November ’07 Review
As we roll towards Christmas and New Year, I am continually impressed by the standard of photography I can see for free on the internet every day. I don’t have to go to a gallery, or buy an expensive book. It’s all there at the click of a button.
Here’s a small selection of what has impressed me most in November.
How to Build the Ultimate Photo Sharing Website: I’ve been having a play with new photo sharing site Tagmee, over the last week, when one of the developers asked me what I thought a photo sharing site needed to appeal to photographers. The short reply I started writing turned into this epic.
Flickr Places Launches: Having spent all of ten minutes on the new Flickr Places feature, I have to say I’m extremely impressed. This feature might just push me to give Flickr another go. Places will help me keep in touch with local photographers in a way that no other site can do at the moment.
Flickr Reaches Two Billionth Photo: Flickr yesterday passed their two billionth uploaded image. An important milestone, I’m sure you’ agree. The two billionth photo, taken and uploaded by Yukiko Kawabata from Brisbane, Australia was of a gum tree in Sydney.
Photography Link Heaven: Brian over at Epic Edits has posted a superb list of his 87 top photography blogs and feeds. All are those he regularly follows. This is a great resource, and definitely worth a look for readers with an interest in photography.
