Unfortunately, I don't know how to use Flickr, and don't have the time to investigate it yet, so I'll have to store large files on my own server and have Blogger resample the ones I send to it.
I went through all the photos last night (365 of them, not even close to Blork) and picked out three I'm going to make 20x30" prints of, have them dry-mounted at Atelier 68 on St. Laurent for about $53 each and put 'em up on my wall. They're all landscapes, and I decided to make a triptych out of them (larger size version is on my server.)
In this photo, they're much closer together than they're going to be on the wall, but I was struck by looking at them after I'd chosen them that all the lines seem to line up — ie. the distant mountains proceed in the same line as do the nearer mountains and even the foreground shapes, vaguely. And I hadn't purposely done a panorama shot — these were from completely different vantage points.
If I ever get a life, I'll learn how to use Flickr and put up some more.
Very nice triptych!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a life to figure out Flickr. You don't even need a brain. It's one of the few things out there that really is as easy as people claim it to be.
You click the "Upload Photos" link to go to the upload page. You click "Browse" and navigate to the photo on your hard drive. You can select up to six at a time. Then click "Upload."
All the rest happens automatically. Adding a title and caption are easy and self-explanitory. Try it out!
Thanks, Blork, I took your advice and did the deed. But can't anyone just download your photo and do whatever they want with it? Though I guess if it's 72 d.p.i. the answer is "not much" . . .
ReplyDeleteYeah. But consider that services like Flickr are all about "sharing." (It's sooo, "web 2.0".)
ReplyDeleteBesides, what are the going to do? Use it as a wallpaper on their computer? Make a print and put it on their wall? Who cares? You should be flattered! It's like sharing a recipe!
I doubt many people steal images from Flickr and then sell them. Keep in mind you can also make a reduced-size copy and upload that. That's what I do, but primarily for bandwidth purposes. You'll rarely find a Flickr image of mine that is more than 1000 pixels on its largest size.
All true! I am sooo 1.0 sometimes . . .
