Nibs, meet Lytro.

Click the part of the image you want to focus on. Lytro mojo takes care of the rest. (If no images show up the first time you load, hit refresh.)

Here, two Parker 5th “nibs.” In front, a lady’s Parker 5th with rose gold-colored section and what is, for lack of a better phrase, a nib-shaped felt tip refill cover. Behind it, a guy’s Parker 5th. To see it in focus, click it. The men’s pens come standard with medium nibs, the lady’s pens with fine nibs. Oh, Parker.

Three Waterman nibs. Click each one to focus on it. A Waterman music nib in a shiny black safety, then a Pink nib, then a classic #2 nib in a 52V.

This was hard to do without Blu-Tack. On top, a huge nib in the Edison Huron Grande. Beneath, an Eversharp Gold Seal Flexible nib seems suddenly small. Click to focus.

This image has no nibs in it but has 3 clear focus points (stick, branch, foliage) and lots of greens and browns, which are kind to your eyes.

    Very cool!  I’ve been wanting one of those cameras, but I just dropped a chunk on a 5D.

  • Thomas Overfield

    The focus shift is cool but I’m waiting for them to increase image quality, flexibility, and camera hardware before I take a plunge on a lightfield device. It’ll be interesting to see how this type of image capture evolves.

    I once tried to make a picture of a nib using a DSLR camera with Marco Lens. It involved a lot of shooting and cursing. Mainly because I was shaking a little which makes the camera focus on a different area each time. This lytro thing seems to do it easier. (which doesn’t mean I want it. It means I need to practice shooting with a macro lens)

    Lytro is so cool. Thanks for sharing this! I’m thinking every online vendor is going to need this in the future.

    Cool.

    BTW, did you get this locally? No problem taking photos with a screen that small?

    No, a friend of mine got it for me in the US. No problem taking photos, but it does take some getting used to. :)

    Wow.  What sorcery is this?  (From a guy who has a 2-megapixel camera)

    Amazing!
