Flickr, Photobucket or Picasa

I don't know about you, but for me, figuring out the differences between online photosharing sites is just confusing. In fact I ended up having an account on all 3 (Flickr, Photobucket and Picasa).  So far I like Picasa the most. It's easy, allows many albums and unlimited uploads, plus I could easily figure out how to make and embed a slideshow in my blog. However I'd love to hear you opinion. Which one are you using?

So far this is the best short description I found on the net: (HERE)

"Flickr’s free account offers a 100MB monthly upload limit (10MB per photo) and only 3 sets (aka album) can be created with no monthly bandwidth limit. Flickr allows only the 200 most recent images to be viewed once you have reached more than 200 images uploaded. You can post any of your images in up to 10 images in a group. Original size images are saved for later upgrade and only smaller images will accessible after being resized.

As for Picasa Web Albums, a free photo sharing service offered by Google providing 1GB of free storage and the images uploaded to Picasa Web Albums can be no larger than 20MB and are restricted to 50 megapixels or less with no monthly bandwidth limit. The maximum number of web albums allow is 250 and the maximum number of photos per web album allow is 500.

Lastly, Photobucket’s free account offers 1GB of free storage with a 25GB of monthly bandwidth limit and custom URLS for up to 10 albums. The images uploaded to Photobucket can be 1MB each or by 1024×768 resolution. However, you can have up to 50 images per slideshow (some slideshows vary) and you are allow to upload a 5 minutes of video playing time (100MB in filesize)."

Behind the Lens: Ellen Von Unwerth

Ellen Von Unwerth might not sound familiar, but I bet  you have seen her work many times already! Among others, she shot the the Sex and the City 2 Promo/Cover but she has been featured on countless Vogue editions around the globe as well. I love her take on feminine sexuality and power. I am a sucker for black and write photography and her provocative shots are right up my alley!

Behind the Lens: Francesc Catala Roca

Marta has introduced me to the work of Catalan photographer Francesc Catala Roca. His black and white images taken in Spain in the 50's-60's are making my heart swoon. Get a cup of coffee/tea and enjoy! It's pure ART!

We'd go down to the river and into the river we'd dive

The Danube was crazy high this year and this weekend I managed to snap this very documentary type photo. Have you ever seen a guy riding a bike on a river? :D

My first "street style" photo

{Dress - from a Singaporean boutique, Shoes - Lefties, Bag - Mango, Watch - Dior}

Here it goes, my first street style photo!!! :D OK, she is one of my best friends so it is cheating a bit, but I think it can be a great confidence booster to start taking pics of your friends a la Scott while you learn the ins and outs of street style photography. Did you know that the best is to keep the camera right about the height of the hip of the model? :) Now I just have to suck it up and start asking random stylish people to pose for me.  Scott, please send some energizing and encouraging thoughts! :) Tell me people, (other than the king and queen of street photography Scott and Garance), do you follow any street style blogs?

New Chapter

I started Gypsy*Diaries, my personal/lifestyle/travel/fashion blog in March 2010. Blogging has changed my life. I realized how much I enjoy the online world and how much I'm looking for a new path in my life. In April I bought my first DSLR camera (Nikon D3000) and I couldn't put it down ever since. I am currently scouting art schools and I'm planning to start a 2/3 year photography program in September.  While I adore Gypsy*Diaries, I felt like I needed a separate space for my adventures in photography, so I decided to start Gypsy*Photography. I will not only share my best photos here with you but I'll post about other photographers and photography related topics as well. I'm at the very beginning of my journey, which will hopefully lead to a new career, so bare with me and let's learn together! I live in Budapest, Hungary but more than anything I enjoy travelling the world! Come follow me!  :) I'm so excited to share this journey with you! :)
