This is most interesting dissertation work for PhD from Stanford University about a Light Field Photography. In short a photography where you can choose your focus after you took the picture! It’s done with micro-lenses near the CCD. The trade of is resolution of picture, but you can choose your DOF afterward! I read it briefly and will try to read it more carefully, it’s full of “wizardry” and equations…but a must read for DP to stay on top what is happening with picture, or could happen! I get idea how this will benefit in X-ray photography….

The Great Shootout 2011
I reccomend all to watch this great shootout made by Zacuto, Kesler Crane and members of ASC as is Nancy Schreiber. There is interesting shots about latitude. Check this frame grabs and closely watch the original video on this link. Zacuto Great 2011 Camera Shootout. I must say, that the results for film are little bit off. First you rating the film and digital as 800 and the film 5219 is 500T stock, which suits Alexa cos it is rated 800. Second the latitude in negativ is still higher, when you not pushing or underexposing it as must happen in this shot. Nevertheless the digital cameras working better in low light. Interesting enough, just notice how horrible the Canon’s looks due to compression. That’s for all people trying to shoot a feature with it! And as this is not color corrected check which camera is showing the colors normally and which is totally off. Looking forward more to a problem of Colors and Motion. Stay tuned and ask questions if any…
