Thanks Jeff. That doesn't seem to be the problem. I was aware of it, but in order to do due diligence I thought I would try both crossdomain urls anyway.
The problem seems to be the following: using photos.googleapis.com no parameter works from this entire table in the reference guide: http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/reference.html#Parameters The following works: http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork The following does NOT work: http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork?tag=nature actually, any parameter after the "?" does not work, regardless of if that data exists in the album. Is this a bug, have you discontinues the use of any of those parameters from the reference table you provide at http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/reference.html#Parameters as well as doubling it up with album/albumID in the example below the table? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to be able to select photos from an album using tags like I could previously. Thanks.
