the Big Picture: London from above, at night.
Wow, fantastic low aerial photography. A bit noisy* in places but so what, it works.
*I’m overly sensitized to this by the current discussion of the Canon 5D and its upcoming replacement and Canon and Nikon’s war for high ISO, low noise sensors.

The Sacramento Bee has a Big Picture knock off called The Frame.
Notice that unlike The Big Picture clicking on a single image just takes you to the picture on a blank page, click More Images to get to the stream of each photo set.
There’s some good stuff buried in there and this is another one [...]

The Big Picture strikes gold again with Man on the Moon, Future and Past.
As someone who watched all of the Apollo moon landings on television and watched Apollo 13, the movie more times than I care to admit, I guess you could call me interested. These images are fantastic.

AutoViewer is a free, customizable Flash image viewer. It looks great and works quite well. It can take a source (flickr set, for instance) and present it as a slide show.

Check out the Roswell2K Route 66 VW Beetle Road Trip for a nice use of flickr for a collection of collections of images. This is a creative use of one little used aspect of flickr for organizing and presenting collections with thumbnails showing what they’re about.
