For assignment 6, I wanted to continue in my passion for all things aviation, so I decided to create a gallery of pictures related to flying. I found this assignment to be a little exciting, since I have had a desire to do a little amateur photography. I took this opportunity to browse pictures in which I would have taken. To me flying is about more than just the aircraft itself, it is the ability to live in another dimension; the freedom to see the world in a different way.
I wanted to search for photos of different types of aircraft, so I searched using the terms like balloon, hot air balloon, blimp, jet aircraft, helicopter, and glider. I also searched using action words like flying, soaring, and gliding. All terms provided great images; however, the action words provided a greater range of images, many of which were not related to the type of image I was in search of. I had better results using the proper name of the object I was looking for, rather than the action.
Having been the first time I had really used Flickr, I must say that I was impressed. I enjoyed searching for the images and creating the gallery. I love being able to share images with others and to be honest, it has inspired me to pick up my camera and start shooting. I hope to upload my own images soon, so that I can utilize the tagging feature. The neatest thing I found was within minutes of creating the gallery, someone had already viewed it.
My gallery on Flickr is titled "Flying!", so check it out.
