Glitter, Glitter

I searched for ‘glitter’ in Flickr. I greatly enjoy glitter. A lot of people hate it, but I like sparkly things. This…looks nothing like it.

Tweet Assignment (Visual) 13: Take a concept, one word, and plug it into Flickr and take the first 50 images and average them using Photoshop or similar program. I was inspired by a graceful, though fuzzy image of a jellyfish grabbed from a friend’s underwater footage. In my mind’s eye, I could see the jellyfish replicated so that it appeared to leave an effervescent trail as it floated toward the viewer. That didn’t happen. Everything went swimmingly until I discovered the environmental map and imagined how cool it would be to have a source of light in the image — ...
The Average of Lily

Visual Assignment 13— Averaging Concepts using Flickr (3 stars). This is a really cool way to make an abstract piece of art. The instructions for this assignment called for using the first 50 images produced on a Flickr search to create an “average” image. The end product reminds me of an abstract watercolor painting! I chose to make the subject of this project: Lilies. I love lilies! They are my favorite flower. In addition to growing them in my gardens, I have pictures of them hanging in my home and tattooed on my body. Not only are they beautiful and ...

Hey guys Here’s my 2nd ds106 post for this section? This time around, I decided to do a Visual Assignment called Averaging Concepts using Flickr. The assignment was to: Take a concept, one word, and plug it into Flickr and take the first 50 images and average them using Photoshop or similar program. Step by step instructions available at http://is.gd/ku3UF The Process: I went ahead to flickr to go chose my 50 images. When I had to chose my concept, I wanted something colorful so that the image wont just be a blob of gray or black image. Therefore, I went ...
Remembering Places by Color
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
All of my favorite places have a distinct color palette tied to them in my memory. I remember Lisbon by the sunny yellow of its tram cars and the blue and white of its famous azulejo tiles, while I picture the island of Santorini being simply white buildings against a background of oceanic blue. I often wonder if I’ve just arbitrarily picked these colors based on the photos I took in these places, or if a place is truly dominant in the colors I associate it with. So to test this theory, I created an average of the photos I took in two of ...

The Assignment For my second ds106 assignment for this section, I decided to do a Visual Assignments that seemed cool to do. It’s called Averaging Concepts Using Flickr by Tim Owens. The instructions read: Take a concept, one word, and plug it into Flickr and take the first 50 images and average them using Photoshop or similar program. Step by step instructions available at http://is.gd/ku3UF I’m going to do this assignment in a tutorial form with screen-shots of how I made an averaged photo of the concept “clouds” on flickr’s Creative Commons photos. The Process First, I went to flickr. ...

Rainbow Collage
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For my last Visual Assignment, I decided to pull out the stops. I anchored down and did some serious bulkr downloading and Picasa creating. If you read my previous posts on averaging collages, you’ll notice I found a rather boring element of uniform “fogginess” in the finished products, with the exception of one collage I saw which was made from the first 50 results of the search for “Blue” on flickr. This got me thinking. I decided to make an averaged picture for each of the seven generally-accepted colors in the rainbow. This set begins with my results for Red, ...
Minecraft Average
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Minecraft, a photo by theunwiseman on Flickr. Via Flickr: I took the average of over 50 Minecraft screenshots. This is what Picasa gave me. I particularly like how well the HUD stands out. This almost makes it look like you’re playing the game in some eerie fog. Again, I thought I would enjoy this more, but the only thing I like about the averaging in this image is the way the HUD stands out. Still looking for a good average. I have an idea brewing, but it will take some time…
