Fluidr is a distraction-free way to view and interact with Flickr photos and videos.
It was designed to allow you, the viewer, to discover and interact with Flickr photos and videos with as little distraction as possible. This is achieved by:
Fluidr is a hobby project of Sidath Senanayake (haelio on Flickr) and was initially developed as a way to share photos with friends and family without them having to wait for page loads each time they moved from one large-size image to the next. They soon found that they would get a lot further into a photostream before moving onto something else when they used early versions of Fluidr.
In light of this it was decided to offer Fluidr to a wider audience as a way to give something back to the wonderful Flickr community. Fluidr will always remain free to use and ad-free. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do! If you like Fluidr, please tell your friends about it.
Fluidr relies on 3rd party open source software and has been inspired by other websites. Please see the credits page for more information and attributions.
The idea behind Fluidr was borne the first time I used Bing's image search. I was taken aback with the feature that allowed you to keep on scrolling through the search results without needing to click on a 'next' link. Being a heavy Flickr user, I thought of putting the two together, and learn some web programming and design while I was at it.
Fluidr would like to thank the following:
Fluidr received useful feedback from john weiss, aaronwitte, Sal Petruzelli Marino, Sergiu Bacioiu, Paulie W, Pseudorandom, Chinsen and Serious Dr. Please provide feedback, it really helps and you might get credited too!
Fluidr is currently in alpha and is a closed project. I intend to open source the code at some point once it is cleaned up. In the meantime, you can track it's progress and provide change requests and issues at Fluidr's project page.
Fluidr was designed in the hope that it would be as easy to use as possible. If you are having issues perhaps the following will help answer your question. If not, please try providing feedback and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Fluidr uses the official Flickr API and so can display whatever results it returns. Many other Flickr viewers and tools exist and will also be able to access your photos through the same means.
If you would not like Fluidr display your pictures in general searches, you will have to make a few changes to your Flickr settings. Please follow the following steps:
Note that this doesn't work if someone specifically searches for you in the user box above; it only prevents your photos appearing in general searches.
Many of the keyboard shortcuts only work when you are in slideshow mode. To enter slideshow mode, simply hit spacebar, j or k. Keyboard shortcuts should then work fine.
The easiest way is to follow Fluidr on Twitter.
Firstly, apologies for this! This can be solved by setting the Safe Search settings in your Flickr account. Head on over to this page and select the option that suits you best. Please note that unless you have signed in, you can only view 'safe' content.
Currently Fluidr is a closed project, but the plan is to open source everything at some point in the not-to-distant-future. If you would like to contribute to Fluidr in a technical or design capacity, please submit a question via the feedback page.
Thank you! Fluidr was designed as a way for me to share my photos with my family and friends and so is entirely a personal project and so if you enjoy using it that's enough :) If you really like Fluidr, consider telling your friends to give it a spin or adding it to your favorite Flickr Apps here. If you feel like sending me money—I'm flattered—but no thanks! Please add whatever contribution you had in mind to your next donation to charity instead.
Fluidr would like to be as useful as possible to all its viewers so please feel free to suggest features, request changes and report problems.
Handheld HDR.
5 shots @ f/6.1 and 1/15. Exposure varied by ISO setting. The shots used here were in the range from ISO 900 to ISO 12800.
Normally you would vary the exposure time, but as i had already reached the lower limit here, i had to bracket the ISO.
EDIT: There is no real ISO Bracketing built into the D700, but if you choose Auto ISO, set the auto ISO time to the longest time you can hold steadily and then enable normal exposure bracketing, the D700 (D300 and D3 too) will first try to bracket using the exposure time and if that's not possible anymore, because it hit the max time, it'll use the ISO.
Info
The Cathedral of Siena (Italian: Duomo di Siena), dedicated from its earliest days as a Roman Catholic Marian church and now to Santa Maria Assunta (Most Holy Mary of Assumption), is a medieval church in Siena, central Italy.
The cathedral itself was originally designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure. It has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome and a bell tower. The dome rises from an octagonal base with supporting columns. The lantern atop the dome, was added by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The nave is separated from the two aisles by semicircular arches. The exterior and interior are constructed of white and greenish-black marble in alternating stripes, with addition of red marble on the façade. Black and white are the symbolic colors of Siena, etiologically linked to black and white horses of the legendary city's founders, Senius and Aschius.
In the interior the pictorial effect of the black and white marble stripes on the walls and columns strikes the eye. Black and white are the colours of the civic coat of arms of Siena. The capitals of the columns in the west bays of the nave are sculpted with allegorical busts and animals. The horizontal moulding around the nave and the presbytery contains 172 plaster busts of popes dating from the 15th and 16th centuries starting with St. Peter and ending with Lucius III. The spandrels of the round arches below this cornice exhibit the busts of 36 emperors. The vaulted roof is decorated in blue with golden stars, replacing frescoes on the ceiling, while the formerets (half ribs) and the tiercerons (secondary ribs) are adorned with richly elaborated motifs.
The stained-glass round window in the choir was made in 1288 to the designs of Duccio. It is one of the earliest remaining examples of Italian stained glass. The round stained-glass window in the façade dates from 1549 and represents the Last Supper. It is the work of Pastorino de' Pastorini.
The hexagonal dome is topped with Bernini's gilded lantern, like a golden sun. The trompe l'oeil coffers were painted in blue with golden stars in the late 15th century. The colonnade in the drum is adorned with images and statues of 42 patriarchs and prophets, painted in 1481 by Guidoccio Cozzarelli and Benvenuto di Giovanni. The eight stucco statues in the spandrels beneath the dome were sculpted in 1490 by Ventura di Giuliano and Bastiano di Francesco. Originally they were polychromed, but later, in 1704, gilded.
Next to the first two pillars there are two fonts, carved by Antonio Federighi in 1462-1463. His basin for the Blessing of Holy Water was later transferred to the chapel of San Giovanni.
The marble high altar of the presbytery was built in 1532 by Baldassarre Peruzzi. The enormous bronze ciborium is the work of Vecchietta (1467-1472, originally commissioned for the church of the Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala, across the square, and brought to the cathedral in 1506). At the sides of the high altar the uppermost angels are masterpieces by Francesco di Giorgio Martini (1439-1502).
Against the pillars of the presbytery there are eight candelabras in the form of angels by Domenico Beccafumi (1548-1550), He also painted the frescoes, representing Saints and Paradise, on the walls in the apse. These were partially repainted in 1912. Behind the main altar is a very large painting Assumption of the Virgin by Bartolomeo Cesi in 1594. The presbytery keeps also the beautiful wooden choir stalls, made between 1363-1397 and extended in the 16c. Originally there were more than ninety choir stalls, arranged in double rows. The remaining 36 stalls are each crowned by the bust of a saint in a pointed niche. Their backs are decorated with carved panels, the work of Fra’ Giovanni da Verona in 1503.

