New model of +Lytro? No…but they keep adding features via software updates! Besides focusing-after-the-fact and the existing creative-mode capabilities….
1. Now you can manually adjust shutter speed from 1/250th to 8 seconds.
2. You can activate the neutral density filter to allow for longer exposures in bright light
3. You can choose the ISO from 80 to 3200 to make your own decisions about trade-offs between lower noise vs. faster shutter speed
4. You can now lock the exposure and recompose the shot (AE lock).

I'm looking forward to the future where higher megapixel counts will make refocusable video a reality.

Red Maple…6 Weeks Later
I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since I posted the previous #macromonday pic of our front yard Red Maple. This was taken today, during a short break in our first rainfall of the season.
The colors are definitely showing, but before all is said and done, the leaves will be a fire-engine red.
The previous pic can be found at https://plus.google.com/u/0/105845861210914905032/posts/VayNvuQzFbu

For today's #blastfromthepast , I hope it's ok if I re-share a pic I posted about 6 months ago.
+Kalebra Kelby's cute story of Yittle's first "big girl' eye exam (see that post at https://plus.google.com/u/0/107430637753481876221/posts/VKjfYrd8DAg ) reminded me again of my mom…(who we lost in 2005).
Mom was born in Mexico where my grandfather and grandmother had set up a missionary medical clinic. Grandpa knew early on that mom had poor vision, and at 18-months old, he ground the lenses to make her very first eyeglasses.
(how he knew what prescription to use for a toddler is beyond me!)
This is mom at 3-years old (1934).
Grandpa would have loved the technology we have today…we have many of his 16mm movies from the 1930s, as well as a variety of old cameras (including 3-D), and he developed a number of revolutionary devices to assist with orthopedic surgery.
Sadly, he died in 1966 before all the real techie fun began, and before I was old enough to really know him.

You're Useless to Me
Perhaps technically you're not broken…
…but it doesn't matter. You're useless to me.
You just don't thrill me anymore, so I've moved on to newer, shinier, faster…
…but now I wonder… where will I end up when my own processing power and memory start to falter?

A little test I've been doing with viewing images in various browsers
It seems that (at least on my machine… a Macbook Air, Mountain Lion, Chrome v 22), that Chrome is desaturating my original images, while displaying them in Safari is softening them compared to the original.
In the past few months, Chrome has added color management so it understands the colorspace correctly, but I don't understand what's happening with saturation.
The first image in the album is the original uploaded one. The next two here are screen snapshots from Chrome & Safari, from Lightbox view.
The last one is a screen capture with two Safari windows open, one in G+, one from the file uploaded from LR to Google Drive.
What do you see with your particular operating system/browser?
Update Finally figured out that the big culprit here was that I was calibrating my monitor with a ColorMunki Photo set to generate ICC v4 profiles… and Chrome only understands v2.
