Images Become Patterns

I came across this new tool called repper tonight. You basically upload a photo that you have, choose a section of that photo, and the app turns it into a eye-catching and unique design by repeating the image. The images make great backgrounds for desktops or websites. Plus, its free to use and the designs are created with Creative Commons license for non-commercial use!



Visit the site and try your hand at creating a design!

Photos from East Coast Trip

Check out my flickr stream for my latest pictures from my East Coast trip last month. I put up only a few, and hopefully it will give you an idea of the trip.

Confusing Traffic

I would imagine this road would be a little confusing to figure out where you are going.

HDR Photography

I've mentioned before about HDR photography. It's an amazing type of photography that uses multiple frames of the same shot taken at different exposures to get a good blend dark and light areas that can normally not be achieved through regular (especially digital) photography.

Here is a site that has 20 of the best HDR pictures that this guy has found. Enjoy.

Website Recommendation - Chromasia

I love taking pictures, as I've mentioned before. I also really enjoy looking at pictures, as I think this can give a person many good ideas for their own photography, in a kind of inspiring way.

One of my favorite photography blogs is Chromasia, which is a photo blog created by David Nightingale from Blackpool, England.

Not only are the pictures amazing, but if you subscribe to the feed for his picture blog, he adds a lot of great commentary on photography, photo manipulation, photography ethics, and many other interesting subjects.

Blackpool is on the coast in England, and as such many of his photographs are of the beach, pier and other coastal subjects, but he also takes a lot of photos of his adorable children, buildings, and interesting people of his city. Recently he has been posting a lot of HDR images, which give his photos even more of a dream like quality to them.

An interesting view of a lumber yard from the sky (via kottke.org)

I also like this one from the same site (both because of the sport, and because the shadows add another dimension to the photograph)

Photos of Life

A few years ago I set up a Flickr account for my photos. A lot of the pictures that are up there are from much closer to when I started the Flickr account, but I have added a few since then after various trips etc. Check out my photos here.

Here is just a small selection for your viewing pleasure, and hopefully it will convince you to head over there.







I really love photography, and I hope that I can continue taking lots of great pictures now that I have a new camera. So keep checking my Flickr photo page or subscribe to the RSS feed.
