Flickr Groups

 

I've been on and off of Flickr for over ten years. I initially joined before it was owned by Yahoo which was before it was owned by SmugMug. I made some really lovely photographer friends and learned much from peers and spending time in the many groups they provided. The Flickr groups were the 'thing' back then as they were a new to the internet and it was a way for like minds to come together and share not only photography but experience, technique, wins and misses. 

Flickr groups are not what they once were at all, but they are still a lovely place for those like minds to come together and share their work. Discussions have ceased to exist for the most part in groups [in my experience] but people still love to include their images in collections of good company. I moderate two such groups; Natural Horses and Lovely Dead Crap. The beautiful photo above was shot by a nature photographer in Scotland, Captures.In.Time, and is included in our beautiful group of Natural Horses.
