Couple of links I picked up over the last few days..

• Photographic: Photo Techniques – so much here, definitely worth a look!
• Photo Mosaic – GIMP plugin that’ll recreate an image out of others in a mosaic.
• taking Control Over Depth Of Field – It’s Photoshop orientated but the ideas here can probably be transported to the GIMP easily enough.

Defamatory, humiliating, or libelous uses are specifically and emphatically PROHIBITED! – What can you do with a photograph? Here’s what Comstock.com says about this.

On a a beautiful day in Garretstown I snapped this man minding his grandkids. Looks like he’d rather be anywhere but there!

The same Daisy as yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny day when I took this photo. The rain’s pouring out of the heavens today. 🙁

p a t r i c k d u r a n d has some great stuff on his site. Check out the “Vertical Cities” for unusual pictures of Paris! And wow, the rest are brilliant too.
Hats off to this guy, he’s talented!

Taken on a very sunny Tuesday afternoon but post-processing in the GIMP gave me the desired effect. Hope you like it!

The August 2004 Issue of The Digital Journalist is now out and from a quick scan looks as good as previous offerings, including The Death of a Famous Unknown, an article about Henri Cartier-Bresson. No wonder I didn’t know about him :-

One of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s favorite quotations was from the French painter Degas, who declared that it was “wonderful to be famous as long as you remain unknown.”

Here’s another excellent tutorial by the GIMP Guru, Eric Jeschke. This time he tackles restoring old photographs and does a pretty decent job of it!
I have a few old photos I’d like to try restoring, this might get me motivated to do so!

I took this a few weeks ago. Both cats had been asleep and were miaowing for food and attention! Next thing I knew, Zara was rubbing against my leg, and Zak had stretched out on the corridor floor lazily watching his sister play.

I should have included these 50 tips in yesterday’s round-up of PP links. Great stuff there, so go take a look at their front page!

Mark posted links to several PP articles, some of which I’m interested in!

• Blur Busters! – about the new anti-shake/vibration technology in cameras. Nice.
• Divorce, Digital Style – hehe. Made me smile, could be useful if I want to resurrect some of my old photos!
• The Photoshop Makeover – Nip/Tuck begone! I can do the same on my PC!
• Darkroom vs. Desktop – a fun look at the differences between them!
