9gag

9gag is a simple microblog that features humorous, beautiful, or non-sensical images. Can we talk about how I hate starting sentences with numerical digits? It's an affront to grammar. But I didn't want to break tradition here.

Anyway, on 9gag you can navigate the blog with the keyboard letters k and j, as well as loving things with a quick L keystroke. Lots of hits and misses. Enjoy!

National Geographic Photo Tips

National Geographic's Photo Tips is a section of the NatGeo website dedicated to helping photographers hone their craft. The site is broken down into sections- areas of photography like Portrait, Action and Adventure, and Landscape.

As an amateur photographer of sorts myself, I enjoyed perusing the pages of tips, the quick tips, and the videos.

And while you're on the site and enjoying the photography, be sure to check out some amazing collections of photos on the site like:

Ultimate National Parks

50 Years of Covers

Life in Color Series

Unhappy Hipsters

Unhappy Hipsters is a website devoted to picturesque shots of purported lonely hipsters. The photos seem to be ripped out of various architectural digests, but the captions is what makes them brilliant. You can send tips in to unhappyhipsters@gmail.com.

Enjoy!
