Yep, what he said ^ Click on a group you like the sound of. Then click on join group. A few groups will require approval by a moderator, but not many. Then groups also have their own discussion areas etc. It’s all good fun and interesting, and will get your pictures seen!
As for tagging, I know it might sound a bit messy, but I just tag photos in a set with all the same tags. You can add tags in batches too, if you don’t mind that some might not be exactly spot on.
As an example, many of my Duxford photos share the same tags. Things like “Duxford, Airfield, Cambridge, Aircraft, Vintage, Warbirds, Spitfire, Hurricane, Historic…” etc etc. Not all of the photos necessarily contain those specific items, but people searching for those things will almost certainly be interested in relevant photos, so in my mind, it doesn’t hurt to batch tag a group of similar photos. I hope i’ve described that clearly. On the other hand, you may be quite tidy and fussy and want only exact tags on your photos. I just know it saves a lot of time the way I do it.
p.s. I really enjoyed your photos 🙂
p.p.s If you’re into historical London, I was absolutely mesmerised by a book I looked at recently called ‘Lost London’. I literally sat in Waterstones for an hour+ just breezing through it. Cannot recommend enough.
Another one I just purchased, is a photographic memory of Brighton/Hove. Again full of fascinating photos from the late 19th century to late 20th century, if you’re interested in historical British seaside resorts I recommend it. I’m really loving it so far.
