100 новых правил Интернета по версии журнала GQ: Flickr

Новая порция знаний от британского журнала GQ. На этот раз блок посвящён самому популярному фото-хостингу в мире - Flickr.
 

For visual kicks, there’s only one place to go. This grand old photo-hosting site is now home to more than five billion pics. To become your own picture editor, do the following:

1. Only upload your best photos. It’s a showcase; show a little editorial restraint, limit your uploads to one or two a day at most and you will be rewarded with attention.

2. Name your photographs. Don’t just leave them as “DSC0012” – this makes them impossible to search through. And tag them religiously to make them searchable.

3. Make sure you are set to the right licence for your photos. “Creative Commons” is the best licence for most users: it means your photos can be used only if you are attributed, helping to promote your work. Keep all rights reserved if you expect to get paid for every shot.

4. Man up and pay for Flickr. It deserves to survive – it’s a genuinely supportive online community where stranglers praise your work. Also, make sure you tag your camera settings for the photo nerds.
