I’ve been asked this often enough that I thought I’d post it for you. I’ve got lots of photos in my Flickr sets and sometimes someone wants to use one. Well, I’ve made them all publicly available and recently I started uploading them at the highest setting Flickr will allow. This lets you download a photo at a quality that you can print.
Here’s how to do it. Got to my Flickr set which is this one in this case. Find the photo you want in the set and click on it. That will open it up larger on your screen. To the right of the photo will be some stuff that includes the key words I’ve tagged the picture with. Underneath them is a section called “Additional Information.” I’ve highlighted that in yellow. One of the choices is “See different sizes,” which the arrow is pointing to. When you click on that a new page will open with multiple picture sizes of that picture. Choose the one you want and then right click on it and save it to your computer.
In this case the biggest size will give you a picture that’s 300 pixels/inch, 2048×1371 and 632k which should make a nice print. In any case you can always email me and I can send you a full size original if you want. If you use any of them we always appreciate credit if possible.

Here’s more proof that our production of ethanol, especially using corn, is becoming a more and more efficient process. I find it amazing how much work is being done by so many companies that you never hear about in the mainstream media. Companies like 
DuPont and FOSS North America today announced an agreement that will help farmers and ethanol producers better understand ethanol yield potential of grain corn being delivered to ethanol plants. The agreement, announced during the Fuel Ethanol Workshop, provides FOSS rights to technology developed by DuPont. Under terms of the agreement, DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred is providing to FOSS proprietary Ethanol Yield Potential calibration technology for use in FOSS grain analyzers. The technology provides estimated ethanol yield in terms of gallons per bushel.
After spending another week on the road at the world’s largest tailgate party of corn growers, the Iowa Corn Indy 250 you get a ZimmCast about ethanol.
Beef, poultry, pork… pick your pleasure. The American Meat Institute is launching a new Web Site to demonstrate how the meat industry responds to consumers and constumers.
It’s a fun way to get a wad of cash… well, a Savings Bond for $1,000 to be exact. Chick-fil-A wants to get consumers involved in it’s “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign, so the food chain is hosting an online photo contest. When you spot that clever little cow urging you to opt for the chicken, start clicking those shutters.
From June 25 through Sept. 30, children age 10 and younger are encouraged to work together with an adult to take and submit photos featuring the “Eat Mor Chikin” Cows in a creative way — whether it’s in front of the Statue of Liberty or at a family picnic. The cows can be costumed, stuffed or even a paper cut-out, as long as they’re included in the photo. The Web site will provide details about uploading photos for the contest.
