Over the weekend I stumbled into The Library of Congress’ historical photos collections on Flickr. What a great find! I’ve being going through each and every one of the photos and reading descriptions and stories added by Flickr users just like myself.

Bravo to The Library of Congress, for reaching out to broader viewers leveraging popular online media.

Poladroid turns digital photos into Polaroids. I had tons of fun playing with it.

Ktula spurred my curiosity about HDR (High Dynamic Range) with a link to series of amazing HDR photos in flickr. These photos pick up the most intense colors spectrum one rarely sees in natural themed photography. And the details brought up by the color depths were simply startling.

So I started playing around with the software with series of snapshots taken in the office. Not sure if it only works with outdoor open sky images, both photo sets turned out rather disappointing. I have yet to figure out the key to good HDR images. At this point, Photoshop is still my preferred color manipulation tool.
