I was frustrated by the size of the photos in a Flickr feed... Yahoo Pipes to the rescue!



Using this Pipe, you can opt to have a Large size returned (if available) or even the Original (beware). Just tell it a size, any a tag or tags (and match any/all), a username (if you want to restrict it to a user), and run the pipe. Copy the RSS feed and paste into a photocast.

Two issues:
  1. You'll have to edit the name that Canola gets from the feed to be something more useful
  2. A feed is limited to 20 photos. You could clone the pipe and use the Flickr API and to return up to 500. See this other pipe for an example.

Hope someone finds this useful.

If you had the source code, it would be one line change to request the bigger images :-) Maybe if Leo is asked nicely he will add an option.
