Yesterday I worked on a new version of my FlickrMetadataSynchr tool and published the 1.3.0.0 version on CodePlex . I wasn’t really planning on creating a new version, but I was annoyed by the old version in a new usage scenario. When you have an itch you have to scratch it! And it is always good to...

Since last week I have a new digital SLR camera: a 15 megapixel Canon EOS 50D . With it I took my first photo set with Photosynth in mind. I am very happy with the result: 98 photos that are 100% synthy (meaning that they all connect into one seamless 3D scene). Here is a screenshot of this scene of...

For the last week, I have been in love with Photosynth . It was a tech preview in view-only mode for quite a while, but now we finally released it to the masses. I've created three synths from existing pictures, i.e., from pictures I took without having Photosynth in mind. These are my first experiments...

After a long day and night of coding, I released version 0.8.0.0 of my Flickr Metadata Synchr tool on CodePlex this morning.

My app on CodePlex has reached the v0.3.0.0 stadium. It does not sync the metadata yet, but it fetches the metadata from images on Flickr and on a local disk in a form that can easily be compared.

Linking to pictures on Flickr Now that I got some pictures up on Flickr , it is time to try out the Flickr4Writer that RJ blogged about . This morning I delayed going to work because I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunrises I ever saw from my old apartment in Zeist. I had to take some pictures...

Thanks to Matthijs I found a new time-consuming hobby: uploading my pictures to Flickr . I took some 400 photographs with my Canon EOS 20D during my holiday to the South of France in September 2006 . During this vacation I was already being asked by one of the group members if I would put my photos online...

Do you know the Google Earth application ? It's a great free program that allows you to fly over the surface of the earth and watch satellite imagery and aerial photograph. The detail level can be amazing: details of up to 50cm can be visible. But those detailed images are not available for all locations...

Frits (a non-blogging colleague and friend) was commenting that he was looking forward to Grand Canyon related pictures. I have gotten a very nice preview of the Grand Canyon yesterday. British Airways was kind enough to fly straight over this awesome piece of nature. As I was looking at the inflight...
