Week Three, Assignment #6

#6. In Flickr, explore mashups and other fun things. Use mappr, Flickr Color Pickr, & Montager.

I've figured out how to add my images to mappr. You can see my photo of our school mascot, the CAMS Cougar, sitting in my school library at http://www.flickr.com/photos/31815648@N03/2978641009/map/.

I used Flickr Color Pickr at http://krazydad.com/colrpickr/, and thought it was interesting. I tagged my photos with colors and "color pickr" to see what would happen. I can search my photos in Flickr by color now. You can see one of my blue photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/31815648@N03/2978714565/.

I tried montager, but I haven't found a way to get my own images uploaded to it or to select what picture is going to be used as a template. I haven't located an ID tag in my own photos. I tried using the number 404 that was on my photo, but it apparently wasn't the ID tag to use. The montager site that lets you search by tag is interesting: http://www.deviousgelatin.com/montager/image.php.

I explored a third party site called Trading Card Maker that let me turn one of my photos into a trading card. It was fun, but not something I have any need for. I tried it with a friend's picture, but I didn't want to post it online so I made another Trading Card with a picture of the Eiffel Tower.
