Photography Heaven
For those who didn’t know yet, I’m on Flickr - and I just reorganized my entire photo collection.
Back in the day when I signed up with Flickr, my idea was to store all my photo’s there and be done with it. Now, I realize that I only want to upload the good stuff, and keep the rest for myself.
Please, hop by at http://flickr.com/photos/ariejan. Feel free to add me to your contacts or to leave a comment.
For those interested, I’m currently shooting with a Canon EOS 400D Digital in combination with the EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 II kit lens, an old and battered EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 and very new and shiny EF 50mm 1:1.8 II Prime lens.
I am looking to buy an EF 17-40mm L or EF 16-35mm L lens, so if you have one that’s just sitting there, please let me know.
That’s all. Hope to see from you on Flicrk!
Flickr Adds Stats To Photo Pro Accounts
Flickr has provided an attractive place to show off your photos and get constructive feedback from the community. However, their advanced comment and tagging system leaves out the vast number of people that simply peruse the site. But today Flickr unlocked those stats for Pro users.
Earlier this year Flickr whetted our appetite for stats when they released numbers on what kinds of cameras are used on the site. The stats are like Google Analytics for your photos. They track page views and visitors across each of your photos and go all the way back to the start of your pro account (or at least 28 days back if you upgrade from a free account).
The numbers are updated daily and don’t count views you make yourself or that are from embedded versions of your images around the web. Referrals are only listed for the past couple of weeks. For search engine referrals, stats will show what people searched for to find your pictures.
The Glorious Canon EOS 400D Digital
Well, I finally made the big leap into (semi-)professional photography. I bought a Canon EOS 400D Digital SLR Camera. (That’s the XTi Rebel for you American folk) This nifty machine allows me to take very beautiful pictures, and I already had a little practice yesterday. more »
