P J Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Below is a link to a Flickr group called Warrington Worldwide Camera Club. It may be a way to run and vote on comps though I'm still not sure how we will do that. Either way Flickr accounts are free and it makes things easier when you want to post an image on here as you just copy and paste the link info. See what you all think and if you reckon its a goer I'll leave it up. http://www.flickr.com/groups/1564516@N25/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I joined the group this morning and have uploaded a few pictures. More to follow no doubt very soon I hope it's ok to upload favourite older ones too rather than just more recent ones... of course it is eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Upload as many as you wish Dizzy. Welcome aboard to Peter T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Have been a member of Flickr for a while, so have put my application in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Help PJ (already I know, sorry) But I have noticed that whenever I click the link from here my photo's aren't visible unless I am actually logged into Flickr ... yours (PJ's) are visible though. And Peter only shows up if I am logged in too but it doens't show his photo either although I can view it by clicking on his 'member name' and then it takes me to his actual 'photostream' rather than showing them on the group page. I think I must have done something wrong ... again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Peter didn't add his picture to the group yet Dizzy so you won't see his picture there but on his photostream. I signed out of flickr and followed the link to the group and I couldn't see your images either Dizzy. Have you set any privacy settings on them such as only cotacts or friends??

Dizzy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'll double check although I just left it as how it was when I registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P J Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 It all seems fine now Dizzy. Welcome aboard Algy, some great shots amongst your uploads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks PJ, pleased to join you all, I will try and sort some of my older stuff I took with my old Minolta SLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Some great pictures Algy... PJ... I sorted my odd problem last night. It was my own fault as although all the photos were set to 'public' I had changed my profile 'privacy and permissions' to HIDE my photo's and personal details from Public Services and Searches (API Searches) done from outside of Flickr. Reason... I was quite shocked the other day when I did a google search on images of Stockton Heath and Walton and loads of MY OWN photo's came up which now explains why a local website has some of MY pics on some of their pages too Guess the way around it is not to name your photo so specifically eh Not a problem though and I just wont upload pcs of family or of the kids as they'd thump me if they finished up on google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Can't upload on this laptop. Will pm you Dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Dizzy that's one of the problems with using these site and the reason I only leave pics on the forum for a short while before deleting them from photobucket, you can watermark them but it does spoil the picture.

P J Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Dizy, I only put ip images I am ready to share with the World on open display, although Flickr does have a family setting which means you can set individual images to be viewable only by people you have added as a family member. If a website has used your images without your permission they are doing so illegally as you own the copyright. Is it a commercial site Dizzy?

P J Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Welcome aboard Gary, it will be nice to see some of your piccys on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Cool... but that's not fair cos he's got a really posh camera too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Welcome aboard Victor, looking forward to seeing your pictures. We're getting quite a nice sized group now. How about we all have a go at popping a few pictures on the Flickr page and also try to add any critique you may have about other peoples stuff. Try to be as honest as possible as its a great way to learn both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Cool... but that's not fair cos he's got a really posh camera too Just because someone (I am generalising now and not pointing at Gary) has the equipment it does not neccessarily mean they know how to use it Dizz, you must have heard the saying "All the gear and no idea" I for instance am very much a point and press person, it's only when something stares me in the face that I will compose a shot. So what I'm saying is let everyonr be judged on merit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm mostly a point and shoot too Algy as it's the only way I seem to get half decent ones STILL .... so yes lets judge on 'merit' but also 'determination' eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 It's raining now, so I'll not bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Don't worry Peter by the time I went out it had gone all grey and miserable again. I still took my camera to take some of Stockton Heath village but they are all grey and gloomy and there was so much traffic it was hard to get any decent photos anyway Got some more of potholes that have appeared though... I'm starting to get excited when I spot new ones Also got a couple of strange ones in the graveyard I'll upload them on here and in the camera club flickr area in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
