Exploring Flickr I found a lot of ways to find pictures and share them with others. You can create an account and upload pictures for free. This is great for photographers because it puts a copyright on their work. You can search photos through different tags on a tag list or in the search bar. Each photo can have numerous tags in which will also give you ideas as to other images you can find on the site. You do not have to have a Flickr account to view photos and share them.
When putting pictures on your Flickr account, you can adjust the pivacy settings where it is public or private. It can show your real name and geological location of where the picture was taken if you wish. One thing I thought was interesting was most of the pictures I had found told what camera was used to take the pictures. Some pictures are a part of different groups. You can also look through the groups and find different pictures that are relevant to the group's title.
I looked up the tag "balloons" in the search bar. A lot of pictures with different types of balloons came up. There was anything from birthday balloons to hot air balloons. The picture above was taken by Chris Coleman. I love the reflection of the balloons in the water.
Under the picture there are comments from various flickr users. It shows the date of when the comment was posted as well as who posted it. You can also look up pictures by date as well. Clicking on the differnt users' names in the comment bar is a good way to find other people who take similiar pictures to the one you have found. This is a great way to find and share images.
I really like the picture you put on here! I clicked on the artist's name and read her caption for the picture. It really made me wish I was there when she took that picture.
