I apologize if this has been covered before -- I did a search and didn't see exactly this question -- please direct me to an old link if your search skiills are better than mine!
I noticed that a bunch of you list your flickr link in your profile. I needed a place for non-365 members (read that as "my mom" who is my biggest fan) to view the photos, so I opened a flickr account and put my 365 photos in a set there. Sent her the link and she's happy.
but, my question is the privacy settings (friends/family vs. everyone, appear in search). I may be especially paranoid, but I put all the limitations on there, including the "all rights reserved". What do you do, and why? Are there advantages to opening this up to a bigger audience?
thanks for the feedback. I'm early in developing my public photography face and sorting through things that others may have learned of through experience.
Log out of your flickr account, then go back to the site and search your pics. You will be able to see the limitations of your settings. I post daily to my facebook page, and have an embedded link to my 365project on my website. Open the doors to the public only if you are comfortable. A lot of it will have to do with the people you shoot, and whether or not you can open that door completely. @ridley
@ridley michelle i have a flickr page too and my images are available for everyone. Obviously if you only want to restrict your images to friends and family, then they have to have a flickr account and you mark then as friends or family...a bit like only letting certain users on 365 view your images (although you cannot do that on 365).
Be careful when you upload your pics though to flickr, because if you upload a hig res file, then the high res file is available when someone 'views large, view all file sizes' ....and then they can right click the mouse and use the 'save image as' option to steal your picture. You can disable the save as option in your flickr settings....and I have done so on mine
It's a complicated world displaying your images online
@welcometocarolworld interesting thought re: the people I shoot and not something I had considered -- I generally only shoot people when I'm traveling (obviously something I should work on in this project), no children of my own.
@phil_howcroft I agree, it is complicated. and, thanks for the warning re: flickr and stealing photos -- that was something I was worried about. Is that the safety setting? I just made that "restricted"
