I like to share this photo that I took yesterday, I did a fast panoramic shot of the sunset in Boracay..astig talaga..its my first time to do pano shots here.

My Flickr Pro just extended for another year (and a feature of my Flickr friends)

I subscribed to Flickr Pro for the 1st time (using my own money) and I extended my pro account for another year and it will expire next year April 2012. I decided to use Flickr for now on in hosting large photo files and albums for my blog. I can still upload more photos in Multiply and in Facebook, but uploading it in Flickr is much easier for me in blogging and using a Windows Live Writer adds a little help in posting the entire photos in my Flickr album. I like that feature and posting all photo contents in my blog is fast and easy to manage. (more story below)

Here re some tools and plug ins I used for my Flickr

1. Flickr photo uploader - its free and you can install this in your PC and use it to upload a batch of photos to your account.

2. Flickr photo uploader v.2.5 - I still love the old version, I still have this old version If I need to upload on the fly. I use this old ver in uploading Original Size photos to Flickr.

3. Flickr plug in for Windows Live Writer - I installed this plug in to my Windows Live Writer and its a helpful tool for me in posting large group of photos from an album to my blog post.

Thanks to some blog earnings and to my readers for acquiring this subscription.
Do you use Flickr Pro ? if you have any tips or tools or plug ins that you want to share, feel free to post it here.

Btw, I like to share here some photos uploaded by my Flickr friends and that I follow
ohhh you can add me in Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/people/popazrael/

Photo time during Holy Thursday

The whole gang is here at home and we are busy in our house doing some chores, play with Ash, do some blog back logs, argue with a slow internet speed, cook and eat, and also relax. Lace put up her own garage sale at home and its doing well after the launch last Sunday. The garage sale is open at around 4pm and she sells her old and good condition clothes.. I almost cried to see her plaid skirts up for sale.. ahh memories.

check out some photos and macro test shots I did in Mama’s secret garden

Spotted a back riding white dog….the driver and the dog didn’t wear their helmets…hmp!



Ashton caught me while doing a paparazzi mode at the garage

My Flickr account will expire on April 20 - arghhh

I just received a note from Flickr that my pro account will expire this April 20, I’m so sad that my pro account will end after a year of fun in uploading too many photos for my blog and for everyone. But I have a choice to purchase and extend the pro account. Thanks to Chuvaness.com for the pro gift of my one year pro account here in Flickr. So its up to me if I can continue another year. And my answer is…

Yes! I’ll extend the pro account, but the problem is that I already encashed my Paypal money and I didn’t know that they are now accepting paypal payments, I remember last year that they don’t accept yet for paypal payments, but today, they allow it. Problem is that, I want to extend my Pro account, but the paypal money that I will use for this account is already processed by the bank to be converted into a real money.. arghhhh now I have to wait for another month to generate more paypal money for another service subscription to Flickr.

I love Flickr!
They host all photos in my blog and I don’t encounter yet any problem with them. I love the pro account because they give unlimited bandwidth for your photo host and unlimited photo uploads. On previous post in my blog, I used my Windows Live Writer to post a content in my blog, some photos are hosted at Picassa, but now I discovered that there’s a Flickr2Writer plug in, and you can post photos and the entire album using the plugin for your Windows Live Writer. Blogging and posting my photo coverage is much more easier,compare to copying the html codes one by one of each photos that I uploaded. Its a great combination in blogging – Blogspot and Flickr.

Here’s a reminder from Flickr about my account

Ohh! I saw this in my account…so if anyone of you wants to donate..heheheh just inform me :)


Here’s the rate of a one year pro account

Here’s a comparison for Pro and Free account.

And I love the Pro Account because they have this statistic report that will show in your front page of Flickr, and it displays how many pics you have, the number of views and number of comments activity.

And wow! I have 17,013 photos!!! and I just checked that my profile views got an average impression of 900 views per day.. wow!!!!! I just hope that I can monetize in my Flickr ahhhaahahh.

If you want to have a free account, just log in using your Yahoo! ID and visit - http://www.flickr.com/
