Flickr roll

In this thread, link your Flickr account, and any groups you admin / galleries you curate / etc etc, so we can all look at each others pictures and award each other little animated gifs and say BEAUTIFUL EXPOSURE and the like.

I love the swans from above.

Wish we'd had more snow where I am. Snapped a couple of crap shots on the way to work yesterday, that's the only chance I had.

This is the joint account I have with my missus:

We've had it since March 2005 and, unless you're a "friend" and/or one of a group of SE London parents who've been sent Guest Pass links to some sets, you won't be able to see the vast majority of the 6,000+ (!) images on there. Just tedious pictures of my commute or nice pics of things Pam has made.

Don't admin any groups but I did curate a Gallery a while back for lovely bits of signage culled from my Favourites:

Ledge I see you have a set called Lake District 09; is this stills from the film shoot for a beatific BBC2 TV spin-off of the sc-fi apartheid film?

I admin the very specific Cats with CDs group, and the slightly less specific Compact Discs group.

it's a beautiful dream! (xp)

My flickr is full of photoshopped pictures of andrei arshavin and not much else.

Mr Southall, from your first few pages, I especially like your 'fingers of ice' and 'tired bob' photos.

I'll look through more of the stuff here later..

Hmmm. That's got me thinking. Let's have a mini sub-thread in this thread...

Titling Photos
I tend to give my photos either quite flippant or else very dull & descriptive titles. I feel that this is holding me back, and that this image, say, http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2521/4234774484_453ac0d422.jpg, rather than being called "Shadows", ought to be called something wanky and pseudo-poetic like... "There will never be more than one sunset between you and I", or some such bollocks.

But seriously, how do you go about titling photos for upload?

I ask my wife. Otherwise everything ends up being "milk child" or "blanket window", like I'm some mentally-challenged contestant on Roy Walker's Catchphrase.

But, yeah, punnish references to popular culture are fine by me.

the stages of my flickr titling:

2005: camera supplied e.g. dsc00078
2005-2007: short descriptive/punny titles
2007: unicode characters to 'represent' the image e.g. /≈/ for

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1429/649771187_51b13caad2.jpg

2007-now: no titles

See I think "milk child" and "blanket window" are fabulous titles. Better, and more abstract, than, say Upside-down chair or Balloon animal, which I think are my own personal nadir.

unicode characters was my fave but it got too difficult to keep up, i was just repeating the same ideas.

with no titles the image speaks for itself, maaaan.

I think playing safe with just a regular "this is what it is" title is better than overreaching for some comic effect or my own "say what you see" double-noun blankness. Also, I know my in-laws are now looking at our photostream, so "Fucking Menko" or "Shitstorm in a Piss Cup" are right out.

The Unicode era was great, Ledge.

Ledge, during the Unicode era did you find yourself taking pictures just cos you knew you had characters to represent it?

haha no way. could be an interesting strategy though!

my finest effort i think:

Awesome!

titling/captioning is one of my favorite things to do~

http://www.flickr.com/photos/giboyeux/

most are from uganda, the rest are vain/stupid iphone/photobooth pics and stuff i took years ago on a shitty point and shoot

will probably cull/overhaul at some point once i get my ~workflow~ down

All my stuff is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyecandyforthebrokenhearted/

aw lukas is that your turtle???

no i found it outside my door, far from its home ;_;

love the skatepark pics

haw! if you have decided to take care of it, let me know, I've dedicated a large portion of my time to learning how to take care of turtles

that is just a weird thing to say

you're a weird thing to say >:|

tbh I have never said aloud "be told and get high on coconut," mostly because it would be weird to say

Thx gbx!

Left the turtle there ... but I live in a big apt complex, I figure he has an owner who grabbed him.

owner...or turtle murderer

lol gbx it was just mock rage - I like phrasing things awkwardly

This hysteria over turtle abuse has to end. Statistically they're more likely to get molested by soldiers who are all gay now. I remember when you could kick a ball in the street etc

http://www.flickr.com/photos/celluloidpropaganda/ - going to start uploading more. Eventually.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/nik-hil/ -

At least 3 of you would have been added as contacts yesterday. Going to get rid of everything old, mainly travel albums, soon and rehaul my entire flickr account.

Does anyone also post on jpgmag.com?

Here is my Flickr account...http://www.flickr.com/photos/tera/
I like to use a cheap camera phone sometimes. I like the dreamy effect, light and subdued colors.

