Have you seen the Technique group at Flickr? It’s full of simple tutorials and ideas for doing slightly different things with your photos, ranging from the complicated to the easy. The tip on using the timer on your camera to avoid shaky hands in low light was such fun that I took about twenty photos today, never quite capturing the moon I was aiming at but enjoying myself hugely. My new ambition is to fill my calendar. I’m going to post at least one photo every single day. You might not see all of them, because some will be private, but I’ll have a visual diary and a daily practice.

I’m thrilled to announce another publication from our European Research Council (ERC)-funded research project on Machine Vision: Gabriele de Setaand Anya Shchetvina‘s paper analysing how Chinese AI companies visually present machine vision technologies. They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]
Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]

The technique link above links to the Cutouts group, and not the Techniques group 🙂
And weee – what a great tip! Thanks a lot for passing it on, I already love it after trying it out with a few images. It works very, very well!
