FotoViewr Presents Flickr Photos In Unusual Ways
I’ve been uploading a photo a day (actually three photos per day) to Flickr for the last 31 days. It hasn’t become an abominable chore yet, but I have found it difficult to make time for new pictures every day. It’s also a bit of a pain to edit every photo once they’re sent, since Picnik takes forever and a day to load, but the results are well worth it. In fact, you can already see how Aiden and Gavin have changed over the last month. The long term results should be very gratifying.
I learned of a 3D photo gallery tool called FotoViewr from a friend on Twitter. You just pop in your Flickr handle, select a subset of pictures to display (by set name or by tag word) and then choose a 3D format. FotoViewr then creates an interactive photo gallery of your last thirty photos. I really like the “wall” format, shown above, but the “floor” format is also very cool. There are also links to each photo on Flickr and a full-screen mode (although my monitor resolution is too high to make this work well).
The best part is that you can embed a FotoViewr gallery in any blog post. This would come in handy if I uploaded lots of pictures to Flickr, but I’m only using it for my 365 projects now. There’s even a WordPress plugin to show a FotoViewr gallery on your blog sidebar, but it might be too small to see clearly. I’ve downloaded it and will play with the settings on our blog later. Expect more FotoViewr galleries from us in the future!
