"Post Recommendations for FlickrBlog here!!" is dead, long live " Share cool photos/video/groups/stories for FlickrBlog here!" The old thread had become somewhat tired with all the self pimping. And long.

Here's a new topic for sharing beautiful, cool, interesting, thoughtful, weird, crazy, unique, etc., photos, video, groups*, and stories that you may stumble across in your travels throughout the flickrverse. But we don't have to limit ourselves to the flickrverse. If there's a cool new Flickr API thingy, or a photography how-to or an interesting mention of Flickr elsewhere, bring it!

Ground rules:

-- If you pimp your own stuff, the post(s) will be removed from the topic (and I will boo you while I do it -- I can't speak for the other admins).

-- If it becomes clear that you're trying to game the system by having friends pimp your stuff, then the post(s) will be removed (and booed).

-- If you elect to illustrate your find with an image, please use the "thumbnail" or "small" version on an image. If you post something larger, I may remove the image and replace it with a link.

But where's the glory? If the FlickrBloggers pick up on your suggestion, you'll be credited for the find in the FlickrBlog post with a link back to your photostream.

We look forward to your suggestions.

Heather [I work for Flickr]

* Not to be confused with New Group announcements. That should happen over here. Oh, and suggested groups will be added to "Groups we've noticed" as well.

The trouble with the Flickr Blog is that it tends not to want to offend anyone.

But some of the most interesting work on Flickr is deeply offensive.

I'm willing to bet, for example, that Flickr is the only place in the known universe that you can find a collection of utterly brilliant photos of dead squirrels:

I'm just alittle confused how one can add a idea for the blog w/o having a agenda. The last thread was closed due to self pimping according to heather, yet all the ideas there and here are just someones ideas of what they want to see in the blog which is really just why the last thread was closed in at least as We all want to see Our ideas put there weather it is for a cause or a group. 365 is just that imho as in as much as it is for a idea. On that note I would really love to see bikes get a day. Yeah in the days of mad gas prices it would be refreshing to see some photos of how the 2 wheel human powered folks show the world you can commute and due other things like even cut your grass on human power. I do. Peddle power rocks.

A buoy is a floating device, which can take on many forms, whether anchored or free drifting. These devices go by many names: Buoy, Bouy, Bouey, Bhoy, Bhouy, Float, Bouee, Flotteur, Boei, Boj, Boja, Boya, Boje, Bojen, Boia, Boa, Poi, Poiju, Bauja, Dufl, Pelampung, Plude, Flyteboye, Plovec & Samandira.

In the group Buoyant, www.flickr.com/groups/342193@N23/, we collect images of buoys and the waterscapes they exist in. A single buoy floating alone on a vast body of water is a metaphor for our isolation; and shows loneliness.

long-time Pittsburgh Flickr folk, elston, or Chuck, has been shooting a Jumpology set for some time now...he was inspired by Philippe Halsman to do so.

Jumpology - a set on Flickr

I think a feature on his ongoing set of Jumpology images is worthy of the Flickr Blog. He's even had the Mayor of Pittsburgh jump for him and his lens as well as so many others.

There even seems to be quite a few other Flickr folk who have picked up on Jumpology as subject matter for their cameras.

striatic is a group administrator striatic  Pro User  says:

that balloon set is absolutely incredible .. flickr from space!

here's bit more detail about it that i've copied from the pentax forums ..

"Thanks for the comments. I chose the k10d for the photographic payload system on an experiment by Oklahoma State University to measure cosmic radiation with a new sensor.

The payloads are attached to a sounding balloon which climbs to over 100,000 ft. The balloon is tracked with GPS telemetry systems. When the balloon is launched, it is about 12 ft. in diameter. At peak altitude it is between 40-50 ft. in diameter before burst (or commanded cut-down).

The results are a testament to the quality and ruggedness of the Pentax gear. The camera was exposed to the harshness of the space environment (essentially a vacuum, and below -60F temperatures) and it never missed a beat. The only protection for the camera was a foam box which really doesn't protect it from the pressure changes or cold (there were no heaters on board) The box primarily protects the camera on impact since the payloads hit the ground at about 22mph.

As I mentioned, the camera took well over 300 pictures. In fact, I went back and counted and the actual number is 563. All in PEF RAW format. The only ones that are unuseable are the ones after the camera landed. Since the camera and lens were so cold from the extreme altitude, condensation started forming on the lens shortly before landing. (It was a very humid day here since it rained the day before) The camera and lens were soaked with condensation, but kept happily fireing away with no problems other than you couldnt see through the water on the lens. By that point, there was nothing left to see.

Now as to exposure; the camera performed better than my wildest dreams. We put it in Tv mode at 1/3000 to freeze motion (since the ride is quite violent at times). Auto ISO, and multi-segment metering. Out of those hundreds of photos, there are maybe 5 or 6 that were overexposed when the camera was facing the sun. The biggest "problem" is that we have too many good photos!"

Kristal  Pro User  says:

Trapac has some awesome shots posted. Double exposure [LOVE] with Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim [LOVE] using Redscaled Konica Minolta VX Super 200.

