Flickr – put your picture on the map and clusters (Part 3)
Following a question from a reader so I started to look at this to find out their photos on Flickr. I had been given to me that it was complicated, but I quickly learned that it was very easy. Just go to the image you want to put on the map and then you will find a link under “Additional Information”.
When you click it, you will enter a map mode where you see your image in the bottom and the map above.
You can maneuver around the map by dragging the map, or use arrows. You can zoom in and out also. It is good to start with a large map to zoom in to the right place. Try also typing names instead of search. It is quite possible that others have put pictures there and then the map will zoom into the right place.
the map where you want it.
Flickr has lots of nice features and one of the newer so-called “cluster”. Flickr assembles clusters of images that are tagged with the same thing and you can easily get an overview. I found it easy to surf around the different clusters and find new nice collections of photos. Here are a few that I got stuck in africa, climate, twister and photo. You can easily surf on through the proposed similar tags or guess on a custom tag in the box where it says Jump to:. Flickr cluster is of course a great way to find inspiration for new, interesting subjects and ideas.
It’s really exciting to explore flickr. There will be new functions all the time also, there are a lot of mashups that facilitates enormously.
