Lytro Goes to Europe: Meet us during Photokina in Cologne

Next week, the Lytro Team is headed to Photokina in Cologne, Germany. Join us for a presentation by Lytro Director of Photography, Eric Cheng:

Turning Light Into Living Pictures
Photokina Communities Hall 5.1

Light field photography has the potential to revolutionize the way we take and experience pictures. This session will cover the capabilities of the Lytro camera and light field photography, including where the technology is today and a look at what it means for the industry and the future of photography.

Thursday, Sept. 20, 12:15-12:45pm
Friday, Sept. 21, 12:15-12:45pm
Saturday, Sept. 22, 2:30-3:00pm

This week, Eric will share this presentation at Photoshelter’s Luminance Conference at 9:15am on Thursday, Sept. 13.

Photowalks
If you’d like a chance to get your hands on a Lytro camera, register for one of three Lytro Photowalks. Eric and several other members of the Lytro Team will share tips and advice to help you quickly learn how to shoot with the Lytro camera. The Photowalks will be held outside of the Koelnmesse, so you do not need admission to Photokina to participate. Space is limited.

April Photowalks in Monterey and Phoenix

During the recent EG Conference in Monterey, photographer Trey Radcliff, invited the Lytro Team, including director of photography Eric Cheng, to join his photowalk.

About 15 newbie light field photographers tried out a Lytro camera for the first time, including David Polzine, who captured this extreme macro shot using Creative Mode.

We’ve posted many of their pictures on our Camp Lytro account, where you can check out pictures from all of Lytro’s photowalk, events, and demos.
