Sure, Flickr is an amazing site full of great images and user submitted content but we wanted to see what else was out there.
1X.com features amazing images submitted by talented photographers from all over the world. It’s a great site that will inspire and entertian you for hours. The collection although user-submited is screened and curated which ensures that all the images have a certain wow factor. Here’s how they describe themselves:
1x is a photo community with a difference. Take the work of the most talented photobloggers, various famous photographers, and many serious amateurs, select their best work and collect it all in one place – that is 1x. Everyone is welcome to contribute, but every photo is screened, which means it has to be approved by an editor (screener) before being published. 1x is a photo gallery with a constantly evolving exhibition. We publish dozens of new images every day.
A great place to get cool photo canvas ideas for your next CanvasPop project.
Visit www.1x.com and get inspired!

Falling Up by Nikki Jane.
Today, I have decided to feature a “Thursday Find”. This photo was taken by Nikki Jane and it’s in the original form, no Photoshop was used. This is hard to believe with all the photo editing software on the market. She captured a great shot!
According to Nickki’s Flickr Photostream it was a super nice day out when she first started and then the wind and rain/ hail moved in before the sun appeared again.
Congrats again on spectacular image.
What is silhouette photography? You do not have to be a professional photographer to capture great shots. Simply keep these three things in mind when setting up your shot:
1) A Strong Subject- Choose something with recognizable and distinct shapes.
2) Lighting- Light subjects from behind, placing them in front of the sunrises or sunset.
3) Shape- Create separate shapes so they are distinct and uncluttered.
Check out this great guide on how to photograph silhouettes by Digital Photography School.
This photograph by Todd Austin follows the three guidelines with stunning results.

The key with silhouette photography is to have fun and experiment. There is no such thing as a bad photograph! So get out, explore, have fun and shoot some amazing silhouettes. When you’re done share it with us or upload it and turn your photo into a canvas art print with CanvasPop.

Is this a miniature model of New York City? Nope. It's a regular photo transformed using Photoshop and a simple effect called 'Tilt-shift'.
The effect is called ‘Tilt-shift’ we think it would make an awesome effect to use for your canvas to photo prints. It’s surprisingly simple and really fun to do. All you need is Photoshop, and a picture that is shot from above (like from an office window looking down to street level works well). Usually it helps to have cars and people in the shot too. If you like the end result send it in to us to have it made into a cool photo to canvas print. Another idea might be to create a series of images from various places you’ve been and hang them side by side.
Just follow these easy steps:
1. Find an image you like with an elevated view point and a reasonable wide wide angle of view
2. Follow this great little step-by-step tutorial here (credit tiltshiftphotography.net)
3. When you’re done, upload and print your picture on canvas
We’d love to see what you can do with this. Be sure to send us pictures that you have worked with and show off you work. We might feature you on a future blog post. Have any ideas you want to share with us? Let us know by adding your comments below.
