pushing the notion of a video camera

A bit of the exotic in the Lytro Cinema camera.  The thing will rent for a large sum.  Traditionally new techniques take some time for experience to build.  This may well be a view of the future, but history suggests it will be some time before uses acquire the experience necessary to use it artistically.

museum quality scans

Ian has been scanning delicate artifacts for a museum and noted a six part primer.  In case there is interest...  perhaps some of you will be scanning objects for 3d printing.

 

 

camera progression

Many people move to newer smartphones mostly for better cameras.  Progress has been remarkable in the past eight years.  Here's a comparison of iPhone cameras.

 

fine astrophotography

The beautiful work of Marco Lorenzi who runs a small digital observatory remotely in the Australian outback.  Very precise tracking, long multiple exposures with color filters and large CCD array and often tiling images to obtain detail large objects, his results are about as good as amateurs get.

Spend a bit of time and look through his site.  I'm particularly taken with his nebula work