"Redscaling.
Basically it involves taking a roll of ordinary 'bog standard' print film, reversing it and respooling it into another film cannister (all done in a dark bag) so that the light is exposed on 'the wrong side of the film' when you take a shot. You then lose two 'stops' on the optimal exposure conditions from the original. It gets developed in exactly the same way as print film, but be prepared for the technician to be a little startled (at best) or a little irritated (at worst) when they realise that something very odd has happened to the film. :) "

A few months ago I stumbled across the "Curious Expeditions" website and later I was delighted to find they were also on Flickr.

Curious Expeditions consists of a couple who travel around all over the place, but mostly central and eastern Europe, visiting weird little private museums, incredible old libraries, and anywhere where curiosities are on display. They photograph what they see and write about it. They just do this for the love of it, not for profit, and their website and photographs are a wonderland of strangenesses, eccentricities, history, and visual interest.

back to manyeemiu, her work gives a almost sterile insight to hong kong, you can almost forget its a teeming metropolis as she shows the minutia of honk kong life in all its exquisite detail.

check out those words i should write a book or something although i did have to ring kagey_b to spell metropolis, exquisite and minutia.

I agree with Pacdog on the beans. It's supercool (if you skip the first 3 days...they are way boring).

It's Deepavali / Diwali on Monday, 27th October:

Today it is celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across the globe as the "Festival of Lights," where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being .

Yes, lights:







I love the colours surrounding the festival:





and not forgetting the food:



Can't wait to be out and about tomorrow! :)

ETA although I've picked mostly photos from Malaysia to illustrate, Diwali is of course celebrated in India primarily, as well as around the world.

here's my contribution to the diwali season in times of recession!


In God we trust

In God we trust!

During these times of falling markets, crashing economy and so called recession, I spotted this phrase on a quarter dollar - "In God we trust".

Yeah right!

Wish all my Indian friends a very happy bright, sparkling, pollution free Diwali and hope Goddess Laxmi showers you with the currency you desire :).

UPDATE - Ok, I just read above that you arent supposed to "pimp" your stuff. However, I would like to wish everyone here with my own picture and not infringe anyone elses? Hope that's ok

Why not feature Aaron and Rosie on the blog? Their love story is amazing and can be followed from start to present in their Flickr streams. Rosie lives in England and Aaron in the US and Flickr brought them together. After starting their relationship on Flickr they started making collaboration shots for their 365s on Sundays - making it appear as if they were together even though they couldn't be. They are both amazingly talented and creative and these collaboration shots are often out of this world!
While writing this Rosie is visiting Aaron in the States for the first time, which is only their second time together (Aaron went to Rosie in August), and I know that a whole bunch of Flickrites are following their every move their through their pictures and their joint blog. Don't miss out on smiling, laughing and crying with these two; they really prove everything is possible!
First collaboration shot: flickr.com/photos/aknacer/2562204782/in/set-7215760588108...
First time together for real: www.flickr.com/photos/rosie_hardy/2677590245/in/set-72157...
Together again:

Hi!
I would like to recommend one of the best photographers that I found on flickr. He has a nice collection of macros of flowers and really nice portraits of many different people but this time, and given the festival that we celebrate this week, I would bring out his bright view of Diwali: You can enjoy it here:

i'm hoping this doesn't get seen as "pimping my stuff", since i'm not really pimping anything of my own, personally, but the story does have a lot to do with me.

recently, i got engaged. i posed a question to my local flickrites group, cream city milwaukee, wondering who would be game for doing our engagement photos for us, if anyone?

after a couple of volunteers at first, some discussion, and a bright idea, the group themselves came to the conclusion to have me and my fiance be the subject for the next month's photowalk.

so, for about 2 hours one sunny saturday afternoon in milwaukee, my fiance and i got to be photographed by 11 different photographers (some amatuers and some actual pros), and currently have over 300 images to choose from for our official "engagement photos." all of this, completely free to us.

we even created a new group pool (http://www.flickr.com/groups/phlewtephotowalk/) just to store the massive amounts of photos from that day. it was an experience i'll never forget, and it never would have happened if it wasn't for flickr.

So, I was just helping this guy out on the Forum, and it turns out he's Peter Gostelow, who spent a few years riding a bicycle from Japan to England.

He's got about 1000 photos of that trip in his Flickr stream.

Here's a few highlights I enjoyed:

The whole story here. He'll be embedding the Flickr slideshow there, he tells me. I just thought this is a terrific story, so do with it what you will. :)

One of the best things about this time of year: cozy Cafés

It's cold outside, it gets dark earlier and earlier, you've been out doing a bit of Christmas shopping, wrapped in coats and scarves, and as your reward you find a free table with some comfy chairs tucked away in the corner of your favourite cafe.

Alot people really like fisheye pictures, I know I do. But none of us want to pay $700 for the lens. I really like how people have gotten creative and used door peepholes to get a simular look.

I think this is something to look into for the flickrblog if it hasnt already been done!
