Your privacy is safe. I will never share your information.

I love digital cameras. They allow you to take as many photos as you want and you can do amazing things with the digital photos in post-processing. However, it is easy to leave the photos in a computer folder and forget about them.

To avoid this, I make sure to occasionally print my photos.

At first I was making albums with them. But lately I’ve discovered a lot of easy, affordable and fun DIY creative photography ideas. Here are my 10 favourite creative project ideas!

10. Add a Scrapbook Paper Picture Mount

I usually look for a simple frame that won’t draw attention away from the photos themselves when I want to display them. But from time to time it’s nice to do things a bit differently and add colour or texture to the image. An easy way to do this is by changing the usually neutral picture mount for one you create from a scrapbook paper.


Choose a frame that is distinctively bigger than what fits your photo. This will leave you a lot of space around the photo for the picture mount. Cut the paper you chose so that it will cover the whole frame. Centre your photo and you’re done!
The good thing is that you can change the picture mount any time you feel like. And if you use double-sided paper, just flip it and you will give a totally different vibe to your photo.

9. Re-use Old Frames (Perfect for Kids)

There are a lot of ways to re-use wood frames, but I have two favourite creative photography ideas that I want to share with you. One way to do it is by drawing on it with a marker. Simple, isn’t it?
You can keep it easy by making a geometrical shape and repeat it all over the frame or you can get a bit more elaborate and draw a design.  I usually make the template with a pencil and then I fill it with a permanent marker.



Another way to decorate old frames is by adding washi tape. The ones with a transparent background works really well for this.


These two creative photography ideas are perfect for doing with kids because they are both fun and easy. And as you can see, creative photography ideas don’t require any complicated equipment either!

8. Custom Coasters

This one is a little more complicated. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • cork board
  • brushes
  • photo transfer glue
  • fixing varnish
  • water
  • sponge
  • dry towel
  • photo printed with a laser printer on regular paper (important!)


First of all you need to cut a cork board into tiles. I made mine 9 x 9 cm, but any other size would work fine. Just make sure your photo will fit, and use a sharp knife.

Cut out the photo and put the transfer glue on the image using a brush. You want to have a thin and equal layer over the whole surface. Place the photo facing down on the cork tile so that the glue connects between the tile and the photo. Then press them firmly together.


Let the glue dry for a few hours (I waited a day). Wet the paper with a sponge and start breaking it away gently by moving you finger (or the sponge) back and forth across the paper.


After cleaning all the paper away from the print, dry the tile with a towel. Be careful not to rip the print. Apply another layer of glue and when it dries fix the image with varnish.
And there you have it, your very own custom-made coaster. Keep in mind that when you transfer the photo you also flip it horizontally so print the photo as a mirror image (especially important if you have words in the photo).

7. DIY Photo Magnets

Print the photo you like either with your own printer at home or at a print shop. You can keep the photo as it is or you can personalise it a little by cutting the corners in different ways or writing some sentence or a nice quote on it.

To make sure your magnet will last for a long time, laminating it is a good option. I have a little laminating machine at home that comes in handy for this type of crafts. But if you don’t have one, you can laminate it in a copy service store or office supplies store.

You can turn your photo into a magnet with a piece of adhesive magnet tape. If it is a small photo, just a small bit of magnet at the center of the photo would be enough. If it is a big photo, add several little pieces in the corners and at the center to ensure that the magnet will adhere well and the photo doesn’t bend.

6. Stone Photo Holders

What you’ll need:

  • smooth riverbed stones/pebbles of medium size
  • metal wire (I used aluminium but steel wire can also work just fine)
  • needle-nose pliers
  • wire cutter
  • photos

Take a stone you like and then cut a length of wire. Depending on the size of the stone, you might need a longer or shorter wire. Keep in mind that you’ll need 10-30cm for the stalk/stand beside the length required to encircle the stone twice.
Wrap the wire around the stone twice and then tighten it so that the wire is firmly latched on to the stone. Use pliers to tighten it if needed. Make sure you have at least 15cm of wire left.
Create a 90 degrees angle in the wire so that it stands up perpendicular to the stone and the ground. With the pliers, twist two small loops at the tip of the wire, making sure the loops are pressing against each other.

