The list was getting far too big, so to inundate you with yet another blog post, check out some or even all of the links below.

These are things that over the past month have inspired me, made the think, laugh, made me go ‘Ah ha!’ and all other whatevers that have given a somewhat slightly stronger response than the other posts I’ve been reading. ie. They wound up in Google Starred section.

By some fluke it seems the girls have won this time, with some nice familiar regular ‘starred’ faces showing up, along with some new ones.

Well, I was moseying around on Ebay looking at lomographic cameras with minimal success (And I’m worried about cost re. film) and then decided to have a poke around to see if there were any digital equivalents. There aren’t – or I didn’t look far enough. Obviously with the likes of Photoshop this is unimportant as you can just about do anything anyway. Why I hadn’t already considered this beats me.

Digital Photography School has a tutorial on turning your digital images into lomographs. I’d seen this months ago but it was nice to find it again.

So I think I might find a Polaroid digital equivalent too, and have a bit of fun. Should I post some of my efforts?

This is really quite interesting. I’d love one of these cameras!

Back in December I had a short inspired moment to pursue digital painting. Well I gave it a shot today. I used this tutorial which although isn’t brilliantly interesting, still looked better than some of the others around and seemingly not hideously complicated.

So here is the result. I dumped in an island and a bit more cloud to give it a Solomony/Savo feel. It’s really quite boring, but I’m not devastated with the effort. Infact considering I did this all on Photoshop with just a brush and a smudge tool (okay I might’ve made some hue/lighting changes too), I’m pretty happy. I don’t like the sand. All up it is more wispy than the tutorial, but I dare say one shot is not destined for accuracy, it takes many.

*And some further changes an d a crop. I like this better:
