Some more Fun with Flickr

If you haven't heard about flickr, let me tell you a little bit about it. Jeff Turner has shared some great tips with Flickr also. Not only is it a great place to find Royalty Free photos, but it's also a great place to store your photos. You can save up to 200 photos for free or pay $24.95 for a year of unlimited amount. Check out my collection of photos. For those of you with a slight blogging addiction, it is also a great tool to upload photos to your blog or even a portal to send a photo to your blog AND write the blog. Only two people that I know, Teresa Boardman and Kristal Kraft, have a photo blog. I wrote a quick one about the flickr blog feature a while ago. Here's my phone photo blog Start your own useless blog!!!

I found a website that does a lot of fun stuff with photos called Big Huge Labs. You know when you are looking for a quick gimmick to make a point or just feel silly. Here's some things I have done with this website. Click on the picture to take you to the page where you can create the item. This can help with your creative juices. Have fun with it...please share your creations.

Bob, great information, I use Flicker but not enough. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey. Where did you catch the Bass??

Have fun with it, Missy.

Lenn, I fish the Potomac quite a bit from dam 4 on down. We have a secret spot that no lie, we pulled out over 60 small mouth bass one morning last summer. We put all of them back of course. It's just great to get out and wet a line.

Cool Stuff Bob. I just bought a great book called How to Use Flickr and it talks about the whole history of the company. Pretty fascinating stuff. I had no idea it was a social network. I have a lot of photos on flickr but they are all private since I just dumped them there. I'm working on getting them organized now. It does so much more than I imagined. I'm going to check out Jeff Turner's stuff again. Thanks for ideas.

Linda, its a social network for all the photo geeks. I haven't dug deep into it yet either. I think it has great potential. Jeff says they will be doing video soon too. I would like to start doing videos also and keep everything in one place...all the different locations can be confusing.

And I visited your mobile blog....it appears that Benny has quite the personality. What fun he must be!!

He hates when I take his picture...he runs like I am stealing his soul.

Bob - Thanks so much for sharing Big Huge Photos site. Really fun. Can't wait to play!

Bob - your blog has become the present I give myself - such cool stuff - love the artistic flair since I was a professional faux finisher / muralist in the past - I want to learn how to make cool stuff like you....:-)

Thanks for inspiring and making me smile!

Thanks Bob...that's some pretty cool and innovative stuff...like the screen play.

No problem Marlene, This is more my speed. I like fun stuff.

Cyndee, What an awesome compliment...you rock!

Sally, did you notice production crew?

What is really shocking is how much time I have on my hands.

Thanks for this one - it was fun!

BTW you have been featured in the Photography group.

My pleasure!!! Back at you!!!!

Well looky there Miss Maureen...being all creative and stuff. Thanks for "starring" me.

Cyndee. :)

Bob - You may have created a monster. Check out my new blog / prank. Don't rat me out!!!

Bob, thanks for the tip! Especially about Big Huge Labs!

I am having a great time with Yotophoto. I will look into flickr-I believe on Yotophoto some of the pictures are from flickr also. This is one picture I found on Yotophoto that I thought was hilarious!

I thought that was the highlight of the whole thing! You mean there was something other that I should have noticed :)

Boy am I dense or what??? LOL I just relooked at your post and saw the Pittsburgh Poster. Even Punky Broadhead makes an appearance. An inside joke and I almost missed it. DUH!!!! How about those Pittsburgh Stillers, huh???

Linda, Cautiously Optimistic about the Black 'n Gold.

Sally, just making sure it's hard to read make this small...

Penny, You said a mouthful.

David, Glad you enjoyed it.

Maureen, Oh nooooo....You are bad.

LOL I missed Jonny Cakes Auster, lol. Check out Bob Carney and his featured post!

I love Bob Carney, there I said it.

Thanks for the info---I have not used Flickr but it sure does look interesting.

LOL @ Chris. Who carried that Pin down the hill?

Diane, It's great for some senseless fun or for serious stuff, take your pick...have fun with it.

Wow, cool stuff Bob. I'm not nearly as technologically savvy as I'd like to be. I'll bookmark this just in case, for fun & work.

Bob,

I have been using Flickr photos on my posts...I used to use Yahoo..but they are not allowing as much. I do see you on my blog log..so I guess you stop by my blogs. Thanks for the info on this.

Thanks for stopping by Neal....Yes, I am ghost lurker... i do that a lot... I usually catch your localism stuff. Next time I will leave more than just an image...a comment! :)

Jason, Sardiman would look good in the movie with Moo Moo Man. You can create your own movie poster. (these sites don't require a lot of savvy as you think)

I need me some eggs Dippy Style.

Ah Dippy Eggs...sopped up with some burnt toast.

Interesting post and interesting resource. Thanks for sharing.

Any time Bob & Carolin or just Bob or just Carolin or maybe Carolin & Bob or maybe Bob & Carolin's cat... :)

Bob,

Al Gorithm here,

I love what you did with the photograph of the ‘burgh... but anybody that lived there for any length of time can see how unrealistic & photoshopped the photograph was for this film ad.

1) For the first thing, the ‘burgh never gets any sunshine only rain therefore the rainbow would not be present.

2) There is not enough debris (logs, B-25s & cars) floating in the Mon. River & the color is not the right color... it is not brown enough.

3) Where is all the traffic on the bridges?

4) No one enjoys an IC! And if in fact that any person were standing up while drinking an IC, they would have to quickly sit down on the nearest toilet after receiving a nasty migraine & a recurrent, throbbing back side!

[header_qol.jpg]

IC drinker on toilet with explosive hershey squirts.

5) That is not remotely close to a real "point state park celebration" photo, because... Fact: they would be serving IC beer, hence not sufficient or adequate amount of port-a-toilets in photo. (Reference Detail #4 & photograph above)

It seems that the small details like these that were altered would make your movie unrealistic to the people that love the place for all its character(s).

If you need a filming consultant for the ‘burgh production, I will try to help, but remember "It is a ‘Burgh Thing". :^)

Keeping it real,

LOL

Al has obviously not been to Pittsburgh in awhile. Since the still mills are gone from dahn tahn, the water has cleared up a bit. I can agree with the rest however.

P.S. I still have a dippy egg every Saturday morning.

LMAO @ Al...So true... Squirts and Migraines...because they use water from the Mon.

Please fix your picture... I am sure it is well worth it.

Bob - Came back to say congrats on the feature! :-)

Thanks Cyndee...quite a surprise to me... But grateful for being noticed. My Rich Jacobson Voodoo Doll must be working.

THank you Moderators!

THIS IS SO COOL! Thanks for sharing it.

Wow, Bob.........this is sooooo cool. Maureen's blog post touted your's, and here I am. I plan to have some fun. Thanks for the ideas..........I've rated it a 5 and bookmarked!!

Hi Bob,

Thanks for this. I just went and checked flickr out. I had never tried it before. I really like the mosaic you did. It doesn't get more professional than that! I am off to big huge labs now!

Maureen's great...You went wild with GlitterMaker Teri... I am looking forward to see what you do with this site!! :)

Patrick that mosiac rocks. You can do multiple sizes and layouts. I can see some of my brochures with this feature

Bob, I missed this the first time. Bookmarked to go back and play later! :o)

Hey Bob - I just did what Sarah did-BOOKMARKED!! I've often wondered how you did that psychedelic montage of yourself that I've seen you use at times. I'll have to go play and see about using flickr for more than I currently use it for.

Thanks for this tip!!