Place your photo between the two loops. There you have it! Your very own stone photo holder!
If you want to give the stone a wet appearance and a bit of a glossy look, you can paint it with a bit of glue, lacquer or varnish before starting with the wire.

5. Photo Accordion in a Box

It is quite common to keep photos in a box. But it is a bit different to have them displayed on a long sheet of paper folded like an accordion.

Choose a box and cardboard. Measure the inner dimensions of the box. To fit nicely in the box, your cardboard should have a slightly narrower width and length than the box itself has.
Once you have your long section of cardboard, you need to fold it like an accordion. After that, glue your photos in each panel of the accordion and place it inside the box.
To make it easier to take the photos out of the box, you can put a small piece of washi tape or glue a short length of ribbon on the first panel. Decorating the box is optional. In my case, I decided to do it using washi tape. But you can also paint it, transfer a photo onto the cover, glue some scrapbook paper, and so on. The options are endless!

4. Turn Your Photos Into Wall Art

What you’ll need:

  • some narrow plywood boards or planks
  • bulldog clips
  • hot glue (or nails)
  • wood paints of two colours (optional)


I got the plywood in a supply store, but you can also re-use wooden boards. I decided to give them an aged appearance, but this is totally optional.
To get the aged effect you need two paints of the same base. I used water-based because it is easy to clean the brushes later. I chose blue and white because I love Mediterranean colours, but you can choose any combination of colours you like.
I painted the planks with one colour and left them to dry. Then I painted them with the second colour. After drying, you need to pass a sand paper in some areas to uncover the lower paint and even the wood. Once you’ve achieved the effect you like, you should apply varnish, lacquer or oil on the wood to protect it and give it a shiny look.

It is a bit time consuming because it requires several steps and waiting for the paint to dry, but it is also a fun challenge. Last thing to do is to glue some bulldog clips along the boards (or if you prefer you can use nails to fix them to the planks instead).

You can hang them directly on the wall or you can use a bulletin board or canvas if you prefer.

3.  Re-Use a Frame to Display Multiple Photos

For this craft you will need:

  • hook screws
  • elastic cord
  • frame


You can re-use an old frame you have home, preferably a relatively big one to be able to display more than one photo on it. First thing to do is open the frame to remove the back and the glass (if there is any). All you need is just the frame itself.
Place some hook screws on each of the lateral sides. The number of screws and the distance between them will depend on the pattern you want to make with the elastic cord. For example, I put four on one side and three on the other.
Once you have them in place, you need to pass an elastic cord through them starting from the upper screw and crossing from one side to the other as you go down.

You can also add screwsat the top and bottom of the frame and then you can build a web. Now you can hang your photos using for example tiny clothes pegs (from the craft or office stores) or beautiful clips.

2.  Greeting Cards (Perfect for Kids)

Greeting cards are always great. Even more so if they are handmade and have a meaningful photo on them. You’ll need:

  • photo
  • scissors/cutter
  • glue
  • cardboard

What you want is to make a case or a frame that you can fit a photo onto. To do so you need to measure your photo and cut the cardboard so that it is a bit wider than the width of the photo and a bit longer than double its length.
Fold the cardboard in the middle. Make sure that the two flaps are equal and fit each other nicely. Cut out a window in the middle of one of the flaps. It needs to be a bit smaller than the photo itself (5 mm on each side should be enough).
Glue the flaps together on two edges keeping the third opened so that you can slide the photo inside through it.
And that’s all! You have your very own handmade card!

1. Turn a Hanger Into a Photo Mobile

For this one you will need a regular wooden clothes hanger (or any other type you have at home), some meters of ribbon, hot glue and washi tape for optional decorations.

I started by decorating the hanger with some washi tape. I put some tape on the wood part and I wrapped some around the metal hook. I cut the ribbon into four 90 cm long pieces. I made a small loop in each ribbon around the hanger and I closed them with hot glue. Alternatively, you can also sow it.
I added a ribbon knot to decorate the hook and that’s it!

You just need to place your photos using tiny clothes pegs or clips.

