpack. One camera is mounted to the foot of the ski and the other is held in the skier’s hand.
This footage, captured by a lightweight helmet-mounted camera, shows every twist and turn of a Chilean bicycle race from a point of view that few have seen before.
Even sending a camera into the heavens is possible with lightweight cameras. This HD camera is able to get a crisp video from beyond the clouds.

With all of the complains about Facebook’s re-formatting, in particular, the social website’s new profile layout — is there anything you can do? Well, this guy has turned lemons into lemonade.
Artie Isaac, an instructor at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus Ohio, has taken advantage of the new layout by forming a series of photos that collectively create his profile photo. He is using a cleverly crafted template of sequenced, fragmented images to make it appear as if he is looking through a window. Now that is how you create a stand-out profile!
If you care to make yours look as creative, search online to find one of the many templates to break up your standard Facebook profile picture.
