Landscape, Nature and Travel Photography

I’ve recently put together a collection of iPhone photos in my gallery. Photos included are from MacWorld 2007 in San Francisco and some recent studio photography work of product shots. Read more… »

So you use Flickr… what else is out there that is going to enable you to get the most out of it?

Thanks to Flickr’s API a lot of people have come up with some very interesting tools. As I’ve learned there are a lot of things to discover from GreaseMonkey scripts to external sites that enhance the Flickr experience. Below (in no particular order) are my favorite external sites that enable me to more quickly review the photos of others and monitor my photos.

Scout
A quick and easy tool to find out which of your photos are in Explore, but if you look closer on the site there is a larger set of Flickr Toys.

Darckr
A quick and easy way to see the current 20 highlighted images in Explore.

Note: You can authenticate by clicking on “Mine” at the top for an alternate view of your images.

Flickrleech
See in a very quick fashion via small thumbnails the top 500 most interesting photos for any day.

Flickr Grab
Flickrleech + Scout = Flickr Grab
The result is a quick way to see the top 500 most interesting for the day, your favs, the order of your photos based on interestingness and interestingnessly weekly.

Interesting Photo Builder (my photos as an example)
A neat tool to present x number of your photos in a one page display on black. Unlike the one page “On Black” toy from BigHugeLabs this application lets you present multiple images on one page.

A bonus tool for Flickr and iPhone users that I’ve recently discovered…

GetLeafLets
One of the many lightweight web applications provided is a Flickr viewer. It’s the best Flickr viewer I’ve found to date for the iPhone.

Know of another Flickr tool I’ve left out that I should have listed? Let me know what it is.

Admittedly this is off my normal topic of discussion, but I had to post a few links about the iPhone from this past week. I wouldn’t post them if I didn’t think they were entertaining or note worthy so definitely check them out.

The absolute must see of all these links…

It’s official 6 days ago I entered the world of the iPhone. Since that time, being the photography obsessed individual that I am, I’ve been interested in learning more about the capabilities of the iPhone’s camera. The camera on the iPhone continues to be the step child of the iPhone hype hardly getting any technical mention on Apple’s iPhone Technical Specifications page and it was hardly mentioned nor demonstrated by Steve Jobs during his keynote speech at MacWorld 2007. To sum up all that we know about the iPhone camera: “2.0 megapixels”.

This week I gave the iPhone camera a run for its money (no jokes from the peanut gallery) and here’s the low down…
