How to annoy yourself by been forgetful

Nothing is more annoying when I come back from a trip only to find the photos I took are far from ideal. And this was what happened to me for the batch of pictures I took in Memphis, Saqqara and Giza. I forgot to change the ISO from 400 that I had used the night before back to 100 and ended up with unusually grainy pictures taken in 37 degrees sunlight...arrggggggg!

Flickr goes MORE social...

My favorite photo sharing site Flickr just launched a new facelift to their homepage. If you are still seeing the old look and feel, scroll down the page and look for a link to try out their new site. Click on it and you will get the blue/pink flickr theme 'snow flakes' falling on your screen.

New features include a small graphical display of the stats above your photo stream, with the major addition of a 'explore' section near the bottom of the page that displays the most 'interesting' photos shared in the last 7 days. There are also more AJAX changes to sections for 'recent activities', resulting in a better user experience without the usual click-wait-refresh of before. There seems to be more emphasis on 'Groups' as well although it is one feature which I hardly use often previously.