 Conclusion

Printing your images and doing something creative with them is an excellent way to keep your art alive. These 10 photography ideas are affordable and a fun challenge. You can spend some time with your family and/or friends making them together and they are perfect as gifts! Most of them also allow you to interchange the photos easily.
This is great for your photography learning process because you can display photos from your projects or photography walks, study them without effort because you have them around and after a while you can change them for a new set of photos.

What to do with your digital photos? Tons of fantastic ideas

If you’re like me, you probably have taken upwards of 2,000 photos of your kids, your house, your pet, and even your food in the last year alone. And like me, you’re wondering what to do with your digital photos and hoping you can find a fun, creative way to get your favorite snapshots off your phone or those Facebook albums and out where everyone can see them, you’re in luck.

With so many services and options now, we’ve put together some of of our favorite ways to use all those photos and Instagram shots you have no doubt accumulated. – Kate and Liz

 

1. PRINTING SERVICES

The easiest way to get them off your camera is the most obvious—print them. Why does that feel so hard to do? It might have a little something to do with the lack of photo developer shops, like in the old days of film. One of our favorite digital age solutions is the iPhone Photo Printer, which prints photos directly off your phone (iPhone or Android). So simple. The prints are smudge and tear proof, but they aren’t cheap. It costs around $25 to print 12 pictures.

If it’s Instagram prints you’re wanting to make, check out Ink361 (at top). The prints are beautiful quality, ready for framing. And they start at about $1 each.

Another great option is Origrami (above). These prints look like little Polaroid pictures, but you don’t have to wave them around to dry them out. They come from a company in Australia, and 36 prints to a deck run you around $21 US.

 

2. PHOTO BOOKS


Another popular option for saving pictures, especially for families, is to make a photo book. You don’t get the texture of a real picture when you do this, but there are some amazing, beautiful options with truly archival quality that can make your photos a keepsake forever. And one of my favorite upsides? You can print as many copies as you want at one time, to keep copies for each of your kids so they don’t have to fight over them when they’re adults. If you’re not sure where to start, check out our comparison of 11 amazing photo book options including Blurb books, above.

 

3. SLIDE SHOWS AND VIDEOS


A really fun way to show off those pictures is to create a video with them the new-fangled way. With apps and websites like Animoto  you can easily create a free 30-second video slideshow of your photos. You can add music and share directly with your friends. I love this idea for school plays or field trips, soccer games, birthdays or Christmas morning. It’s a really fun way to share these memories with the people who shared them with you. Magisto is a terrific app for creating a slideshow of video segments rather than still photos. Our editor Kristen has some some great tips for getting the most of Magisto.

 

4.WALL-SIZE PHOTO PRINTS


There are many, many options out there for printing photos on canvases. And since they’re a little pricier than just getting a set of photo prints, I totally get that you want to be sure you’re going to get something you’re happy with. CanvasPop specializes in making canvases from your Instagram pictures, although you can print any pictures at all. Their prices start around $40 which is a very good deal. Picaboo is another favorite of ours, with a  wide range of surfaces to print on. You can print your photos on traditional canvases starting around $80, or solid panels starting at just $19.

 

5. PHOTO WRAPPING PAPER

We love this idea we covered in our creative gift wrap ideas this holiday season: make gift wrap from your photos. (This, via Most Lovely Things. ) Order an “engineering print” of your favorite pics; it’s especially striking with these black and white pics, don’t you think? A contrasting ribbon sets it off perfectly.

 

6. CUSTOM PHOTO CASES

There are so many services now for custom phone cases using your photos, photos on a phone case, from Tiny Prints to Case-Mate to  Casetagram which specifically works with your Instagram feed. But we’re particularly taken with the latest offering from Uncommon, which lets you create custom phone charging case with your photos for iPhone 5/5S. Not just cute–extremely practical.

 

7. PHOTO JEWELRY

Lockets have come a long way and while it’s still lovely to find a traditional one and pop a pic inside, there are now techier options like the Instagram Photo Jewelry at Antisparkle.

 

8. UNIQUE PHOTO GIFTS

 

We remember when it was revolutionary to print a photo on a handbag or a mug, and now you can make so many really innovative photo gifts it’s crazy. From the affordable Instagram magnets from Stickygram, to photo coasters, to Cocoagraph’s edible photos made of chocolate , the list just keeps growing.  And we keep giving.

