Où trouver des photos gratuites et de qualité pour vos créations ? Un nouveau mouvement de partage a vu le jour sur le web depuis quelques mois : les designers et photographes s’organisent pour mettre à disposition des photos gratuites, libres de droits et de qualité pour vos créations. Traditionnellement en agence, les photos pour illustrer nos maquettes et un projet finalisé proviennent de banques d’images comme IStock, Fotolia, Shutterstock ou encore Getty Image pour ne citer qu’elles. Les banques de photos libres de droits et gratuites existent-elle depuis belle lurette, comme le site SXC.hu par exemple. Au-delà de ces méthodes « classiques », une sorte de tendance d’entraide entre créatifs du web voit ouvrir de nouveau sites, proposant des photos gratuites de toutes beautés. Évidement, ici, pas de moteur de recherche multi-critères, pas de séries de photos, pas de portraits… Non, sur ces sites vous trouverez des photos originales pour illustrer vos sites web.

29 Most Eerie Photos of The Abandoned and Bankrupt City of Detroit For decades Detroit stood as a testament to the might of American manufacturing and industry. The auto industry thrived in the city and the city thrived around it. Over time, the decay of the American automotive industry and outsourcing to foreign factories caused this once thriving city into decline. Now, the city sits in bankruptcy, properties falling into ruins and decay. The abandoned places of Detroit explored and photographed by Yves Manchand and Romain Meffre of Paris show the grandeur of the history of Detroit and at the same time expose the horror of the city’s financial disaster. One of the most stunning photographs captured by this pair of urban explorers is in the vault of a failed Detroit bank. Via Marchand Meffre
HDR Photoshop effect The most important is first step, it is a base of HDR Photoshop effect. Use command image > adjustment > shadow/highlight and set up values: shadows amount: 50%, tonal width 45%, radius 41 px; High-light amount 83%, tonal width 76%, radius 1120px; Duplicate layer "base" and set up its layer blending to Color Dodge. This blending gives picture strong colors and cause that light areas turn into pure white. Do the same thing as in the second step, but layer blending is set up to Linear Burn now. Fourth step is easy, it profits from third step. Now it's time to adjust picture look, try to experiment with layer opacity. Set up foreground color to white and use command select > color range with fuzziness set up around 100. The last step colorize picture into red tones. I use some other adjustmenst to achieve HDR look. You needn't do manually all this steps again and again, much easier is to use HDR Photoshop action, which do the all work for you.
Abandoned & Forgotten Monuments from the Former Yugoslavia Jan Kempenaers journeyed throughout the region stepping into Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, and other territories from the former republic. Hidden in these countries are a numerous large monuments that were built to honor the end of World War II and were major tourist attractions. Since the breakup of the republic and the bloody civil wars that rocked the region the monuments have gone unnoticed, unremembered, and ignored. Jan Kempenaers took his camera and captured the grandeur of the monuments to remind the world of their beauty and to try to rekindle the stories hidden behind each monument, which have faded from our minds. It is both Jan and our hopes that as the world remembers these treasures the renewed interest helps preserve their beauty and bring their stories of hope and wishes of peace back to the forefront.

Apprendre la photo, le blog | Just how big is a Minecraft world? Big, as it turns out. Sometimes I worry that we don’t unsheathe some of the really big numbers nearly often enough to justify their existence, so it’s nice that Mojang consistently deal in ten consecutive digits or more. Two hundred sixty-two quadrillion, one hundred and forty-four trillion. That’s the number of block-spaces you’ll find in a fully-explored Minecraft world. More or less infinite, is the point. I’ll refer you to FriskyShotgun on the Minecraft subreddit, who’s created an infographic for the dual purposes of maths-checking and inspiring awe.

Etats-Unis : des photos des années 30 et 40 en couleurs Revivre l’histoire Américaine des années 1930 et 1940 en couleur, c’est ce que propose la bibliothèque du Congrès américain, à travers une série de clichés prises à cette époque. Le Flickr de la bibliothèque dévoile une collection de photographies de la Grande dépression et de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, une époque dont les photos couleurs sont plutôt rares. Des photographes travaillant pour la FSA (Farm Security Administration) et l’OWI (Office of War Information) ont pris ces 16 000 images entre 1939 et 1944 qui "dépeignent la vie aux Etats-Unis, avec un accent sur les zones rurales et le travail agricole" explique le site. Elles viennent compléter les photographies en noir et blanc plus connues des photographes FSA/OWI, réalisées au cours de la même période. La bibliothèque conserve les clichés originaux mais offre les copies numériques, afin d’assurer une large disponibilité. Des photos restaurées, datant des années 1800
These 6 Abandoned Places Will Haunt Your Dreams From New York to Namibia, some of the most beautiful places in the world are in its forgotten corners. 1. IM Cooling Tower, Belgium Once used to cool chemical waste before transmitting it to the atmosphere, the tower has been out of commission since 2006. 2. Located in the Namibian desert, Kolmanskop is a reminder of the diamond-boom that engulfed Namibia in the early 1900s. An empty ghost town, the desert sands and winds started to take back the city: rendering it spooky, decrepit and kind of beautiful. 3. What to do with a wrecked coal ship? 4.

Comment choisir son flash ? La photographie au flash est une pratique ardue, souvent délaissée par les photographes. Mal maîtrisé, le flash écrase les perspectives et donne des résultats décevants. Pourtant, il peut se révéler extraordinaire, quel que soit le genre photographique dans lequel vous exercez ! Que vous utilisiez le flash d'appoint de votre appareil ou un flash de reportage plus conséquent, les possibilités qu'offre ce petit éclair de lumière sont immenses… Le flash embarqué : un gadget ou un incontournable ? Pour commencer, intéressons-nous aux flashes d’appoint embarqués dans certains appareils. Le petit flash d’appoint du Canon EOS 600D et le bouton permettant de le déployer : ne sous-estimez pas ses possibilités ! Cependant, tous les reflex n’en sont pas systématiquement équipés. Les reflex professionnels Canon EOS 1D Mark IV et Nikon D3x sont dépourvus de flash d’appoint. Tous les COI (Compacts à Objectifs interchangeables) ne disposent pas d’un petit flash d’appoint.
