"Personal" photos on Flickr.

"Personal" photos on Flickr.

Last night, after my weekend away, I uploaded some photos of Northumberland onto my personal page on Flickr.

Obviously I wouldn't send them to the Pollensa group page, but I thought it would be nice for members to see photos other than those of Pollensa. It would hopefully give my contacts on the site a little more detail about my life and what I like to do!

I hope other members do the same as I would love to see different photos of places or people.

PS - Could I also ask for members to take a deep breath and allow us to see your own photo? After all, the site is private so only invited members can see the photos. What about it, hey??? With all the meetings going on, most of us know what each other look like anyway!

I think that if you select members of the group to be your contacts then they automatically have access to your 'photo stream'. If your photos are 'public' I shoukd think that anyone has.

I've uploaded some family photos to mine so I kept them as family only since I don't expect a 2 year old's family tea is of much interest to anyone else - yawn yawn - just wait till my dad uploads the latest cruise photos...

Get Your Face In Place

I agree with Jane & Pollensa. I'll be adding some photographs which are not from puerto Pollensa or my beloved mountains:lol . But how many treking photographs can you folks stomach?:rollin . I live in what I believe is the best kept secret in the world. The Scottish borders/ Nortumberland Border is without doubt the most beautiful part of the UK. So look out for my photographs from there .

I too would like toy see more members posting their own faces in place of that horriable grey face one flickr provide. As Jane says It's a private place and most of us members can be seen in photographs already on the forum. So stop being shy and get your face in place .

I for one love looking at other members photographs and yes Jane it does give you an insight into who the other members are and their interests.

I also like reading what other people say about the photograph. so please feel free to add nice comments to any picture you really like.

Take Care.

Jane, as long as we're not seeing anyone's private jacuzzi/hot tub photos

Re: Get Your Face In Place

Unless, of course, the jacuzzi is in PP or surrounding areas

Re: Get Your Face In Place

Tonight I uploaded some more personal photos onto Flickr, taken today with my Christmas present - a new digital camera.

I would love to see more personal photos on there and not just of PP and Mallorca.

Fantastic photos Jane

suprisingly we have had no snow which is quite unusual, we are normally just about close enough to the peak district to get some snow wheras relatives who are only 8 miles North west of us hardly ever see any.

Have a great New year and don;t forget the grapes ...... we shall be eating ours at 11pm to co incide with the folks inPollensa Square

Oh how i wish I were there !

Re: photos

Hi cd!

I'm glad you liked my pics. I just couldn't resist as it is so rare here to have snow. But I must say, having Picasa installed (free) is great. It can make "OK" photos so much better!

A happy New Year to you and your family - this year I won't be eating 12 grapes as last year I almost choked!

Talk soon
Jane

From the little I know re Flickr photos, I believe there is a PP site and a "personal" site available for postings. Am I right? If so, then it is great to be able to look at photos that have a PP conection, eg cats from Balaixa. and also on the other site to be able to look at peoples lovely fluffy puppys with no connection to PP. Now, is that just determined by the friends and family option and the public option? As you know, I have little interest in football generally (although there are some very fit players around!) and would prefer not to be bombarded on the Pp site with football players. BUT I know many many people are interested in these photos and therefore should be able to see them somewhere.
Surely it is a good idea to have personal photos and PP photos posted in different areas? Just a thought here, dont shoot me!!

 

[jiggy]

You're right , Bella. There are different areas, or groups, on flickr. You can just upload your photos, then choose which group you want to send them to, ie Pollensa forum group or some other group you belong to. Or if you like, just leave them on your own personal page, ie no group at all.

I for one love to see other members personal pics, it tells us a lot more about them. I upload all my pics to my page, and then just send he PP ones to our group, leaving the 'fit footballers' :eek :lol on my own personal page, along with the fluffy puppies:lol .

And yes,you can also decide who can view your photos by changing the privacy controls. You can make it visible to family or friends or both. Love your new pics by the way, tell me, are your feet pointed to fit your shoes:b

Re: "Personal" photos on Flickr

Bella
Apologies for the footie pics, but I think that I am using the site correctly. All of the PP pictures are associated with the PP group, and the footie pics with another (unrelated) group.
Under "Photos from your contacts" you will see all photos, whether they are PP related or not.
To limit your views to PP only, select the Pollensa Forum Photos group, or type in a related tag search eg Pollensa.

All: Please correct me if this information is incorrect, I'd hate to be treading on anyones toes, and am very keen to be using this site correctly

ps: I just did a tag search myself, and came across a photo called "Rayo en la bahia de Pollensa", which I assume is something to do with electric storm over pollensa bay, which is really exceptional. Puts my storm effort to shame

Cheers
Terry

Re: Re: "Personal" photos on Flickr

Phew! I worried all night that I was going to get grief for that! Its obviously me not putting any photos onto PP site direct, I just tend to put everthing on my page and chose either public for Pp related, or Friends and family for any personal pics.
So, no problems at all then, no ones treading on anyones toes - not even in my pointed shoes Jiggy!
