Flickr-ing

I've been browsing Flickr sets a bit recently, so thought i'd do a composite of the user sets i liked the most...

First up is spidrwegian. He's taken some amazing, atmospheric photos from around Scotland and the rest of the UK. The ones that really caught my eye are in his Camera Toss set. Camera tossing is the risky art of tossing your camera in the air so it takes a photo mid-flight. (remembering to catch it again!) The technique results in some beautiful abstract images - visit the Camera Toss Flickr Pool for over 2000 great examples.

On a similar project theme is the set Project 365 '06 from Taylor McKnight, who garned attention two years ago with his project to take one photo a day for 365 days. It was a big success, so he's repeating it this year with some great results. It's a fascinating way of documenting your life and a brilliant means of refining your photography skills. He has a link on his pages to an article with tips if you fancy trying it!

I have a thing for montage, and a bit of a soft spot for all the collectors of number photos on Flickr - brilliantly executed in the Clockr screensaver. One user to bring this all together is Claudecf with her mosaic of alphabets and numbers. She's a talented and very prolific photographer. Her other sets are well worth a look - ranging from the collections (including squircles, medallions, knobs and handles) to the thousands of photos from her holidays and trips across the world.

Finally, for a bit of a relaxing view are some evocative photos of Greece from moritz. It looks such a beautiful part of the world in these few images. Makes me want to quit my job and emmigrate!
