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.

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.
