Flickr and my Treo

As you can see, I've added a Flickr badge to the header of this weblog. I've been aware of Flickr, off in the periphery of my computing experience, and I finally decided to look into it seriously when I saw a badge on another weblog.

I've hit a couple of limitations in the free Flickr basic account: 20MB/month, and 3 sets. What these mean is that I could only upload 161 photos this evening, and categorize them into only three sets or collections.

However, I will give Flickr props for having a nice interface, and their organizer is very slick, especially given that it's all written in Dynamic HTML. Well done!

By the way, the photos I uploaded are all ones taken with my Treo 700p. There have been disappointments there, too: I'm not impressed with the colors, and it's very hard to hold still enough to get a clear shot in lower light settings. But, for a camera integrated into a PDA serving as a telephone, good enough, I think.

Click on the badge above and look through the shots. What's your opinion?

By the way, some of the earliest photos, from the day Vicki and I visited Black Hill park, are particularly bleary. I think the lens was dirty, and I've been more careful about keeping it clean since then.
