We’ve had so much CS5-related news to share lately that I haven’t gotten to spend much time posting unrelated interestingness. In case you dig that type of thing, I’m going quick n’ dirty (er, cheap n’ cheerful) and unloading some of my recent finds:
- Photography:
- “Matthew Albanese‘s photos of dramatic landscapes are gorgeous, but they are not what they first seem to be. These are meticulously hand-made models.” [Via]
- Tim Hetherington has captured raw, eye-opening photography of Liberian war graffiti.
- Science-y:
- Grab my Kenobi: Holograms you can feel (?).
- In early July, “a photographer took a picture of what appears to be three Suns rising over Gdansk Bay in Poland,” writes Kottke.
- Nebulous: Celestial soap bubble. (The fact that the thing got dubbed “PN G75.5+1.7” makes me feel a little better about some of Adobe’s naming choices.) [Via]
- Auto-Align, feelin’ fine: How Photoshop Helped Save My Dad from eBay Fraud. [Via]
- Shape Collage is a “Free Automatic Photo Collage Maker.”
Small caveat: calling Shape Collage “free” is a bit disingenuous given that the free version drops a watermark on everything you create with it. But the working paid version is fer sher a cool app. I’ve been meaning to get it since I saw it on Photojojo.
Hey John, I didn’t like Tim Hetherington’s site. The guys that built it were showing off their own abilities not the photographer’s. I got through three photos and gave up. Navigation shouldn’t be something you have to work for. If I’m the site owner and I want to show my photos I want the audience to be able to shuffle through them with ease.
