Poking around the web I found a sight running Lightbox

It creates a cool overlay in the browser that opens the picture. Just click on the picture below to check it out.

One of the great features of Flickr is the ability to ‘geotag’ your photos. Then you can see on a map where the picture was taken.

I’ve geotagged several of my pictures and try to be as accurate about their location as possible.

You can see my Flickr map here.

I also just uploaded another set of pictures. Some of these I’m pretty happy with.

I’ve uploaded a few pictures from this trip. I went on a mini pub crawl with a friend yesterday and snapped some pictures along the way.

We started at The Bull on Upper Street in Islington then went to The Cove in Covent Garden. We hit a few in between but they were all packed with soccer fans and we were looking for something a bit more relaxed.

We got started late and he had to leave early, hence the “mini” crawl. After he left I walked around a bit and played with the new Gorillapod. This thing is friggin’ awesome. I used it to perch the camera on railings, hang it from lamp posts, and of course stand it on things. Its also very light. At 8.5 ounces you can throw it in your backpack or hang it from your camera bag strap.

Good stuff.

I’ve posted more pictures from the conference to flickr.

I’ve tagged them all “RSA2007″ to make them easily searchable (and I’m not the only flickr member doing this):

I’ve uploaded quite a few pictures, mainly from film shot through my Lomo. With the exception of one roll of black and white negatives, I’ve only used color slide film that I also have cross processed. When film is cross processed, its intentionally developed in the wrong chemicals. For example, to cross slide film, you process it in C-41, which is for negative film. This changes the color saturation in the pictures and it has different effects on different film types. Fujifilm Provia has a green/yello hue to it when crossed, but Fujifilm Velvia has a blue/red hue to it, depending on the light level.

When you look at my Lomo Flickr set you can see it readily because the first half of the pictures are mostly Provia and the second half are mostly Velvia so its very noticeable. (more…)
