How to Download All Your Flickr Photos
Already got mine … trying to decide where to put it.
@JohnPhilpin The second part is where I'm coming up short. I don't want to store it with Google or Amazon. I may just end up staying with Flickr. Been with them since 2005.
@pratik I was never a big Flickr user so don’t have a large library - that said David Merfield is looking at a blot import ... couple that with a photo gallery based template and might be cool ?
@JohnPhilpin I’ve more than 7000 photos that are basically curated ones from my overall collection. They’re nicely organized into albums and tagged. I quite like Flickr’s geofences privacy feature.
@pratik yup ... that’s not me ;-) sounds like easier to ‘pro up’ where you are ..... I will let you know when we sort Flickr import to blot ... so you can at least try it.
@JohnPhilpin This kind of thing surprises me slightly. Barring having had a disaster, do you have photos on Flickr that you don’t have on your computer, phone, iCloud, or wherever?
What I want to know is how to easily delete most of the 26,000(!!!!) photos that I somehow have on there. Nearly all private, any that aren’t are CC-licensed. But I feel I should clear things down and start again at this point.
@devilgate yes - you are right of course - but my count is in the hundreds and I am interested in posting them into a space as they are - since they represent something that at the original point in time were important enough to post ... if that makes sense ... in other words they become part of my chronological trail.
@JohnPhilpin That makes a lot of sense, actually. I never used Flickr in a very structured way, but somewhere along the line I set up automatic upload options, hence the 26,000 private photos. It was just another backup. But now that they’re refocusing I might start to use it as it was intended.
On the other hand, “own your own content” would suggest that I should prefer my own site, which is always an option.
