Lytro Camera - a new type of camera?
I’m intrigued by these, they are called light field cameras and they capture the colour, intensity and direction of the light. This means you can focus and re-focus at any time you feel.
All of this give you an 11 megarays image (maybe this is the equivalent of 11 megapixel?)
Its a bizarre thought but a great way to take a fresh look at photography.
Also I have no idea if this is an old technology being made new, but I;ve never heard of it.
Finally, one thing that worries me… None of the images in the gallery have a sharp focus on anything! A bit worrying.
Beautiful 1920s mugshots
Just browse through, some of them are amazing.

The awesome Minox DCC 5.1 is a Leice look-a-like with a difference - it fits cutely in the palm of your hand! Seriously, it’s tiny.
With its longest side only being 7.4cm this little beauty still packs a punch with 5.1 mega-pixel, video capabilities, an attachable flash and lens components.
I WANT ONE!
Designed in fascinating detail and with a sophisticated stylish format the new Digital Classic Camera MINOX DCC 5.1 is a true example of first-class German engineering from the fifties. Devotees of timeless elegance and precision mechanics will find it hard to resist the amazing look and feel of the camera. This small ingenious masterpiece in a scale of 1:3 is no ordinary digital camera and quietly reflects its owner’s confidence in style.

Super sexy GIF animations
The New York fashion photographer Jamie Beck, in collaboration with the motion graphic artist and designer Kevin Burg, is the author of the series “cinemagraphs“ animated gif photo halfway between video and photos.
There is something magical about these, the transition of the still image mated with a subtle motion really bring the photo alive in someway more than a video.

Of course the technology to create GIF’s has been around for decades but I believe its potential for both expression and impact, within the fashion world, has yet to be fully explored. Let me put it this way – film has been around for a century, does that mean that we’ve exhausted the possibilities?
Camera of the future
A gorgeous concept taking the Leica i9 below one step further. Mating mobile with a body and wireless lens. I want one.
Bank Holiday and bloomin’ boiling!
