Flickr Explore Photos now with EXIF

[asasidh]

Here is a web application that I developed that displays EXIF information along with the Flickr Explore photos of any day. Flickr Explorer . I think this will be a useful tool to understand photos.

Comments are welcome. I am planning few more features to add like matrix view of all 500 Explored photos and Random Display etc.

I like it. It does help to learn about exposure, since it makes you focus only on the exif, and not the rest of the Flickr page.
A few suggestions:

1. It would be useful if you could perform a Flickr search right from the page, that way you wouldn't be restricted to Explore photos only.
2. Maybe also showing the comment from the person who uploaded the picture would be nice. That way you could get even more info about the shot, as many images contain comments about how they were taken, strobist info, etc.

Very cool!! I like it a lot! Already bookmarked. The only problem I have is that you have no control of anything. Now, keep in mind that I know very little about setting up something like that. Well...actually I know nothing about it. Couldn't a search function be set up so that I could look up shots taken with a certain camera. I would love to see shots taken with a Nikon D80 to see what settings others use on their camera. Could also check out a camera that you are thinking about buying.

It is pretty cool I'd like to see it with either a grey or black background (since I can see it on white on Flickr). It probably just popped out at me because I've been sitting here working with Lightroom for the last few hours (my keywording scheme sucks lol)

selective bg color is a cool idea..i will try and incorporate it in an upcoming release

Thanks for the suggestions.. although my features are limited by the api's provided by flickr and my limited knowledge of the same, i will do some research on these and see how i can provide them

I tried for a way to provide camera info though search or providing links in EXIF itself, but it has not worked out as expected yet. Tag search would be an option that i would be exploring now. thanks for suggestion

Thanks for the encouragement given to me.

I have added a Search feature today.
URL (same) : flickrexplorer.appspot.com/

Search can be done for User ID, Tags or Photo title/description etc and the results can be viewed with their EXIF information.

Now we're talking baby!! Now I love it! Very cool!

I see the examples for searching by Tags starts with the Nikon D80. I think I can safely say that I played a crucial role in it's development.

Nice work. Thanks
