Ms. Jen, is that you humming quietly to yourself as you shoot? I do the same thing :)

Aww. I didn't think I'd be nostalgic about it, but that was about the spot where I first tried to cross the street in India. A test of nerves.

First video on flickr I clicked on & I love it!

This was actually a good video. First it looks like stock footage, then, in the same take, you see all the photographers taking the very same shot. It is nice and carries meaning.

Ms. Jen (62 months ago | reply)
@kapablo - It is surprising how good the video is from the Nokia N82 or even the N95. Those darned modern cameraphones... ;o)
@Dilip - Hee hee hee... ;oD

Ms. Jen (62 months ago | reply)
@Ravages - Did you notice how you are fearlessly walking into traffic in the video in search of the next best photo?
@sirabhinav - Woohooo! ;o)

Adding videos to flickr isn't all that bad a thing, and in this instance is Y! catching up with competition, not unleashing advertising.

Wow, looks like a nightmare for pedestrians.
dchadwick (62 months ago | reply)
hey, by the way, there must be a better place for all you pro/anti video people to have your debate than in the comments for some random video.
Ms. Jen (62 months ago | reply)
@dchadwick - Actually there was nice, wide sidewalks for most of the photowalk on Mount Road, there was just a lot of photowalkers. And then there is Ravages who is good at parting traffic for the perfect shot...
All - Must say that I think short form video as a "long photograph" is not a bad thing for Flickr. I have never really been interested in YouTube or the other video sites, as most of the video I have shot with my mobile in the last few years has been standing in one place and shooting a "long photo" that also has sound and movement.
From an art theory perspective, I am not sure how much we want to part fine hairs on the difference between a 1/30th of a second digital capture and a 30 second digital capture that is then displayed in a digital medium that we view via an LED or liquid display screen. If we want to be purists, then maybe we should be shooting on film and displaying the paper photos on walls in a gallery. But once we enter the digital medium, which we all have once we have a flickr account, then we start to explore with a variety of digital tools and methods.

Because the N82 has such a good camera, high quality video & takes photos in pitch black, I still haven't found a phone I'd like to replace it.
