Inspiring Photo Blogs - DearTroy and The Land Between Here And Mountains

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

I was recently looking for some good photo blogs and came up short on anything I could really see myself following on a daily basis, until these two. I think one was listed on smashingmagazine.com and another on wanken.com and they’re definitely the kind of thing I was looking for:

As I’ve been learning more about photography since buying a Nikon D90 last October, I’ve found that I gravitate more towards the saturated, older film camera images both in terms of what I like looking at and how I like to edit my own photos after taking them. Of course I laugh at the fact that I’m using a pretty sophisticated, modern digital camera to take great vivid photos and then manipulate them to look old, but there’s something much more alive about these kinds of photos. They just have more of a personality to them than sharp, vivid photos.

A great Flickr gallery was posted over at qbn.com that includes all sorts of photos of an AT-AT at the beach, walking around the house, and various other situations. Suffice to say, seeing this was a great way to start my day and it’s all downhill from here.
