Well I have a new neighbor… well him and 3 others in the Hawk clan…

That’s the rule I have been trying to live by lately…

And you get to take photos of the reason you sat in traffic for an hour..

How a person can do this in stop and go traffic is beyond me…

Note from the Developer:

“Hi, thanks for featuring Bulkr here.

The search section, by default, only shows Creative Commons licensed photos. That is why they are all downloadable. If you select “All” in the left menu you will get the actual Flickr result and as you will see, copyrighted photos cannot be downloaded!”

** Great News – And thanks for the clarification **

Have you worried that you might need to backup your Flickr Photostream? Well in case you were here is an interesting piece of Beta software that might be able to help – Watch the Exif download option as it can get stuck – But it is a beta and thus there are bugs to still work out.

Easily download/backup your photostream, all of your sets, your favorites or photos from Flickr search

Bulkr v0.50 beta features:

• Backup your entire Flickr photostream
• Download your sets (select few or all of them)
• Download photos in 6 different sizes
• Write title, tags etc to photo EXIF
• Download metadata to a separate file
• Preview images before download
• Resume download if connection breaks
• Download up to 500 photos in batches from:
  • Flickr search
  • Your photostream
  • Your favorites
  • Any Flickr group
  • Explored photos
  • Any user’s photostream

Now this is interesting and sort of scary:

Search enables you to search all of Flickr and download basically anything you want….

I did a search for “Ford” and got 2849 Results of which I could download all of them 500 photos at a time at any resolution.

So you tell me – I think this is a very helpful tool that could easily be used for bad… that said most good tools have that issue.

While it is still around thou – I would grab it and backup your photostream.

If you are viewing this on an iPhone or iPad … Sorry you can thank Steve for no flash…

Large version is on Flickr – Much more detail

Stitched with Photoshop – I will definitely have to do more pano work in the near future.
