This is definitely a new comer in the crowed photo sharing site circle but it offers something nobody else seems to have: Photo that talks!
The new site (currently in beta) lets you upload a photo and then record your voice directly through your computer to create a Fotobabble. You can then share it by e-mail, Facebook, Twitter or embed it into a blog or website. There is nothing to download or install. Just a quick registration for a free account. Read More…
Part of the reason for Flickr’s enormous popularity is their open API that supports a large number of so-called Apps, which are third party software that make your flickr experience more fun and useful.
In the past, there was no centralized location for Flickr Apps. Users had to look for them on the web. Developers had to promote their apps using their own websites. It all changed yesterday. Flickr has made a home for these third-party apps called App Garden.
The App Garden does not automatically list all the apps created using Flickr API. Developers have to submit them. There aren’t many apps there yet one day after its launch but we can be certain it will change soon. You may want to check out the five cool apps picked by ReadWriteWeb.
Nikon conducted research by polling people and found out that consumers love to share photos (Is that really a surprise?). In the digital age, the smallest scale of sharing is perhaps crowding around the camera’s LCD screen. The 2nd scale is sharing photos on a TV screen or on any appropriate surface using the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj
Due to the nature of online sharing, it potentially has more impact. They are really nothing more than common senses, but the five rules for sharing photos online (Photo Netiquette) published by Nikon are good reminders.

Picasa is a free photo management and editing software from Google. It is well integrated with Google’s own Picasa Web Albums photo sharing site but it doesn’t have restrictions that prevent it from being used for uploading photos to other photo sharing sites. For example, we have talked about uploading photos to Flickr using Picasa.
The same can be done for Facebook as well. Here is a uploader plugin for Picasa that allows you to upload photos from Picasa to your Facebook account. Installation is a simple 1-2-3 and the usage is also straight forward. The Facebook uploader works under Windows and Mac but the Linux version of Picasa is not supported.
Do you have an idea how popular the iPhone is now? If not, check out the Camera Finder page on Flickr. Currently the iPhone is in the same pack as the Canon Digital Rebel XTi
One particular iPhone (works on iPod Touch too!) application I’d like to introduce today is PhotoScatter, developed by Unique Apps. PhotoScatter allows users to simply take or choose a photo from iPhone or iPod Touch, and submit it to top photo sharing sites on the Internet with touch of a button. Read More…
This amazing video is created by a Sydney based photographer Keith Loutit. Check out his other work on Vimeo.
Wow, I didn’t expect to see this. Check out the official White House photostream on flickr! These photos are free to use subject to certain restrictions.
The photos were taken by Official White House photographer Pete Souza. Occasionally, photo (for example, this one) has EXIF information left untouched. Apparently Pete is a Canon guy, shooting with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Nikon should really send Pete a free D3X.
In the photo above: President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama wear 3-D glasses while watching Super Bowl 43, Arizona Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, at a Super Bowl Party in the family theater of the White House.
This is a great movie shot using Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The videographer used two cameras and an array of Canon L lenses: 14mm f2.8L, 50mm f1.2L, 100mm macro f2.8, 135mm f2.0L, and 200mm f2.8L. I cannot seem to be able to embed the HD version, so please click on the video or this link to view the HD version for the best viewing experience.
