I recently discovered decluttr.
You probably already knew the ‘view on black’ links in a flickr picture description.
Most of the people use the On Black tool from Big Huge Labs.

I just love coffee.
It’s taste, it’s color, it’s smell.
Here goes one of my favourite coffee pictures on flickr.
It’s a shot by Thibault Mordelet.
flickr fave of the week #2
Have a nice week end !
This morning, a small package was waiting for me on my desk.
My Moo business cards arrived !! I was so excited !!
The come in a nice protected thick envelope, and inside, you get a very nice box, made out of recycled pulp board.
Cards are printed on paper sourced from sustainable forests.
Print quality is really great, and colors are perfect.
Every card has a unique picture printed on it, a picture I took.
This is really great when you’re shooting a concert, or talking about webdesign, and someone turns to be a potential customer.
You give him/her a great bizcard, totally in connected to your business.
MOO.com is gives you all the tools to create these (or another product, like mini cards).
You can connect your flickr account and retrieve your pics.
You can use a photo set, a collection, search by tag… really great and userfriendly !
I am just excited about it !!
Here are some pics of the cards (taken quickly @ work, some other will come)

I think I’ll be sad to give these away … I’ll have to reprint some for ME !!!

I spend a lot of time on flickr, most of it browsing other people’s work.
And I am amazed how much talent is on this site.
I decided to share one of my flickr faves every week.
I won’t be posting every wednesday, but once per week, that’s for sure !
The first fave I wanna share with you is a picture taken by flore, a real good friend of mine.
She’s a swiss girl, living in Lausanne, and she has a real gift capturing moments, playing with light and expressing moods.
This picture is a self-portrait she took in her garden, surrounded with some kind of banana tree leafs
Here it is !
Hope you like it !
Do not hesitate to browse flore’s pictures, she’s really gifted !
You can't catch me, by flore
Hi there ! !
I’ve been told that many people were wondering how to achieve this kind of pictures:
From dusk til dawn
This is a pretty easy thing to do !!
What you need is a panorama picture, where both sides (left and right) are similar (horizon level has to be more or less at the same level).
Once you have your picture opened in photoshop, first change the size of the image (image > image size).
Unselect the constrain proportions option, and set the same height as the width of the picture: you should get a square image.
Make a 180° rotation of the image (edit > transform > rotate 180°).
Once this is done, one more step and we’ll get something looking like a planet:
You need to apply the polar coordinates filter (filter > distort > polar coordinates).
Once you have the window opened, choose the rectangular to polar option (see below)
polar coordinates panel
That’s it !!
You should have a nice planet now !!
Next and final step is to make some retouching to get a nice, clean, and awesome result !
That was easy wasn’t it ?
Feel free to join groups on flickr to share your creations !
Here are some of the submissions to the group Create your own planets:
