Prints, Cards, and E-Cards (aka: what's new)

Labels:
I've found some references to FotoMoto on the web now and thought I'd give it a try. It is a service that integrates into websites, photoblogs etc. and offers visitors additional functions for ordering prints, greeting cards or e-cards by directly tapping into the site with some - for me - black magic scripting. Or whatever. It even integrates into Lightbox and other scripts - w00t!



It doesn't matter where the content comes from. FotoMoto picks the photo and offers the functionality. If someone wants to buy a print or greeting card, you'll get a notification and should upload a hi-res version to the FotoMoto website. For the very first time, even I can really understand what "Web 2.0" means. :-)

The above photo was made with the AF-Nikkor 2/35mm - a very nice, small and relatively lightweight "normal" lens for DX/APS-C sensors. More on that later!

  1. I'm still one step behind you! What does "web 2.0" mean? :D

  2. It's a word not to be missed in Buzzword Bingo! :D Other than that... it's the mixing and integration of different services. Or something like that. Don't ask me!

  4. By the way, Alex! I've got another question for you! What do you think of this lens?

    I found it for 100€... and I have to chose between buying it or doing a tutorial of camera obscura! :)

  5. These lightweight 50mm lenses are cool - I have something similar from Nikon. It was my first prime. :-) The only thing you need be aware of is that the 50mm will be something like 80mm (so, ideal portait lens) on your Canon because of the smaller sensor. I often found it "too long" and my favorite prime nowadays is the 35mm.

  6. Thanks, Alex! Actually I'd buy it especially for portraits, but I will take a look to the 35mm too! Thanks again! Have a nice day!

  7. I sent an e-card from your blog to my girlfriend today. Wonder if you will get notification when people do that. Thanks for the nice e-card.
