Creating a Flickr Gallery
Creating a Flickr Gallery Even if you don’t have a lot of photos on Flickr, you can easily create a gallery to showcase your area.
All you need is a basic Flickr account and little creativity.
Here are the 4 easy steps: 1. Search for photos2. Click on the “Add to Gallery” icon above the photo3. Drag the thumbnails to reorder the photos in your
gallery4. Write comments to explain why you chose each photo
1. Search for photos
Be general at first and then narrow your search down to particular seasons or features.

Note: When viewing your search results, click on i to open a “more information” pop-up window. This allows you to view the photo at a larger size without losing your place in the search.

Hint: open potential photos for your gallery in new tabs or browser windows to keep track them easily.

If this is your first photo in a new gallery, create the title and description here. You can edit this information at any time.

Additional things to consider:
1. Once you add a photo to your gallery, a one-time message (Flickr email) will be sent to the photographer to notify them.
2. There is a maximum of 18 photos per gallery.
3. Be specific on which photos you choose.
4. You cannot choose photos from your own photostream.
5. Don’t worry about photo licensing since all the photos are still housed in Flickr.
6. You cannot get an RSS feed of your galleries. ie: cannot use on your website or Facebook page.

7. Photographers can control who can add their photos to galleries by changing their preferences at http://www.flickr.com/account/prefs/galleries.
