Facebook just announced that they now made available the new Facebook Timeline feature to everyone worldwide.
One of the features of the timeline is the large image, called cover, that is located at the top of the users profile page.
You can now get interesting Facebook covers from my personal photo collection on this website.
A large part of the images I offer for free on this site are now made available in the perfect size for becoming your Facebook cover image.
Enjoy!
Lytro – A new way of taking pictures
This week a brand new camera concept was announced, which promises to revolutionize the way pictures are taken since the introduction of photography in 1800′s. We all had missed shots due to poor focus, Lytro concept will make sure this will not happen, allowing photographers to change the focus points and even have full scene in focus any time after the picture is taken. Looking at the example below I have to say I am looking forward to see their product on the market.
Water drops photos
This weekend I have been playing with water, trying to get some good water drop photos for the collection. My setup was composed of a large tray with water, a wirelesses triggered flash on a tripod, the Nikon D90 camera and most importantly a plastic bag with water and a hole that was suspended above the tray to generate water drops in the same area of the tray (so I could focus once and then take multiple shots).
You can see below a few of the results, I will add them to the collection very soon:

1 year ago the domain 4freephotos.com has been purchased and the website was seeing it’s first visits on the internet. So let’s wish 4 Free Photos Happy Birthday.
The website was started with around 600 images from my personal collection that have been made during some of my trips in Europe.
Here are some statistics of the website after it’s first year:
- Free aviation images under public domain
Besides photography I am also a big fan of aviation world. I have quite a few images with aircrafts so I selected a few to release under public domain.
Free images for education
As some of our visitor are using the images in educational purposes I have assembled a list of links and some collections for quick access to images related to education or that can be used in school projects.
This is both aimed to students and teachers.
List will be updated as more areas are added.
Here it follows.
