360 Lomo = WANT!

I seriously  want one of these, pull the cord and the camera spins round and takes a perfect 360 degree panorama – non digital, but still awesome.

Image resizer comes to Windows 7

scissors

One of the single most useful applications on my PC is the Image Resizer powertoy, this allows me to quickly resize a photo to send by mail or use in a presentation.

The Powertoy is now available for Vista and Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit) and once installed will give you right click access to a whole range of options for shrinking those giant hi-res images that your hard drive is full of.

Download the Image Resizer Powertoy directly from here. (Full info at : Aviraj’s Blog) Oh yes, did I mention it’s free?

Nothing mmissing here!

From the Westin in Bellevue, WA – Photosynth

I was sitting looking out of my window in my Hotel room (I know, I know…still not at Inbox Zero either)…and I thought that I should stitch together a pano of the lovely view I have from the 11th floor.

Photosynth is even better to show someone a view – here are 26 photos (100% synthy) from my room, stitched together with the wonderful PhotoSynth.

Photosynth – Arch of Titus, Rome

 

Just before I left for Rome, Microsoft Live Labs officially launched the Photosynth tool which allows you to arrange and share your photographs in a completely unique way and explore those photos as if you were looking at the detail of the real world.

It is kind of hard to explain – so explore my first synth of the Arch of Titus in Rome either by clicking the embedded version above, or the full size version over at Photosynth. It is really easy to explore, just click away and watch how you can zoom into details of the arch.

Photojojo Time Capsule – remembering Amsterdam

Twice a month, a service from PhotoJoJo emails me a reminder of what my flickr stream was doing 1 year ago – this week, as I plan a trip for my anniversary – it pinged into my mailbox and reminded me of our trip last year. We had a weekend in Lille, followed by a few days in Amsterdam.

This is my Time Capsule for this week – I’m going to start linking them here when there are good pictures to remember.

Great memories from PhotoJoJo – you should sign up for this – it’s free and easy and prompts you to enjoy your old photographs, and maybe take some new ones!

beer!

Helping you remember – the flickr time capsule

This is an excellent idea from Photojojo – the flickr time capsule – you sign up and allow the photojojo site to access your flickr stream, and twice a month it sends you one of your own flickr pictures from the same time last year.

I took this picture just over a year ago at the Willows Lodge Hotel near Seattle whilst at a team meeting.

Its absolutely simple to set up – just allow your flickr account to be accessed and then enter any mail address and you’re done, it takes less than a minute to do. A moment later a mail arrives confirming you are all set up. Once you have the time capsule running, you’ll get constant reminders of the photos you took one year ago, the more pictures you take the better the reminders – so it even gives you an excuse to take more photos.

The Flickr Time Capsule from Photojojo is here – sign up today for great memories.

back…
