Thing #9 Flickr



Wow! Over the last two days I have discovered a gold mine in Flickr. Before Thing #9, I found photos online through a Google Image search or used my own image (of which I have thousands). I even opened my own Flickr account and uploaded some of my own photos.

What I learned from Flickr is that there are thousands of photos on the web that can be used under CC. Some of them are similar to mine, some are better. I also picked up some photography tips.

The photograph I chose was taken by markiteightdude in Colorado. To me, this photograph represents the class - 23 Things. From a distance the Internet is colorful, unique, and intriguing as in the picture of the tree with red on it. As you get closer, you find thousands of individual, interesting, and different items as you would upon taking a macro view of the tree and finding a multitude of tiny ladybugs.
