I have spent most of the day catching up on admin work. I have also been trying to get my head around Flickr. I have had to add some functionality to my Meta data tag generator (I know this is a fancy name but it is a small bit of software that I wrote to generate Meta data for my photographs.) The problem was that I couldn't use my meta data from Lightroom because there was too much of it. Flickr only allows 75 individual tags. It is not unusual for each of my photographs to have 150+. Also, Flickr doesn't handle spaces at all well, you end up with the words all rolled into one. Anyway, to cut a long story short I added some simple functionality to the metadata generator that allows me to produce tags for the photographs. So hopefully this will make my photographs more accessable.
One feature of flickr I really like is the mapping facility. Very quickly for start to build up a pattern of where you work. I find this interetsing although I suspect many other people would not - probably says a lot about me!
