It was two weeks ago today I did a set of links all about photography. Well, it appears that I’ve piled up a bunch more for today. It’s interesting. I’ve been reading and thinking about taking pictures a lot lately, but I haven’t been much with the doing. I think the problem is that I don’t take good pictures unless I have time to wander around and slow my brain down, and that time has been in short supply lately. Plus the weather hasn’t been especially conducive to long walks around outside.
So anyway, here’s a raft of links. And if the weather coöperates this weekend, I’ll probably be out and about and have some pictures to show y’all. Which might also prompt me to update the software on my server that serves up the pictures. Or at least get it back on the to-do list.
- Looking for a Nude Calendar? There’s a lot of folks out there making ’em, apparently. [kottke]
- Many people online are effectively saying: Here I Am Taking My Own Picture. The NYT takes a look at how the younger crowd is much more likely to have more pictures of themselves online. [photoshop news]
- Rob over at Cockeyed is putting together a Height / Weight chart with Photographs. If you feel like contributing a photo, especially if you’re an outlier, I’m sure he’d appreciate it. [kottke]
- I’ve learned an interesting photography term recently: Bokeh. I’ve also talked with people at work, and have some ideas about how to fix pictures taken with a lens with bad bokeh. [holy schmoly]
- I find myself interested in HDTR: High Dynamic Time Range Images, too. But I realize that I’ll never find the time to experiment with them. But maybe I’ll get a chance to play with High Dynamic Range.
- The Flickr: Foodography Dairy group and the older Foodography 1: Oranges aren’t the only fruit groups have some interesting pictures of food. No need to wander around in the cold for those.
- Finally, here’s a toy I was pointed to: the Face transformer image upload theoretically lets you morph faces around. Haven’t had time to play with it, but maybe a reader will clue me in?
