Lytro warm-up & Ethics in Fashion photography

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo?
It let you pick where you wanted the picture to focus. And It Moved With Your Mouse.
2. How does this new camera work?

Rays of light entering the camera refract through the series of curved lenses and are captured on the light-field sensor. The micro-lens array in front of the sensor surface preserves each ray's direction. The light-field engine uses this information to process the image in 3D space, and determine the equivalent fixed physical lens-sensor distance for the chosen focal point. 






3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)

what each button does and what angle to take the photo at.


4. Is it worth the money?- i think it is.

No because while you are trying to be like the person you see on Billboards the person that's on it doesn't even look like that.

3. Are there circumstances in which it would be more ethically wrong to do this type of manipulation?

4. What types of changes are OK, and what aren't? Maybe changing the background color or stuff like that, not dramatically changing her look.

Abandoned Theme Parks

Okpo Land Theme Park, was a theme park in South Korea that was very popular in the 1990's. The park got shut down in 1999 because of 2 fatalities. The owner of the park diapered over night after the 2nd fatality and the park was left as is. I Would like to visit the park because everything was left untouched, even the cart that the young girl died in.