Digital minimalism and what it is eaten with / Sudo Null IT News

How to stop storing gigabytes of accumulated files, letters and photos.

Fill yourself with books in reserve, save articles, fly into a bunch of most useful subscriptions. Take more pictures from all angles - well, you never know what. File "Plyushkin" is a whole lifestyle. I want to take all the best at once and never lose it. Even if you haven’t touched it for years, throwing out the conditional “100 best utilities of mankind” from the bookmarks is like a knife to the heart.

I myself struggle with blockages, and therefore I have collected thoughts from books on digital minimalism by Cal Newport and Anastasia Ryzhina, a popular article by Dan Sylvester and some of my own findings into one article.

Let's take a look at the four attention hogs:

What is the basic principle?

Minimalism is not a one-time start from scratch. This whole life is almost like a blank sheet - a lot of space and everything is in place. Only the most necessary, working and pleasing. It will take time, probably more than one day, but how much more pleasant it will be to live like that!

Minimalism doesn't just mean organizing all your files, bookmarks and emails. Minimalism is a conscious desire to reduce them to a minimum. Therefore, sorting programs will help, but the habit of producing too much will not be removed for you. The Cal Newport Principles will push you to reevaluate:

Principle #1 : Clutter is expensive. By wasting our time and attention on multiple devices, apps, and services, we are missing out on the benefits of each element individually.

Example: 10 hours of Twitter per week is too high a price to pay for its benefits. If you value new connections and ideas, why not attend an event once a month where you can connect with interesting people?

Principle #2: Optimization: looking for maximum value. For example, we read only a few top news sites. An even more effective option is to collect interesting articles for the week, then to review them on a Saturday morning in your favorite cafe. But further improvement of this process, most likely, will not bring significant benefits: you have already reached the limit of optimization.

Principle No. 3 : Intentional use. Digital minimalists derive satisfaction from their conscious interaction with technology.

Contrary to popular belief, Amish Jews do not reject modern technology, but find out if it does more harm or good to their values. If the benefits outweigh the benefits, then technologies are allowed with reservations. For example, the Amish can drive chauffeur-driven cars but cannot buy a car. Because car owners tend to drive to nearby towns on weekends instead of shopping locally for groceries and visiting elderly family members.

Cal Newport Bestselling author of "Digital minimalism", computer science lecturer at Georgetown University

When you're cluttered, you can't get out on your own. The entire Internet is working against you - the development and marketing teams are hunting for all your free hours and minutes, luring you into endless (and very interesting) feeds. This article also eats your time. But if you don't finish reading it, you won't get the tools to get started, and time will flow somewhere else.

Minimalism and files

With working files, it's relatively clear - a lot of things just didn't get around to. But a decent part of the memory is clogged with archives of personal photos. In the process of sorting, you will repeatedly get stuck in memories, re-reading, and how not to dump your young self in a couple of chats. This is fine. According to the principles of the book “Digital Minimalism”, although we are struggling with rubbish, it is important to leave the little things dear to our hearts.

Cleaning up working files

There is a slightly more radical "Zero Local Files" principle. Viewing, deleting, sorting. We scan all paper documents on the phone, even those that are needed in the original (Adobe Scan application). We throw off everything important in Dropbox / Drive. Once a month, take an offline backup of your entire Dropbox.

All authors agree on one thing - simple wallpapers, crystal clear on the desktop, in the downloads folder. Although the first point is too subjective.

How to clean things with debatable "practical use"?

Anastasia Ryzhina, author of the book "Digital Minimalism" believes that the test question: "What do I want to delete?" wrong. Usually you don't want to delete anything. Because it’s a pity, because they are used to it, because “what if it comes in handy?”. In the end, because laziness. If you change the wording to “How do I use it?”, You will delete several times more information - and there will be more free space on your devices and in your head.

Even if you look at a vacation album once every two years, you need it. Because he works. But if there are too many files and everything is expensive, remember your most favorite movie. Or music. Or the coolest photos - and the sensations after them. After that, delete everything that does not live up to this feeling in each of the categories. Let everything that always gives maximum joy remain.

