Collage of Images

I wrote a Python script to turn all the images, in a directory, into one big collage image.

It’s a 1MB file of about 1800 images.

Here’s another (with my code modifications done): view.

Feel free to critique my programming; it’s only my second Python script. There’s limited error-handling.

Here’s a handy one-liner (Mac OSX for me) to get all your images into one directory (I couldn’t be bothered to do recursion in my Python script):

find -iname "*.JPG" -print0 | xargs -0 -J% cp -i %

I’m back from two weeks in Ontario.

This is the best photo I’ve taken so far: Flickr. I’m putting off purchasing a macro lens, if I can get more pics like this.

The original resolution (3888 × 2592) is even better.

More experiments with depth-of-field.

Aperture Priority

Think I’ve finally managed to take a picture with my D-SLR, where the object in the foreground is sharp and the background is blurred. Need to do some more experiments.

Might even go on a Canon training course.

I’ve uploaded the pictures from Laos and Cambodia onto Flickr.

A friend sent me a link to this lodge in Cambodia.
