As usual I’ve made a pummelvision style video:
The featured image is a montage of the same photos and here is an average:
Because I’ve now got a local database of my flickr photos it was easy to get all my tags of the year and make a wordcloud.
And a slitscan (or a sort, given these are separate still images):
Another year, another collection of photos
As usual made with few tweaks of this gist. The featured image made with a similar script. Got a tag for these things now: flickr year, need to find a few posts. I’ve been doing these since 2014 time flies!
A year ago yesterday I posted 2020 in a photo which was the result of a ds106 daily create. I ran my video of a year’s flickr photos through and script that averaged them and a slitscan processing process. Details on that post.
I decided to try the process with this years. I am not sure if the results are interesting or not. I did enjoy the process. This years photos stopped in October.
Here is the video again
and the results:
Here is the montage of all the pictures. I wonder if there are any other ways to play with the years set?
Since 2014 I’ve been making “movies” with my flickr photos for the year. I make them with a script which downloads the years photos puts them together into a movie and, use to, add music. The Music bit is broken (https) so I downloaded some manually.
This year pretty much stopped in October, then I got covid in November and have not been out much since.
I also average the photos ( below) and montage them for the featured image. This year I made a version of the script to download wee square images for the montage (average & montage scripts here).
I enjoy both the process and watching my photos flickr by. I like the fact that I can easily tweek bit of the script or run the video creation again quickly to try out different speeds, music etc.
A ‘video’ of the flickr photos I’ve posted over the summer holidays. generated mostly with this script.
My Year in Flickrs
All the photos I’ve posted to flickr this year, stitched together. I’ve updated the script a bit from this one, need to get the gist up to date too after some tidying.

script to download pile of flickr images and make a movie like the old pummelvision service
Creation notes: 2018 flickrs by, the script. I think I prefer this faster version.
I liked the Pummelvision service so when it went I sort of
made my own. Which lead to this:
Flickr 2014 and DIY pummelvision and 2016 Flickring by.
I went a little early this year:
I’ve updated the script (gist) to handle a couple of new problems.
I have great fun with this every time I try it, I quite like the results but the tinkering with the script is the fun bit. I sure it could be made a lot more elegant but it works for me.
A couple of years ago I made a video of all my flickr videos in the style of the now dead pummelvision service.
I dug out the script tidied it up a little, and made the above video with my 2016 photos.
I uploaded the script in the unlikely event that someone else would want to do something like this. It is not a thing of beauty, I am well out of my depth and just type and test. The script need ffmpeg on your computer (I’d guess mac only as it used sips to resize images) and a Flickr API key.
The script also leave you with up to 500 images in a folder. Before I deleted them I made a montage and averaged them using imageMagick
montage -mode concatenate -tile 25x *.jpg out.jpg which is the featured image on this post.
and
convert *.jpg -average aver.jpeg
I guess all that the average proves is that most of my photos are landscapes, given the hit of a sky…
