flickr anyone?
 

I'm totally adddicted to flickr stats and I'm totally perplexed by the interestingness calculation flickr uses.

Apparently these are my most interesting photos on flickr.

I'm thinking of creating a skyscraperpage group on flickr because I haven't found one specific to us yet. I'd make the group public by invitation and you could PM me here with your flickr moniker so I could send an invitation out.

Is anyone interested in a skyscraperpage flickr group? Is there already one that I haven't found? It might be a nice way to keep in touch on what we do photographically that may or may not be skyscraperpage related.

I don't really like the whole interestingness thing, as anyone with too much time on their hands can add their photos to these "post 1 award 5" groups, and get loads of views, comments and favs.

I really love Flickr though - such a great community. And I have been able to make quite a decent bit of money through it as well. :tup:

There is a SkyscraperCity group, and it's fairly dead...


By the way, great shots HiMS!

Thanks for looking - and c'ya on flickr...

I have one (there is a link in my signature). I've met a few people from there. I don't have a camera at the moment but I'd like to see a SSP group. I find the photo threads here cause my computer to slow down significantly. :(

I created a flickr group called skyscraperpage. I've sent an invite to a few people so far that I know the names of.

my flickr here
I'm working on getting more city photo's in there.

Beautiful work, guys.

I don't know too much, beyond the basics, about Flickr or other sites like it. I've always wondered if it would be any marketing/sales help to someone like me that already has a separate photography website.

I know there are some other photographers here with traditional sites. Does anyone operate a successful website, but still see a benefit from Flickr?

I use it as well....my flickr account is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/verlagephoto

I was actually looking for a SSP group the other day. I wouldn't mind being invited.

http://flickr.com/people/coreytempleton/

yep.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/blix613/

Hmmm....when I add people as contacts, I don't get them in the list of people I can invite to the group. People who have added me as a contact who I had not also added as a contact do show up in that list.

It seems that people need to add me (doubleaphotoalbum) as a contact and then I'll get around to getting the invites out. Just put something in the contact message saying something about skyscraperpage. Or you can ask to join the group like harls did.

It seems lame that I can't just send invites based on entering a name. Stupid social networking sites. :)

No flickr for me. I use my main website, www.aroundphoenix.com, which drives about a third of my business. The rest comes from friends and family, current and former clients.

Since I'm really not that good of a photographer (Let's just say that between me never winning a photo contest on here and Shutterfly rejecting my submission because my images are "too noisy" - even though I use one of the lowest noise cameras on the planet), I really just grind it out and make money. Technical accomplishments and internet awards don't pay the bills.

But they're still pretty pictures and we want you to share. :(

This is called a Tilansia. It's part of the Bromeliad family. My dad used to raise these. They're of course extremely tropical, only surviving in temperatures above 40F. There are 2,400 different species of Bromeliads. Pineapples are actually a kind of Bromeliad. Bremoliads mostly grow in the rain forests of South America.

Here's the wikipedia page on them. Also if you Google 'tilansia' I'm sure they'll have something on them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromeliad

If you've ever watched the movie 'Medicine Man' with Sean Connery, the movie centers around finding a cure for cancer from a chemical that is extracted from the plant.

Don't take that too seriously, Don. No disrespect to the contest winners intended, but they are partly judged on meeting a subject, not just on pure photography basics, and the judges aren't professional photographers anyway.

Thanks. I knew it was a bromeliad, just not the type. We've got tons of them down here, but this variety is not common. Looking into it further it looks like a "Tillandsia paucifolia" or Potbelly Airplant. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Great pics as always, Olga.

I've been on flickr for a couple of years. I post a lot of my artwork on it, so that's what's most likely going to come up on my 20 most interesting--that and a couple of random fake tilt-shift pics from my semester in Europe...

Don't really use Flickr that much, but I might end up upgrading to "pro" account. Right now I use Pbase. My 10 most interesting according to Flickr, which apparently shows there are a lot of people from Alabama on Flickr, and I guess a lot of people enjoy staying at the Taito Ryokan?