The journey to my youngest son in Kiel in Northern Germany went via the Harz Mountains. The colorful fields I discovered near Goslar. I enjoyed the play of colors and the rich yellow of the rape. I couldn't hold back to photograph them.
My set: Landscapes
Die Reise zu meinem jüngsten Sohn nach Kiel in Norddeutschland führte über den Harz. Die farbenfrohen Felder entdeckte ich in der Nähe von Goslar und erfreute mich an dem Farbspiel sowie dem satten Gelb des Raps. Ich konnte mich nicht zurückhalten sie zu fotografieren.

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black
The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. It's all part of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Located at a Jurassic rift it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km. The lake similar to a fjord is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of mountains up to 2700 m. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. Due to its picturesque setting, the lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers. In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. St. Bartholomä, a famous pilgrimage church with a small inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lakeshore. It named for Saint Bartholomew the Apostle Bartholomäus in German. A first chapel at the lake was built in 1134 from 1697 onwards it has been rebuilt in a Baroque style with a floor plan modelled on Salzburg Cathedral, two onion domes and a red domed roof. St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains.
A bird's eye view of St. Bartholomä next to the Konigssee in the county of Berchtesgaden - Germany. You can see three electric boats. Photo taken from the Jenner mountain top at the height of 1,870 meters where the beauty of the Berchtesgaden valley and Königssee can be viewed. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany.

De Königssee is een meer in het uiterste zuidoosten van de Duitse deelstaat Beieren, nabij de grens met Oostenrijk. Het is het diepste meer van Duitsland, met een maximale diepte van 190 m. De Königssee is 7,7 km lang. Vrijwel heel het meer ligt in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het landschap is vandaag de dag nog net zo onberoerd en betoverend als in de tijd van de koningen. Omgeven door hoge rotswanden ligt de smaragdgroene Königssee als een fjord temidden van de Beierse Alpen. De bedevaartskerk St. Bartholomä met zijn rode koepeldaken, het symbool van de Königsee, is enkel per electroboot bereikbaar. Wanneer de stuurman tijdens de overtocht op zijn trompet blaast, klinkt de wereldberoemde echo van de Königssee, de melodie wordt enkele seconden herhaald – verder heerst hier een heerlijke rust. De rode koepeldaken en uivormige torenkoepels sieren de buitenkant, het interieur van de barokke kerk is een weerspiegeling van de Salzburger Dom. Als in een prentenboek ligt de bedevaartkerk voor het bergpanorama van de Watzmann op een landtong in de smaragdgroene Königssee. De berg als legende omgeven van sagen. De fascinatie van de bergen is zelden duidelijker als bij het symbool van het Berchtesgadener Land. De beroemde oostwand van de Watzmann, die met zijn 1800m - vertikaal de hoogste rotswand van de Alpen is. De wand is steeds opnieuw een uitdaging voor veel bergbeklimmers. Het water van de Königssee is het schoonste meer van Duitsland en voldoet aan de kwaliteiten van drinkwater. Steile rotsen, donkere wouden, wilde ravijnen en gletsjers, maar ook bekoorlijke almen en liefelijke dalen. Flora en fauna worden in Duitsland's nationaalpark aan hun lot overgelaten. De bezoeker beleeft een andere bijna vergane wereld, die hier in stand gehouden en wetenschappelijk onderzocht wordt. Zo bewaren ze hier het heden een stuk verleden voor de toekomst. Het is wat mij betreft vrijwel het mooiste meer van de Alpen en zeker het mooiste van Duitsland.
