Just indulging in a little fantasy concerning future photographic technology --- right now it's digital & mega-pixels --- lots of fun watching the new models come out like the Nikon D200 or the new Olympus E-VOLT 330 with it's live LCD preview ---- but where can it go in the distant future ? ---- anyone care to guess ? ---as for me -- I've found that many times when walking through a downtown area with a swirl of people and colour around me - I'll catch some wonderful scene that plays out in a split second or less ( and then it's gone ) --- and that image will linger in my mind -- what a GREAT photograph that would've made! - but no one with a conventional camera could ever react that quickly - so I was musing on whether it would be even possible for some kind of future photographic device to be wired into what the eye actually sees -- or at least a good facsimile of such.........maybe an intentional blink of the eye could trigger the capture! LOL ! ------- and the subjects would never know -- completely natural results unprejudiced by the spotted photographer --- but is this even possible? --- So -- I would ask - where can still photography go from here ? --------any thoughts ?? -- ok --- so I'm overtired -- just musing.
