Incredible ‘living pictures’ of a coral reef aquarium using a Lytro light field camera

In case you haven’t heard, the Lytro is a new type of camera that doesn’t take photographs, it takes a snapshot of the entire light field, resulting in a type of digital image that can be refocused after the fact. For some people this means that they can snap away and worry about focal points later, but for us it means producing dramatic living images of our favorite aquarium animals.

When I saw the picts my first thought was that thy looked great, but how much does a Lytro camera cost?

I looked it up on the Lytro web site and it's really not too bad, $399 or $599, depending if you want to be able to take 350 or 700 pictures.

Very neat idea.
My only issue would be how to force focus attention on something. As a former photographer there are times when I want to take someone's attention and specially focus on one area or object in an image.
But very cool none the less...
