I have written about sharing Flickr photos with Creative Commons licenses before, but I am now in a situation to do this systematically and with a collection of images learners may find useful. We are spending a couple of weeks in southern Africa and a major goal is to photograph wildlife and other images that most don’t have the opportunity to view. No promises, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us and we hope to offer some interesting images.
Flickr offers multiple ways to designate who can view images (self, friends and family, public), but these designations are focused on who can view and not who can use. Flickr has added creative commons licensing to public images so photographers can offer various ways in which they will allow your images to be used.
I have added CC licenses to individual images before, but I intend to do so systematically on this trip. In addition to storing images in Flickr, it makes some sense to added information to such images to assist those who want to make use of what they locate. Location, image identification, and perhaps a link to additional information would seem useful and I will do this if I have the time and have the information.
