Focus…with a Twist

The Lytro camera is truly a revolution in photography. This new type of camera takes “living pictures” that allows you to refocus a picture AFTER you have taken the picture. This means you can change the depth of field post production. If you’ve ever taken an out of focus picture , you know what a BIG DEAL this is.

Yes, I want one. But I’m short the $399-$499 to get started.

But I do have a couple of bucks…and I would like to experiment with this kind of photography.

Enter FocusTwist. A 2$ iPhone app that re-focuses photos like a $400 Lytro.

It’s not perfect, and it’s best if you use a tripod. But it is SUPER cool. AND it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
