How To Organize your Photos and Video
When you upload photos on Flickr, you can see a little box, enter tags there. Tags make it easy for you to find your photos later on when you’ve uploaded loads of things. There is also a space to enter tags on the right on each photo page and you can add tags when using Organizer. To enter tags, type some keywords relevant to the picture, with spaces in between, like “sky park dog blue grass green”. Don’t have any idea about tags, just visit this page to see most popular tags on Flick r- flickr.com/photos/tags/. Don’t want to share your photos publicly, don’t worry, here is a solution, when you upload your photos, check the box that says “Public” or “Private”. Private photos are completely hidden from everyone except you. Now, if you want to be visible to your family or friends, simple, just check those boxes. You can change the privacy of something at any time by clicking on the red (for private) or green (for public) button. You can also set up a private group and invite your friends and family to join it. If you invite them from the group’s page, they are automatically made a member. You can then add content to the group’s photo pool that every member of the group can see. To automatically upload photos to Flickr from your camera checkout Flickr tools.
