Resolution and pixels and image quality! Oh my! ...

When you hear the term 'high-res' thrown about with such abandon when it comes to images for web use, have you ever stopped to think just how big or how high quality and image meant for the web needs to be?

Low-contrast photographs don't have to be boring

There's an assumption that high-contrast images are more dynamic, more compelling, more inviting. Have a go at some low-contrast photography. You might surprise yourself with the results.

Seeking balance in your photos

Balance doesn't mean symmetry; it means an internal consistency and tension within your photos. And it's a vital element of composition.

Fancy that? Fancy photo-sharing facilities from Flickr

Flickr new share

Noticed anything slightly different about Flickr? (Assuming of course that you frequent the Flickr-verse. It’s be a bit hard to notice if you don’t.) They’ve changed their ‘Share’ facility. It’s now a one-stop-shop to share your pixels of perfections via FaceBook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Blogger. That’s all a bit easier and more web-functional than having just the option of email.

If you’re logged-in, you can share your photos, whether individually as a set, in groups, or even your entire photostream to FaceBook. If you don’t want to make all of your photos public on Flickr but do want to share them with your FaceBook friends, that’s all perfectly possible. And you can set things up to automatically share your public Flickr feed to FaceBook.

If you’re not signed-in, you can still share your public photos via Twitter and Facebook in one click, from the now-drop-down share panel conveniently located at the top left of a photo.

There are more changes in the works, too.

All you ever wanted to know about photosharing on Flickr is on their blog.
