I love to look at the heavens and I got a few apps on my iPad that help me identify heavenly objects. Sometimes I try looking with a tele-lens on my digital camera  but pointing it to a specific planet or star is quite difficult. There are a number of …

I wrote a number of posts on computational photography because this is the future of photography, particularly for mass market photography (although computational photography is what is being used today in most scientific image capture, including the impressive image of the black hole we saw last year). There is also …

The number of photos taken everyday is mind-boggling. And, to tell the truth, no one knows exactly how many. The info I was able to gather on the web varies widely, from 1 trillion to 15 trillion photos taken in 2018, that means between 2.7 to 41 billion photos every …

Nature has evolved an impressive variety of eyes, not just in shape but also in characteristics. You may want to take a look at this wonderful article, from where I extracted the photos of a variety of eyes, to “see” what animals can “see”. I found it an amazing and …

A digital camera is harvesting light in front of the lens and takes it to the sensor. Rays bounced from what is in front of the camera come from any direction and are bent by the lenses to hit the image sensor. Those rays that are directed to the edges …

The second disruption that swept the photographic world was again the result of technology evolution although it was sprinkled with cultural aspects, fuelled by flanking value chains, making this an interesting disruption to analyse. As shown in the graphic produced by the Camera and Imaging Product Association the market of …

The Digital Transformation with its resulting loss of value (it opens up newer value creation opportunities, as well, and I will consider those later) disrupts business affecting incumbent players and opening the doors to new ones. Disruptions can have different roots that may be difficult to pinpoint. Sometimes it may …

First Winter day (or Summer day if you are down under) and so it is appropriate to “freeze”. Actually, it is not freezing in the way of cold, rather freezing in the way of slowing down something that we probably watched many times but we never actually see what happened …

I wrote a post some time ago on the shift towards computational photography. Now I stumbled onto an article pointing out what computational photography might bring in the coming decade (we are just a year away!). Computational photography is the way to make use of data collected by the camera …

The number of photos taken with film camera peaked in 1999 when consumers around the world took some 80 billion photos. In 2018 consumers are sharing some 3 billion photos a day, that is 1.1 trillion a year. Overall, digital photos have exceeded 1.2 trillion a year and the number …
