  angle 60
look_at vinv_transform(<0,0,-1>,

  focal_point <0.0,3.5,1>
         aperture 0.5
         blur_samples 100

         variance 1/10000
}


The second example use a macro that is designed to inverse the 
transformation provided, so, it don't need to be explicitely inverted.

Both macros take 2 parameters:
1 - The vector to be transformed.
2 - The transformation to be applyed.
