Some Japan Photos
I’ve dipped a skeptical toe into the waters of Flickr to see if it will be a good replacement for my current photo gallery. Here are the photos I took at the Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto, which I blogged about here.
Maybe I haven’t mentioned this before, but I’m kind of unhappy with my current Gallery installation and am looking for a new way to put my photos online. This is the main reason none of my Japan photos have made an appearance yet. My main requirements are:
- unlimited uploads
- uploading directly from iPhoto while maintaining title, description, and order
- able to easily embed into my own site
Gallery did the first two well enough, but the theming process always looked so complicated that I never wanted to try #3. Also, the interface sucks.
Flickr (with a pro account) can do #1 and #3, and I think I’ve found some software to handle #2. So it seems like a viable alternative.
I welcome any advice here.
Commentary
I use Fraser Speir’s superb FlickrExport for iPhoto and Aperture (which I use frequently) for that purpose, and Flickr is very very useful and looks a zillion times nicer than picasa or any of the other horrid horrid sites.
