I found this over at the Dallas Morning News Technology blog which does a great job of describing it, just click where you want the photo to focus and it does it.
That’s not some kind of special effect with multiple photos. The camera actually shoots everything in the frame in focus, and then lets you pick which area you want in focus in the final shot. Or you can have everything in focus.
More photos to play with here.
The last construction barriers have been removed, the pneumatic hammers have fallen silent, and the final displaced employees have returned.
After 17 years, the job of renovating the Pentagon is complete. Little remains to be done but
the paperwork closing out the $4.5 billion program, which when it began was the world’s largest reconstruction project.
Constructing the building took just 17 frenetic months during World War II and remains one of the great engineering feats in U.S. history.
The Pentagon renovation, however, went on for so long that the first parts completed are showing their age, and some equipment — including fire alarms and electrical and mechanical systems — are already being upgraded.
Yet the remaking of the 6.5 million-square-foot, 29-acre site is considered such a success in industry circles that its “design-build” techniques have influenced other federal projects, including the rebuilding of levees by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans as well as the construction of a new research facility for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado.
A bear cub that gained fame when it had its photo snapped with a Newfoundland RCMP officer has been killed because it was feared to be too friendly. Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers with the Department of Justice euthanized the bear on the weekend after it was seen going up to customers at the Copper Kettle Restaurant inside Terra Nova National Park, near Gander. It had already proved to be a traffic hazard on the nearby Trans-Canada Highway.
Officials said they had previously trapped the cub and moved it to a more isolated spot, but it returned. As cute as the cub may have been, it was still dangerous, particularly because where there’s a cub, the mother is never far behind, said Kirby Tulk, acting resource conservation manager with the park.
This 880 pound alligator was killed near the Trinity River in Leon County during gator season. Dallas Attorney Levi G. McCathern II shot the huge alligator on a sandbar, but it rolled into deep water. The Alligator is among the five largest recorded since the 1980’s when modern records began being kept.
