My experience on Flickr was good. I found what I wanted, which was the ocean, quickly by searching the popular tags. I did not want to set up an account with Flickr because I already have an account with a different photo sharing program called Instagram. None of my friends have a Flickr so I would be looking at strangers' photos which is weird to me. Flickr seems more of a program for aspiring photographers because the pictures look professionally edited. I could not figure out how to upload the image so I took a screen shot of the photo instead. It gives me motivation for Spring Break that is in a few weeks! Flickr seems like a good site to find photographs for slide show presentations so I will be returning to Flickr in the near future. Remembering to cite the photographer is very important because of moral and ethical reasons, not to mention the possibility of a lawsuit if a person fails to cite the photographer also. This picture of the beautiful ocean waves was taken by

Autumn when I had to use Flickr for the first time I was also thought it was weird because I did not know anybody on this site. I also like how you will be using this site for future usage and personal motivation.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture that you picked! It immediately took me back to Waimea Bay on the North Shore of O'ahu. We lived there for a few years and it's what I think of when I think of home :-)
ReplyDeleteI have played around with Flikr before, but I agree, it seemed more for people who were aspiring photographers, not snap shot artists like myself ;-)
The picture you chose is very pretty and soothing. It make me want to go on vacation too. I also think Flikr has good pictures for power points and presentations, maybe because they have such a great selection of almost any picture you could need. It is hard to believe it is not used that much. I also do not use it but I do not use any photo sharing program. I should get more into these kind of things to help me be a better teacher.