Another piece of advice: if you have a creative stagnation, then get sloppy in the sphere of this creativity. Deleting the library, except for a couple of the best books, deleting the Inspiration folder - all this will give space and resource to search for new books and ideas.

A few tips on utilities:

  • For macOS owners: there is an excellent article on how to set up the system in 15 minutes so that it does not infuriate.

  • Google Photos itself sorts all pictures and videos by time.

  • 7-day free version of Duplicate Cleaner to remove duplicate files.

  • CleanUp is an iPhone app that removes similar photos and its Android counterpart. End of stacks of ten selfies and five sunsets.

Minimalism and email/messengers

People spend a third of their working time on work correspondence. And only a little more than half of them are really important and urgent. What about the rest?

Here's how to go digitally minimal when it comes to email:

  • No email checks before 11:00 a.m.: Spend the early morning doing things that advance your long-term goals.

  • Finished checking? Close it. Out of sight, out of mind

  • Set an end time: one Pomodoro cycle (25 minutes) per session is more than enough to process email.

  • Send fewer emails: Not every email needs to be answered, especially if it's a "Thank you!"

  • Answer with a maximum of three sentences. And if it takes more than 10 minutes to write a response, schedule a call. Or stand up and talk to a colleague in person. Communication always beats mail.

  • Unsubscribe from everything. Better yet, replace the endless raking of your Gmail with a box in Hey. Your mail will never be so convenient.

  • If moving from Gmail isn't an option, check out the Getting Things Done Gmail System.

Minimalism and social networks

The samurai of the ideal world break this approval needle and delete everything. But we are not samurai, and why lose LinkedIn or Facebook with hundreds of contacts to the work plan B. Social networks are often evil, but they can be remade to healthy rails.

Personal recommendation - leave one social network, the most profitable in professional/network terms (Facebook) and one for entertainment (Insta). Adjust their tapes accordingly. You don't have to delete the rest - just log out of your accounts, remove the apps, and turn off emails. So it will be much easier to check them and monitor the content if you post there.

What else:

  • unsubscribe from those whose activities inspire a sense of guilt for their lack of success;

  • social network gives inspiration, maintains contact with important people, you get positive more often - these two or three should be left;

  • remove applications from the phone - not an account, but only an application. This will already weaken the habit of entering;

  • turn off all notifications and only check a couple of times a day. The exception is work networks, where efficiency is important. And tell those closest to you to communicate any urgent things through calls;

  • if important information about discounts comes in push notifications, e-mail, and social networks, it's time to give up something.

  • First you come up with the principle of storage, then you store it. This is especially true for storing ideas. I know from personal experience that ideas are either written down on the phone, or in a notebook, or cooked somewhere in a chat with a friend. Here I wrote about the control of such fruits of creativity:

How can a beginner start taking notes using the Zettelkasten method in Obsidian and what is the point of it.

  • It is important to start decluttering as soon as possible - as long as there is motivation. Otherwise, you will forget, add to the list of dusty bookmarks and float away into the abyss of other things.

  • Let's start with the downloads folder? I'm willing to bet that sorting by "old age" will delete dozens of files in no time. But do not forget that freshly downloaded files immediately go to the correct folders.

Extra: About the "physical workplace"

Finally, a little about minimalism in the real world. Obviously, your affairs will not be in order if your workplace resembles a blockage on a balcony or in a pantry.

Separately, I want to say about the wires. Don't underestimate cable management on and under your desk, because that's where a clean workspace starts. If you have a dusty spider under your feet made of tangled wires and chargers stuck in an extension cord, then you will constantly be tempted to arrange a similar mess on the table.

In this regard, there is now such a trend as “smart tables”, which immediately contain everything you need to conveniently connect your devices - built-in sockets, wire hatches, wireless chargers right in the tabletop and cable channels.

The example in the photo above is a table by @hitechwood. I recommend checking out their Instagram. There are examples of a well-organized workplace and information about how this piece of furniture can make your workdays easier.

15 amazing things that neural networks have learned to do

June 8, 2019Reno5Technology

From driving a car to creating masterpieces.

A neural network is an artificial intelligence capable of self-learning. In some form, similar programs existed Neurocomputer technology: theory and practice back in the eighties, but this area received especially rapid development around 2015. The possibilities of neural networks began to be actively explored by leading universities like Massachusetts and Oxford, as well as large corporations, such as Google.