Was startled to see a big spike on my Flickr traffic and noticed that a couple people went through my entire Flickr photostream.

Introduce yourself next time.

What do your Flickr tags look like?

Mine are quite boring...

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6030/6018890099_6f622df946.jpg

can't believe you go by 'CraftHo' on etsy

It's about time we put something up there to sell (my only contribution would be the photography)...

(Flickr account has always been a joint thing with my missus)

If you're going through someone's photostream, do you think it is a good idea to "introduce" yourself? I look at a lot of travel and architecture pictures, my idea of showing appreciation is to leave a compliment or star something. I hope that is enough, some people look awfully busy.

It used to drive me nuts when people put lots of sparkly comments and graphics all over good pictures. When an American does this I want to beat them over the head, but I'm more forgiving of Europeans, I think they do this because they don't all write in the same language?

Excellent angle!
This brilliant photo is awarded a Pentax Flickr Award!

U truly made me feel her pain. I want to buy Nikon 5d soon so I can express myself.
This is a vision into a world we can never truly enter.

Magnificent.

lotta crybabies on flickr today

Isn't there just! I don't mind the re-design. An option for a "classic view" would maybe be nice, possibly some minor customisation options for the photostream, but it certainly doesn't deserve the reaction it's had!

a lot of people are appearing in my feed with images that say "flickr: born 2004, died 2013" etc.
people are crazy.

It's the account changes that are frustrating; I quite like the redesign.

I am hedging my bets though, so let's see if I can embed a photo from 500px...

http://pcdn.500px.net/34809892/4d7309cfb4b1dfd787941f17e04f898e9d05facf/4.jpg<br/><font style="font-size: 120%;">Liverpool World Museum by Michael Jones</font>

Shame about the bit at the end.

what are people's complaints about the accounts change? do you have more than 1TB of photos?

Mr Jones, would you recommend 500px?

Well, I've paid $25/year for 8 years for a Pro account. Now I can either let it lapse and get ads (I can ad-block, but ppl surfing my stream on a Guest Pass won't be) or pay twice as much for ad-free. Or just carry renewing the Pro account for as long as Yahoo decide to keep it going (it's not really part of the new structure). Bit annoying. A cheaper transition to Ad Free for long-term Pro users would've been nice.

xp - it seems quite nice, good blend of the new-style Flickr look with lots of text on the right. Don't fully understand the community aspect of it yet (one of my photos has a "pulse" of 52.6, whatever that means) but everything I've put up has a view or two.

i dont mind the layout, but its def making digging through 2000 photos of my photostream to find one specific photo pretty difficult compared to the old way

I'll complain a little now. for whatever reason no photostreams will load on my work computer (5 year old or so imac). don't know why.

like if i want to find a specific photo thats 1000 photos deep in my photostream, i used to be able to just skip to like page 20 or something and then click few a few more pages till i found it

with the new layout it seems like it gets really confused and the same photos show up on pages 14, 15, and 16

I find my own stuff by searching mainly so I'm fine there, but otherwise these changes are getting worse and worse for me. My flickr experience involves lots of wordy stuff - descriptions and comments - which are now buried below the fold. Plus all the hierarchical organization things (sets and collections) which have been rendered more or less invisible. Even Facebook gets you to albums more easily. Ughhhhh.

Flickr is reborn in my mind

I feel bad that I don't use it. Mostly bad for myself since I still pay for pro, just to keep the archive... but I don't take proper photos any more and my drawings go on instagram.

I'm still at it! My thing now is to polish off 'chunks' of uploads (alternating between friends/life and architecture tourism) and then hype those up with little ten-photo 'highlights' posts to Instagram. My Insta is private to friends only, so it's not like this is driving a ton of traffic... it's just to give me that feeling of sharing the pics with people in my circle.

Still paying for it, still pretty happy there. 27.5k images and counting. I'm always 2-3 weeks behind with uploads, worse if I've just had a proper shoot (like a wedding, last weekend) which isn't going to primarily be shared through Flickr, but it keeps me off the streets. Insta (private) is still mostly Proper Camera, but quickly wifi'd to my phone and generally same day, if not instant. Flickr is usually a superset of the same images, just a lot later.

I’m still there too. Like others, I’m a couple weeks behind

I really enjoyu the mad voyeurism
