Jim Goldstein on Flickr Tools
Jim Goldstein writes about some useful Flickr extensions and tools:
So you use Flickr… what else is out there that is going to enable you to get the most out of it?
Thanks to Flickr’s API a lot of people have come up with some very interesting tools. As I’ve learned there are a lot of things to discover from GreaseMonkey scripts to external sites that enhance the Flickr experience. Below (in no particular order) are my favorite external sites that enable me to more quickly review the photos of others and monitor my photos…

I’ve been posting some photographs at Flickr for the past couple of months. In fact, for awhile I was hosting the photos for this site on Flickr – in other words, the images that you saw displayed here were coming from the Flickr site. (Some still are, but more recent images are hosted on the same server than handles this blog.)

A Note About ‘Mounts Dana and Gibb, Dawn’
The photo I posted earlier today is of a spot that has perplexed me for a long time. I don’t know the name of this little lake – though it must one, considering its location. It is located in Yosemite National Park a short distance before Tioga Pass. It is right by the Tioga Pass Road, so it seems that someone is often there photographing it.
It is a picturesque little spot, but I’ve found it very difficult to photograph. Midday light is always difficult, and while the peaks pick up some wonderful light later in the day the foreground goes quite dark – and there is a lot of foreground.
However, I do like this version that I photographed in early July this year. I think that the key was the early morning hour, as opposed to my other attempts much later in the day. Not too long after dawn the light comes across the shoulder of Mt. Gibb, the peak to the right. The early season greenery around the edges of the pond help, as did the use of a wide angle perspective.
