Uploading to Flickr

With this assignment, you will learn to upload your photos to our Class Flickr account. See instructions below. FOLLOW THEM CAREFULLY:

Open web browser and go to www.flickr.com
Sign in as holderphotoclass (no uppercase and no spaces)
Password is saints (no uppercase)
On the Home page click on 'Upload Photos and Videos'
Now click on 'Choose Photos and Videos'
Your photos will either still be on your camera card or if you might have taken them off the camera memory card and put them on your computer or another storage device. If you don't have a camera memory card reader, I would suggest you get one. Then all you do is pop out your memory card from your camera, insert it into the reader which is then attached to your computer. This reader allows you to copy the files from the camera memory card to your computer. 

Now you will need to select the drive where the photos are located that you want to upload.
Once you have selected the drive and the photo filenames are visible, hold down the 'Ctrl' key on your keyboard and click on each filename you wish to upload. Then release the 'Ctrl' key and click OPEN.
The photo filenames you selected will now be in a box waiting to upload.
FIRST click on the 'Private' radio button.
Then click on 'Upload Photos and Videos'
Wait for the upload process to finish. You will see a green check mark saying Finished!
Go ahead now and click on 'add a description'
This will now allow you to add a Title, description, tags and even put your photos in a set
You will need to do all of these:
The title can be anything - be creative. If someone where to be looking at your photos, what would the title be?
The description is just a few sentences about why you took the shot, what you were seeing, thinking etc. Fill us in on what was going through your mind when you chose the Vancouver Carpentry shop, the red window, the knott hole that looked like an eye
Tags are keywords that describe the photo: picture in picture, carpentry, Vancouver, red, knott hole, eye. These keywords are what help a person searching for photos of Vancouver, etc. find your photo.
Finally you want to add each photo to a set, which you will have to create. The set is always 'yourname - lesson name'. So I would create a set called 'Mindy - Pic in Pic'. You will add all the photos you just uploaded for this assignment to that set. So in our case, a set represents an assignment.
IF YOU DON'T PUT YOUR PHOTOS INTO SETS NAMED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT.

If you have problems with getting your photos onto Flickr, be sure to let me know.

You should be uploading your photos from:

• Rules of Three
• Pic within a Pic
• Angles
