The Commercial Creative Commons Photo Sampler - The best CC photos on Flickr, selected daily

I have my eye on a Canon EOS 550D

It’s been a year and a half since I bought my little Canon IXUS camera (I never did hack it with the CHDK!) and while it can produce some great results (amazing macros!), it’s had some obvious limitations. Satisfyingly though, I’ve had several people tell me that they assumed I was already using an SLR, so hopefully having a more substantial camera will help me further improve my photography.

I’m in the process of reading a lot of reviews, and I’ve started using the Canon EOS 550D as my baseline.

The ability to shoot full HD video at 30fps is a major factor as I have aspirations to shoot a short film at some point. I had a bit of a play with a friend’s 500D, and it’s a good size and weight - pretty light actually. Hopefully I’ll have whatever I end up choosing by June, in time for the Photomarathon.

I’ve also got my eye on some funky lenses. 

Whatever I end up getting, I’m certainly going to be keeping my IXUS on me at all times. I also have ambitions to do much more lomo photography this summer.

Hin Chua: After the Fall

worldwidewebber:

I’m a big fan of photos that focus on the man made rather than pictures of people, these photos by Hin Chua have an eeriness about them that nods to some kind of post-apocalyptic world, well one that didn’t include a big explosion. Enjoy.

Gemini Multi-Shot Animator: Make animated GIFs with your iPhone

I’m a big fan of QuadCamera for the iPhone, who in their last update notes indicated that they may be adding support for animated GIFs in future. But that support is here right now with the very similar Gemini Multi-Shot Animator. 
This app takes 2, 4, 8 or 16 shots at specified shutter intervals (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2 or 3 seconds). You can then apply a variety of filters and export the results (either as a single image to the camera roll, or via email as an animated GIF. TwitPic is also supported).

You can specify all the important aspects of the GIF file (colour depth, dithering on or off) and choose from a variety of image sizes. It’s all rather well laid out. You can even import pictures back from the camera roll, making it possible to get creative with other apps. Perhaps you could use Brushes or something to make a finger painting animation?
It’s a paid app, about the price of two chocolate bars.

(I’m not sure how Posterous handles animated GIFs, so fingers crossed here!)

More pictures of the #UKSnow in Cardiff

Taken on my walk into work this morning. I’m particularly happy with the picture of the statue and the detail of the snow on the branches. The pictures of the railway tracks and of Llandaff Cathedral from afar are both shots I seem to take time and again.
The fisheye shot ended up kind of ugly, but I’m sure the projection is accurate. Not a favourite, but I’m leaving it in anyway. It consists of four source images, stitched together in Hugin.

Bootleg Falcon - my #thingaweek and #Daily365 for Sunday

I’ve decided that doing a daily design and a Thing a Week is a bit much work for someone who doesn’t do design or photography for a living, so I am going to be counting one photograph every week as a daily design, starting with this one.

For anyone unfamiliar with Thing a Week, it’s a Flickr photography group very much in the spirit of the design-a-day challenge. It’s open to anyone, so please join us if it sounds like fun to you.

This week’s theme was ‘Trivia’, and accordingly I will be including the following factoids with my entry: 
George Lucas had a $150,000 contract for writing and directing Star Wars, but he cannily insisted on 40% of merchandising - something the studio agreed to because they had no idea of what a phenomenon the franchise would become. In just the first year 42 million small action figures were sold.

Lucas once said that the shape of the Millennium Falcon was inspired by a hamburger. This toy pictured however is a bootleg, and would not have profited the Star Wars empire at all. The ship behind is a Nostromo knockoff from Alien.

A few snow pictures from this morning #UKSnow

I walked to work this morning in the hopes of getting a few nice pictures of Cardiff in the snow. I wish I had the day off to walk around snapping more, but this may be all I get.

Freedom #Daily365 

Today’s daily design. Not much inspiration this evening, so I produced another image for my typographs series.
