Sharing Photos

There are loads of places to share photos on the web, so rather than make yet another one, we've set up this site to link to any of them. Just put your pictures on your favourite photo sharing website and post a link to them on our Work Week Forums.

If you're new to photo sharing, here's how it works:

  1. Find yourself a photo sharing site that's free and easy to use. One that works for me is photobucket and flicr is very popular too.
  2. Register on the photo site, create an album (or set, the words vary from site to site) and upload your pictures.
To post a link on this website to your photo album:
  1. Go to the Work Weeks Forum, then go the right Year Work Weeks forum for your work week.
  2. If there's already a topic about your week, open it and click POSTREPLY, if not, click NEWTOPIC. If this is your first post, you have to register, otherwise just login.
  3. If yours is the first post about your week, put the work week place and start date in the Subject (e.g. Skye 19th April 2008) so people can find it.
  4. Type your message and include a link your album. The link should look like
    [url]http://my.photo.site/my-album[/url]
    In fact you can click on the URL button to get the [url][/url] bit, then if you have your album open in another browser window, you can copy its web address from the browser Address bar and paste it in between [url] and [/url].
  5. Now click SUBMIT and the job's done.
If the other people on your work week aren't already using this site, send them an email and tell them to come and admire your photos.

Mapping Photos

If you want to know what anywhere in the UK looks like, go to geograph. It's a website with photos of almost every 1km square in the country. Even better, you can add your own landscape photos for everyone to see. Even more better, we can link any of the TFL map places to their geograph photos.

Want to know what Corrimony looks like? Click on Corrimony on our map then in the information pop up click on Photos at geograph.

Got some good photos to show what Corrimony looks like? Post them at geograph then other TFL Volunteers and the whole world can see them.
