Flickr Mac Goodness

flickr export pluginWell, since grabbing my D70, I've been playing around with different ways of sharing the pictures I've taken with my friends and family without burning through my personal site's monthly allotment of bandwidth on the high resolution shots. Laurie was kind enough to hook me up with a Flickr account a while back (Thanks, Laurie!) and I found it to be a nice solution, and since Scott's earlier post reminded me of the whole thing, I thought I'd point to a very useful iPhoto plug-in that makes posting to Flickr a snap.

Fraser Speirs' Flickr Export Plugin for iPhoto works with both iPhoto 4 and 5, is free, and allows you to nicely upload pictures directly from iPhoto to your Flickr pages. Check it out.

1001 is good, but one of the things that makes Flickr even better these days is that it has native support for IPTC tags. I find it's a great idea to just update the tags (iView MediaPro does this well, and so does Bridge in Photoshop CS2), that way you have the metainfo in your photos, not just stored on a Web site. It's a great option for strong prosumers and professional photographers. Once you have that information in, ANYTHING will work. These days I just use Flickr Uploadr, and all the tags, headlines, captions and such are automatically added.

Logan, yes, yes, and yes. It's a 20"x30" canvas, painted in water-based oils (best thing ever), and entirely with palette knives. No brushes involved.

I downloaded and installed it, created a flickr account, went pro, and now when I try to uploading using the export tool, it crashes at 8 to 14 photos. Grrrr!!!

You made that oil painting of Johnny Cash, yourself? Are you an artist?

If you like flickr you should check out smugmug.com, HUGE mac fans run it, (they were even featured on apple.com) THe 35 dollars a year is a small price to pay for what you can get from, I have rougly 4000 photos up on my site. www.chrishollomon.com, because they offer unlimited photo storage, they encourage hacking the site, and they have a nice 5 dollars off little incentive program. Smugmug has changed how I do digital phototgraphy drastically.
