Want to see an incredibly creative use for Flickr? Check out the photos tagged with flicktion. Here's the basic premise: Take a photo that you find interesting. Write a little bit of fiction in the comments field. Tag the photo with the word Flicktion. That's it!

Long list of Flickr tools. Check before using with students though.

This is an easy step by step way to make a HDR (high dynamic range) photo with a Nikon D40. You can take a HDR photo using three or more photo. My step by step will show a five frame HDR. You will definitely want to use a tripod

Digital Camera World: the September issue is chuck full of helpful tips, including an introduction to something I'd never heard of: HDR or High Dynamic Range or Digital Blending.  Essentially, you take two identical shots of a subject at different settings, and then combine them, choosing the best parts of each of them.  The results can be fantastic.  Something very new to learn, at age 42.  I'm amazed at how my Mac journey, now almost 10 months old, as basically led me to learn something very new almost every single day I've used this machine.

There's two distinct steps to producing an HDR image. The first is to combine the multiple shots into a single image and the second is to tweak the display of that image to actually show all the data in a sensible way. The last part is the hard part and is called Tonal Mapping.
