Remember Lytro's cool, but kinda gimmicky "light-field" photography? It let you take pictures without a defined focus point and post them on a special online platform, where users could click on which part they wanted to be sharp. It never caught on...
It has been 4 years since Lytro debuted its camera and we feel that NOW’s the correct time to be talking about it. 4 years ago, this camera came to the surface as the world’s first camera that could click a picture first, and then focus on the subject later. Still sounds like a dream, but the technique of Light Field Photography enabled the camera to capture the entire scene in focus and would then allow you to blur the background, or foreground AFTER clicking the picture.
The reason this is so relevant today is that photography is more integral to our daily lives NOW more than ever. We’re constantly clicking selfies and images, generating more than 4 billion photographs per day (we were at 1.8 billion in 2014). So much so, that phone companies have begun upping the ante on the cameras, with flagship phones having dual lens cameras to create a sense of depth.
However it’s important to remember that Lytro does that with just one lens, and allows you to focus on objects after having composed and clicked your picture. This is what we have now, but I imagine the future holds Light Field Cameras in smartphones. Imagine only having to focus on composing the photograph, rather than tapping on your screen to focus on subjects! With the Lytro, you have full control!
While there are plenty of advanced digital movie cameras, most of them aren't really designed for the modern realities of movie making, where computer-generated effects are seemingly ubiquitous. You'll still have to bust out the green screen if you...

It happened to most of us to get home after a vacation or a memorable event just to discover that some of the most important photos are out of focus. Lytro is a light field camera that enables you to focus photos after you’ve taken them, so it can actually save your hide if for some reason your life depends on the quality of those pictures.
Lytro, the manufacturer of this tiny light field camera, made it under the spotlight when it launched Illum, back in 2014. Even though two years have passed since then, Illum still doesn’t haven any competition, so one might say that Lytro reigns supreme in the field of light-field cameras. Bear in mind that the camera in question, the one you can buy in our store, is actually a Lytro Gen 1, which was launched prior to the possibly more famous Illum. That being said, Walyou Deals has this one on sale with a massive discount, so if out-of-focus images are your greatest fear, then you should really take advantage of the offer!
Living pictures, as Lytro has named the photos taken with its cameras, can be tweaked prior to being taken. That means that they capture all of the available light traveling in all of the possible directions, so if the thing you wished it were focus is actually out of focus, all is not lost yet.
This compact, durable and lightweight camera enables you to refocus, change perspective, or even view the photographed objects or persons in 3D. Each scene can have up to 11-million light rays. Also in the numbers department, you can store up to 350 photos in the camera’s internal storage of 8GB. That means that you’d be shooting the photos at a resolution that makes them clear enough, while also making them the right size for sharing online.
Bear in mind that the Lytro field-of-light camera comes with uploading software and photo filters, so you won’t have to outsource that on your own.
The Lytro Gen 1 camera is available in Graphite, Seaglass Green, Moxie Pink, and Electric Blue, costs $74.99 (originally $149), and can be purchased from Walyou Deals within the next 5 days. The camera may be 2 years old, but photos out of focus are a actual problem, so the Lytro still qualifies as a solution.
To sweeten the deal even more, our store offers a 96% discount on the Pro Digital Photography & Photoshop Bundle, meaning that you’ll only pay $29 instead of the $799 retail price.
The deal for this photography bundle expires in 5 days, and considering the incredible discount, if you’re interested in learning more about cameras and how to take better pictures, you really shouldn’t think twice before buying it. The bundle comprises of 30 hours of content and 27 instructional units that cover everything you need to know in order to master manual photography. On top of that, you’ll also learn to use Photoshop like an expert.
You guys remember the Lytro camera? It made headlines across the Internet a few years back because it introduced a novel way to take pictures, where you could just shoot whatever you wanted now, and focus on you actual subject later. It’s an entirely different mechanism than traditional cameras, and today it’s on special.
Most cameras capture the position of light rays, producing your average static 2D image. The Lytro dares to be different. Its cutting-edge technology records the direction of these rays, generating images you can later refocus, change perspective within, or view in 3D. You can essentially revisit the scene of the photo—meaning you’ll never miss snapping the perfect shot again.
– Take “living pictures” you can adjust afterwards
– Refocus your shots, change their perspective & view them in 3D
– Record 11-million light rays in each scene
– Store up to 350 photos at one time
– Easily carry it anywhere: design is compact, durable & lightweight
– Shoot photos at an optimal resolution for sharing online
– Access an array of tools including photo filters & uploading software
Normally $149, after today’s deal you’re looking at $74.99.
