Submission + - Computational Photography Further Blurs Reality
kdawson writes: (From the see-it-when-I-believe-it department) We're already wary of trusting that photos we see online or in print represent unaltered, unmanipulated reality. Techniques of computational photography that have been demonstrated at graphics conferences show how the lighting in a room, the position of the camera, the point of focus, and even the expressions on people's faces can all be chosen after the light is captured. The moment that the picture so beautifully captures may never have actually happened. The article calls this development "arguably the biggest step in photography since the move away from film."
