Flickrs New Look

After the “War and Peace” like length of my last post on “Edit­ing Canon EOS 7D Video with Pre­miere Pro”, I have taken a bit of a break. Here are some quick pho­tog­ra­phy related links to dis­tract while I craft my next mas­ter­piece

• Life­hacker — How to record great video with your hd dslr cam­era. Some great tips on shoot­ing video, includ­ing know­ing which way your focus ring moves. Sounds sim­ple, but you don’t have time to mess around with this when shoot­ing video.
• ImpulseAd­ven­ture — Com­par­i­son of Dig­i­tal Photo Cat­a­log Soft­ware. After my brief reviews of DAM soft­ware such as Adobe Light­room, I found this excel­lent (and mas­sive) com­par­i­son table of pretty much every soft­ware prod­uct for dig­i­tal asset man­age­ment known to man.
• Finally, Flickr will shortly be intro­duc­ing an excit­ing new look, as seen in the image at the head of this post. It also fea­tures a great “Dark” mode, seen below, some­thing which many third party ser­vices had pro­vided in the past. I use Flickr to show­case my images, it’s a great com­mu­nity, and I enjoy the feed­back that an image or gallery on my web­site doesn’t nec­es­sar­ily receive.
