Have you ever been curious to try out some of the new photography gadgets that let you play with the focus of a shot after you’ve taken it? They’re called DOF-Changeable images, and the web has been a-buzz about them for a while now. Unfortunately, the $400 pricetag (like the sweet looking Lytro) makes it a bit out-of-range to buy one just for tinkering.
For those too impatient to read through text, the gist is that we created a similar effect using a basic digital SLR camera and shooting video (getting depth-of-field information by capturing it over time instead of over space as Lytro does). See for yourself by clicking around on the images we captured below using video.
