flickr Accounts

For some time now I have been using a couple of accounts / profiles on flickr but have finally made them more separated. My main account will remain to be “smriti” but the following will be more dedicated to he different activities my photography has natuarally developed into.

  • Austin Restaurants – just those – all pix taken of or at Austin Restaurants
  • moohoorta – my daily instgram, tumblr, tweet, pinterest etc posts
  • smritigraphy – this will continue to be my “photography” site – if I ever get back into it

I hope you will follow these and continue to give your comments and feedback.

The “New” Flickr App for iPhone

Just got the “new” flickr app for iPhone – finally I don’t have to use other photography services just because they had a cool app.

No, Flickr doesn’t have all the cool & fancy filters – but the app is much more functional than it has been.

  • Browse
  • Upload – cannot upload “video”
  • Manage

Full Frame Photography

As I was buying my 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses, I have been eyeing the Full Frame cameras. And when the D700 came out within a couple of months of me getting the D300 – I have been kicking myself.

Now that my buying itch has begun (it has been a while since I have made any photography related purchase – my last was the D80, but that was to replace my D50 which I broke), I am starting to think and compare the following:

  • D700
  • D3 (also considering the D3X and D3S)
  • D4

The D700 might be the most rational option.

Of the 3 main options, I have ONLY used the D700.

I am NOT considering the D800. Can’t get myself to consider a camera that also has video capability. I know the D4 has the same, but . . . .
