Tag.......Your it!

Sorry its been a while since i last posted , been rather busy with one thing and another (including some paid photo work!!).....Anyway i am back !!!!

The other day i was reminded about what i think is a little used ability in Flickr ,which is to add tags to other peoples photos. I only mention this because i think it is quite a handy tool ......The main reason for this is that when somebody searches for a paticular image on Flickr it will search any images tagged with a key word , so for example if you have a picture of an apple ,then you would likly add the tag `apple` followed normally by your camera model and maybe where you took it ....so if somebody searches say , apple nikon d60 , it will have your image in the results .....but what if someone serches for `Fruit` `Green` .....then the image wont appear .......

So if you notice that one of your contacts has left out a tag that might result in a few more people finding the image ,why not add it for them ????.....its done in the same way as adding tags to your images , just click `add a tag` and put your word or phrase in(keep it clean!) , the person that has been tagged will be notified that you have added a tag ,and are free to remove it if they wish (hovering your mouse over the tag will also show who added it .As a further example i was listening to the SCL podcast over at http://www.robnunnphoto.com/ ,Rob talks about his attempts at pinhole photography with the lensbaby composer this week and mentioned how those images look `ethereal`,  looking at the image on flickr, i remembered rob mentioning this word but it had not been added as a tag ,so i stuck it on..................Lets help each other out ,and get tagging!!!!
