...you make your way to flickr.com and have a bit of a look around. You can browse just by searching keywords (why not try: collembola (especially if you don't know what one is) and sort by most interesting or anything else you fancy looking at), you could have a look at popular tags, you can look around the map (see what is interesting where you live), you can choose to browse by camera - to see what people can do with the same piece of kit as you, ...

Review of Flickr.com

Flickr [ http://www.flickr.com/ ] is a place where everyone from everywhere can upload and share their photos. As a person who loves taking photos, a friend recommended this website and I decided to give it a try. So I created my account and was able to upload many photos. What you basically need as a Flickr user is to register your own account and start uploading photos to your account. Registration is absolutely free and you have a limit of space ...
...will only get 20 MB of monthly upload limit, three photosets, and photostream views are limited to the 200 most recent images if you want to upgrade to a PRO account this will cost you $24.45 per 1 year (£12.54 GBP) or 2 years for $47.99 (£24.13 GBP). I would advise you to create a PRO account only if you will be a user who plans to upload loads and loads of photos each month! Pro gives you a 2 GB monthly upload limit, unlimited storage, , unlimited ...

Review of Flickr.com

Flickr can be very addictive, and it even has a group called "flickr addicts"! Since getting my DSLR last year I thought it would be good to go along the photo-sharing route, and initially set an account with Pbase, which is one of flickr's competitors. I used them for about a year before trying out flickr. Initially I was not too keen on the "plain" interface, compared with Pbase which allows users to customise their galleries, but in some ways ...
...the photos more with less distractions. Too much user customisation can be a bad thing if you look at other sites - try comparing Myspace with Facebook and you see what I mean! It took me a while to find my way round flickr and learn how to get more from the site. There is a basic "free" membership which allows people to get a feel for the site, but there are many limitations, and for the sake of about £12/year it's well worth buying a "pro" account ...

Review of Flickr.com

I LOVE FLICKR. There, I've said it, I've declared my love. This is by far (sorry Ciao) my favourite site on the internet. A large community sharing photos and giving advice. I was first directed to Flickr when searching for photos of a Kasabian free gig that I went to - unfortunately, because we were also seeing them later that evening - I didn't have my camera - so I wanted to see if anyone had any photos of it. I didn't set up an account then, ...
...like what I saw. Then, my friend set up a site and sent me a link to her 'slideshow' .... 'oooooh I thought - this looks like fun'. So I finally set about putting my own site up. I now have over 600 photos on there and my photostream (this is what your loaded photos are called) has been viewed 10933 times! My photography has improved immensely, I have learnt how to use Photoshop, I have made friends ... I have discovered talent that I can't believe ...

Review of Flickr.com

When I first hear about Flickr I thought “Oh my God ... another social networking website” and felt sceptic about it, however I decided to give it a go so I registered with Flickr free account. The standard account allows you to upload 100 MB of free photos in a month. This is not a lot considering high resolutions of cameras nowadays. You can upgrade your account for about £15 which gives you freedom in terms of uploading the pictures. Flickr has ...
...Your pics can be easily organised into collections, sets, and described with tags. Advanced privacy options allows you to share photos for example only with other Flicker friends or others like family members who can see your private photos with use of Guest Pass (no registration needed). Slide-show feature makes watching collections more pleasant. I would recommend Flickr to someone who would like to share photos with their friends, family in easy ...

Review of Flickr.com

There's the ability to sort your images into collections and/or sets. With collections you can make sub-folders. It also gives you a stats breakdown so you can view how many viewings you'v had over the last few months, it even shows & ranks which pictures. Nice slideshow features for everyone, tags work well. I got approached by Smapp.com to use one of my pictures online! Offers basic editing, like tag/description. I find Camera finder very useful, ...

Review of Flickr.com

Flickr is such a great website for uploading pictures and keeping them save. It is so easy to use and yo sign up is completely free. You can start uploading your pictures straight away after sign up which makes the whole process even quicker and easier. You can choose to either keep your photos private so only your friends can view them or make them public so everyone can view and comment them. You can also view other peoples photos which can be ...
...but some are really professional breath taking ones of beautiful scenery and landscapes. Flickr is also a very good website for backing up your photos in case something happens to your hard drive as they will be stored on your account for as long as you want them to be. However, Flickr doesn't really offer anything different to other competing image sharing websites such as Image Shack and Photo Bucket which doesn't really make it stand out or special. ...

Review of Flickr.com

I have known about Flickr for a while now, but only just started using it properly over the past few days and I am already hooked. The commnunity part of the site is great and it is not until you start browsing the site and the communities that you can realise there are a LOT of other people out there with the same interests as you and believe me they range from the ordinary to the somewhat bizzare on Flickr. To sum up what is a rather brief review, ...
...of something specific I would be VERY suprised if you didnt find it here, the search facilities work brilliantly and the community, or should I say Groups part of the site is fantastic. I personally have not set up a paid account yet as I have my photos kept private and just like to browse other peoples and do the occasional download, however I may change this later if my needs change, but for what I do on there, the free account is plenty enough. ...

Review of Flickr.com

I have been a user of flickr for about 1 month, i have made many friends and its really interesting to find people interested in the same things you are. I was a member of Flickr for about 2 weeks before i got bored and changed to a pro account, only £13.99(ish) a year and you get tons more room for photos than any other site. I have been a member of flickr for about 1 month like i said and i already i have people from all over the world commenting ...
...shocked to find that you was not bombarded with porno images when searching. Its still in beta, but who cares, the service is already great and there are no bugs with the system. So long story short, if your a photo kinda person then get this service, its GRRRRRRRRREAT ...
