Hello All! As you well know, I don't know much about anything--but two items have recently crossed my path that I thought might benefit the spider community. Ususal disclaimers etc. etc.!! First--there will be a digital photography webinar on March 20th. Info at: www.funkandweber.com/best-photo-forward-webinar/ The class & materials are geared toward embroidery, but I'm thinking that embroiderers & lacemakers share some of the same issues when photographing our work. And you could always email Jen to see if I've led you astray! Second--in today's Palm Beach Post, there was article about a new type of camera called Lytro. https://www.lytro.com/camera This camera uses light-field technology from Stanford University that allows the camera to capture all the light in the *picture*. Photos are measured in megarays rather than megapixels allowing any photo to be adjusted or refocused after the fact, by photographer or viewer. User software is contained within the camer! a so when you connect by USB, it installs itself on your computer automatically, then clicking anywhere on the photo refocuses to that specific point. I'm sure there are some techies among us who have seen this technology in action in the scientific community so maybe there are caveats?? For the time being, the Lytro only works with Apple's Mac system but a Windows version is coming. Anyway, a giant leap forward from the Kodak days & a potential way to say me from myself when using a camera! And it sounds like item 2 will make item 1 obsolete in the future.
