From the lens Using Creative Commons Images from Flickr.

Isn't it great when everyone shares and shares alike?

    Great lens thank you for sharing.I use flickr everyday and use Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons for all my pictures.The ones that are company related or for my dogs are all watermarked so all works great,

    Very helpful information for explaining the proper use of CC images from Flickr.
  • OldStones Mar 30, 2012 @ 6:55 pm | delete
    Great information. I was curious about the code Flickr supplies to share images. When you use this code the image links to the original owners image and also if you mouse over the image it gives the owners name and license info. Is this adequate attribution?
  • srsddn Mar 30, 2012 @ 10:23 am | delete
    Thanks for this lens. It clarifies many doubts and helpful in using Flickr without any doubts.

    Thanks for the great info its great.
  • sockii Mar 13, 2012 @ 12:38 pm | delete
    This is a very useful lens and I appreciate you making this information clear for those who could be confused. But there is one point I'd love some clarification on if possible. I have always seen use of an image on Squidoo as "Commercial" in nature, as we are making $'s from the lens via ranking and/or sales (either for ourselves or for a charity.) Therefore I have never used a CC image on a Squidoo lens if the CC license did not specify that it was ok for commercial use. As you started above, non-commercial = "you're not selling the image or using it to sell something". Aren't we selling something when we use an image on Squidoo? I guess I remain confused about Squidoo policy on this point and would love a clarification if possible!

    I'm using CC images from Flickr for all of my lenses. I almost find every relevant picture I need from that place. Thanks for sharing this.

    Thanks! Think I will need to keep coming back to this lens (bookmarked).
    I've just started out on squidoo and like PamelaU's comment below, I'm struggling with correct use of images and now trying to make my own. This helps.

    Very useful. a little confusing, I'll be referring back to this lens.
  • chicandsavvy Mar 9, 2012 @ 5:53 pm | delete
    Okay, bookmarking your lens because it helps. But, seriously, really stinks that it's getting so complicated to use my own artwork on my own lenses. I just do this for fun and donate to charity, and I'm behind a week on bootcamp. Can you sense the frustration? Politics is ruining the internet for people who just want to have fun.

  • PamelaU Mar 8, 2012 @ 11:55 am | delete
    This info is really helpful. One of the things discouraging me from completing my second lens is sourcing images, and you've cleared a few things up for me. Thanks a lot!

  • Angelgirl1976 Mar 6, 2012 @ 10:04 am | delete
    I have read this twice now, the information is very useful. I suppose I use it as a kind of reference. I do find all this a little overwhelming but not all in a bad way I just take a little longer to get things on a level of understanding in my head if you know what I mean lol :) especially when it is new to me and I have never come across it before. But I love to learn new things, it makes life fun :)
  • MarionElodie Mar 2, 2012 @ 5:14 pm | delete
    Thank you for this useful lens. I have never used pictures from Flickr as it was indeed quite confusing, but I'll consider it in the future, it's a great resource to find beautiful images.

    I'm a little unclear about the aspect of giving credit to the owner of a Creative Commons licensed image without implying that the individual endorses my use of the image. In what ways could my use of an image imply endorsement by the owner? Is it necessary to ask the image owner for permission to use an image that is already designated as having a Creative Commons license?
  • EdwardJames81 Jan 28, 2012 @ 11:53 am | delete

    Thanks for the info. After reading this post, I decided to delete the earlier photos that were downloaded from flickr (but had the license to copy etc) just in case it hasn't fully complied with the above. I instead went through the CC website for the photos. I just joined 4days ago, so need to do it right!

    I read somewhere else (I think WikiMedia Commons??) to do the attribution like this:

    e.g. Photo | jimmiehomeschoolmom | Flickr.

    Is this correct too? Or is ONLY the above suggested attribution correct, assuming the artist doesn't specify? And why?

    First is this article up to date? So lets say it is. I would like to know following. If i embed flicker picture to my blog it will automatically link back to that photo or also can be if i link this photo back to the flicker photo page.. So should I write below that "Photo used under Creative Commons from ------" or its enough that clicking on photo will lead to the owners photo page.

    I personally have no problem with people using my material - period. It is great to share - you're so right! It's great as you've pointed out, to have so many controls, but often these are bypassed via many methods - so at this stage, I'm going to ask a valid question: If we are prepared to put our photos up - we must be prepared for them to become public domain? I do love your recommendations for rule-keeping when using the photos of others though - thank you.

    Nice explanations for what can be a confusing topic. All of my thousands of Flickr photos are free to use if anyone is interested. Click through to my profile to find links to them.

    Great lens, problem is how do I upload a photo from the flickr module to the text/write module?
  • SquidooKimberly Apr 30, 2010 @ 9:56 am | delete
    Benaidoo, you can download them to your computer and upload them to the modules that pull images directly to your computer. Then just label them appropriately. Easy! :)

    Thank you for this .. up until now I've hesitated to use images on Flickr as I wasn't sure what all of the definitions meant.

    Very useful -- I do have some CC pictures on Blogger, but not on Squidoo, as it is not as easy to link back. This should be helpful.

    It must be one of those days.
    It still as clear as mud to me. Good lens, but I don't think I had a coffee.
    I will have to try Flicker myself.
    I used another module for photo's which I thought was better.
    Love to hear what others think of my BOOK lens. Its not going as well
    as I had hoped.
    Cheers from DOWNUNDER
  • bygproductions Oct 20, 2009 @ 5:45 pm | delete
    Thanks this was very helpful. Found it on flicker on my own last night, but wasn't sure about the different uses. Still a little confused, but I'm sure once I use it a few times along with this lens it will all be clear and make looking for pictures much quicker.

    One somewhat tricky question is what constitutes "commercial" vs. "non-commercial" use. Creative Commons announced in 2008 that it was launching a research study of this issue, but I don't know if the study has been completed (or if so, what the study results were).

    CandisLynn, once a license is changed it takes time for the change to filter through Flickr's API so it can be applied. It should work in a day or two.

    Thanks so much for clearing all that up! Question for you: I am making a lens for a recent family brunch we had and I'm trying to add my Flickr photos to it via the Flickr module. I just applied the Attribution license to all my photos but it's still not allowing me to add them. Any ideas? Thanks!

    great lens - so useful. i have a set of cc photos on flickr, and the licenses can get a bit confusing for some. i will definitely point them to this lens for clarity.
    also, a great tool for searching cc photos on flickr is compfight.com - you can even specify commercial use or not.

    Being new to this whole process, I really appreciate the clarification on how to properly use the flickr pics. Please explain how you loaded the pictures on this page (how I can load them on my pages) so they link back to the person who posted them. This is great. I am all about giving credit where credit is due!!!

    A really useful page which clarifies this tricky subject. Flickr is such a great resource for photos and most people are very happy to have you use their photos with a credit.
  • kab Oct 27, 2008 @ 11:09 am | delete
    This is a page everyone using a flickr module should have to read! People on flickr don't always understand all this either, and some freak out even if you are using it properly, and people's definitions of "commercial use" vs "non-commercial use" are not always the same.