Now these technologies are available to anyone. And mankind has already come up with dozens of the most insane and strange applications for such programs. Here are a few of them.

1. Make faces of non-existent people

nvidia.com

The people you see in the picture above look realistic, but they don't exist. Their images were created by the Progressive growing of GANs for improved
quality, stability and variation neural network from NVIDIA. The program was trained on real photos of celebrities, and as a result, she learned to generate reliable images of faces. You can check for yourself how well she does.

2.

Read aloud

There are many technologies for speech synthesis using neural networks. For example, Google and Yandex have their own programs for this. Speech created in this way is smooth and realistic, and the applications for this method are many, from voice-over applications for the visually impaired to cost-effective audiobook creation.

3. Driving cars

Many companies see self-driving cars as the future of transportation. Audi, Uber, Google, Tesla, Yandex and many other corporations have their own developments in this area. Almost none of these technologies can do without neural networks. They help cars determine where lane markings, signs, other vehicles and pedestrians are on the road and make decisions based on that data.

4. Restore the color of photos and videos

Scientists from Waseda University in Tokyo developed Let there be color! a program that makes black and white photos and videos in color. The neural network has learned to identify common motifs in images (the sky is usually blue, trees are green, and so on) and paint objects in the appropriate colors.

5. Seeing dog faces everywhere

One of the first neural network technologies that became available to a wide audience was Inceptionism Inceptionism by Google in 2015. She processed the images, adding silhouettes of dog faces, pagodas and arches to them. Network users began to pass their photos, famous paintings, videos and films through the program - it turned out unusual and creepy.

6. Write music

Any kind of digital information can be loaded into neural networks, including music. Some researchers train their programs on the melodies of famous composers. Meaningful works have not yet been obtained from computers, but they copy the styles of musicians well.

7. Making politicians say anything

One of the most intimidating applications of neural networks is video synthesis, in particular with public figures. For example, scientists from the University of Washington have developed Synthesizing Obama: Learning Lip Sync from Audio, a program that generates Barack Obama's lips from audio and substitutes them into the video. It turns out to be very reliable.

8. Walk

A Google subsidiary called DeepMind did an experiment. Three different virtual figures - a humanoid, a stick with two legs, and a ball with four legs - had to learn to walk. They had no information about how this was done - only the task of getting from one point to another and sensors to help determine their position in space. After hundreds of hours of practice, all three figures learned to walk, run, jump and move around uneven surfaces.

9. Control robots

Technologies based on neural networks are also widely used in robotics. For example, the robot created by the Disney Research Institute can move forward using one, two, and three legs. And the delivery robot from Starship Technologies is able to navigate the streets avoiding obstacles and pedestrians.

10. Recognize fraud and corruption

One of the main functions of neural networks is pattern recognition, including correlations between events. This is very useful in the financial sector: you can predict illegal activity before it happens. So, in Spain, scientists have created Predicting Public Corruption with Neural Networks: An Analysis of Spanish Provinces is a program that helps detect corrupt practices in the provinces of the country. And some banks are developing Citi Ventures Deploys Machine Learning And Artificial Intelligence With People and using systems that detect credit card fraud.

11. Translate text on an image in real time

google.com

The function of real-time text translation appeared in Google Translate a long time ago, but few people know that it uses How Google Translate squeezes deep learning onto a phone neural networks. With their help, the program recognizes letters and other symbols in images, even if they are blurry, rotated around its axis, stylized or distorted. Then the application puts them into words and sentences, translates and projects them onto a picture. And all this in a fraction of a second.

12. Transfer art style from one image to another

prisma-ai.com

In 2016, several companies introduced technologies for processing images in different art styles. Apps like Prisma, DeepArt and Ostagram have emerged. Prisma lets you choose from hundreds of preset filters, while Ostagram and DeepArt let you upload a picture or photo to use as a style source.

14. Read lips

Scientists from Google and the University of Oxford created the LipNet technology LipNet, which uses neural networks to read lips. And she does it much more accurately than a person. On average, people with hearing impairments lipread with 52% accuracy, and LipNet with 88% accuracy.

15. Write texts
