Good luck

As a follow up, you can get different sizes of each picture for posting by changing the letter at the end of the direct image URL. For example, "https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53377394179_d9e51c1a9d_b.jpg" gives you a 1024 px on the longest edge:


while "https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53377394179_d9e51c1a9d_z.jpg" gives you a 640 px on the longest edge:


Also, if someone posts a picture from Flickr without linking to the source, you can sometimes find it by adding the photoID to the end of "http://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=".

It doesn't really matter if you do not erase the rest, it adds a link to the photo on Flickr and includes your (Flickr) name as the 'source' of the image. It is always good to be able to trace a photo to a photographer.

I don't quite understand this one, anyone clicking on the photo will at most see your Flickr profile, you can set what is displayed in that by going to 'Account' - 'Settings' - 'Privacy & Permissions'. In my case, only people following me on Flickr can see my e-mail address, but I can set this to be more restrictive if I wanted to. This is NOT linked to you being logged in or not. The default setting for this is 'Nobody', so without doing anything special, your e-mail address is hidden from view for others.

All helpful advise for everyone wanting to add photos to this forum.

Erasing up to (img) cleans up any information that can sit between photos and I believe is not needed by cleaning it up, just a personal thing by myself that does not affect the photo on display and gives a clean image. But by all means if others want to go down that road
it's their choice, just not mine as I am not a professional on the subject.
As I believe there is no need to trace back to the photographer in my case as copyright would not be involved on my photos as they are mainly personal. Only possibly Authors and Commercial Researchers would need the information on a photographer if used elsewhere. In this day and age privacy is my number one personal want and only give it if need be. But that does not mean it stops others for going down that route.

The first time as a novice, I was warned by another person in this forum that they could see my email address and on looking at it I had to log off to erase it. You explanation by going to 'account'-'setting'-privacy & permissions may have fixed my problem, but as I am used to logging off before submitting photos then it's a personal move on my part as I do not use that site a lot and your explanation may help others that are the new novices.
If it isn't broken, then why fix it.

Thanks for the tips, will work on it this weekend.

Thanks for the clarification Dade, makes sense. I have a slightlty different view on copyright, having to make sure that all images I use online are either mine, or that I have the copyright holder's permission to use them. It is good that you don't mind people using your photos, it does actually make life a lot simpler.

I just remembered something else just now. If you keep all the added bits from Flickr around the image, you get this:

As opposed to this:


On some forums, the number of links you can use in a post is restricted. It doesn't work like this on WIX (fortunately), but that may be another reason to strip the extraneous links from around the image. There are three: one in the image itself, one in the filename and one in the photographers name.

The confusion about the e-mail being visible on Flickr may be due to the fact that, while logged in, you can see your own e-mail address in the profile. As I mentioned, the privacy settings deal with that already. That doesn't change the fact that logging out of a site after use is a good habit!

Thank you for your reply Archer. The photos I posted were taken after driving 15mins North from my home on the freeway for the Hornet that is now displayed at our museum in Perth. It was one of two of the first Hornets flown over too Australia. As it was a trial aircraft with ARDU, Australian Research and Development Unit, it possibly dropped more bombs and fired more missiles than the other Hornets. This aircraft remains part of the R.A.A.F. ownership due to the contract obligations between the U.S.A. and Australia as probably Congress has the last right on who we give American Defence items too. Unlike the Panavia Tornado which is ours.
The other two photos were taken 45mins South on the freeway at Serpentine Airfield a private one for home aircraft builders. The Focke Wulf FW 44 Stieglitz and the I think Spanish version of the Bucker Jungmann is owned by the same person who has another Jungmann and Sopwith Pup Biplane.
Sorry got my single and two seat Bucker mixed up.
