So after messing with Flickr for a bit, I’ve got an issue (with Picasa as well). What I want, ideally, is to have the smaller version of the images I upload to always be 500px. Works pretty well for pictures that are not rotated (landscape), but for portrait type pictures, Flickr and Picasa are “smart” and will rotate automatically, however when they resize to “500px” they resize the width, which is actually the height since it’s rotated. I want the width to be resized to 500px, taking into account the rotation.

Any ideas on a solution to this issue? I’m thinking I could perhaps run a batch on the files and detect if they’re rotated or not, actually rotate the image and then wipe out the EXIF (or whatever) that says the image was rotated… but… I dunno…

Edit: Ugh, from the looks of it, it seems like Flickr will resize the largest dimension to 500px (no matter if it’s widght/height). Suck.

.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }
.flickr-yourcomment { }
.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }
.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }

Testing flickr. I suspect breakage is going to happen.

50mm is so great for the price! These pics were taken in our apartment with the 50mm and flash. More in the gallery.

I suppose it’s my turn to post some Denny’s pics…

Badabum!

Some pics from… whenever we all ditched Kathy and went to IHOP. We should do it again sometime, was fun. =) Male bonding ftw, lol.

In that pic above, you can see indians behind Nathan. They made us laugh and Viraj shook his head and muttered “indians…”

Olivia gave me a ducky… and I took a picture of it with my new flash (Sigma EF-500 DG SUPER!!!). Yeah, I felt like the “super” required the exclamation points…

Ducky, mouse, and Kirby:

BAM!!

As requested, here are some more detailed pics of the Microsoft Rubik’s cube:

… and a picture of Viraj to seal the deal:

Simply magical.

This is Olivia, she is not happy. However, I am quite happy how well this turned out. =)

I think the pic above loses some of the effect so small, so… here’s a larger version.

This is me playing with selective color/black&white. I don’t really like it, I got sloppy… but I figured I’d throw it up here anyways.

I didn’t really do anything to this other than cropping it, but I like it a lot, so here it is. =)
