Thank you to Camera Samurai fan Steve Garfield, who sent me a link to this video by all-around tech guru Robert Scoble. I have to admit that I did not follow all the technical discussion in the video but certainly found it interesting. At the end is a jaw-droppping moment that blew my mind a little.
It was so powerful, in fact, that I exclaimed not too quietly, “Wow!” My coworkers all think I am a nut anyway, but this pretty much added to the reputation. If this doesn’t make you want to run in circles and howl at the moon, I suspect you don’t get excited about things like this.
What this technology means to the world of photography is that focus may end up being a relative concept and that adaptive technologies such as this can save more pictures from the rubbish bin. To me, that is exciting.
Watch it!
