Here are images of Flickr members getting together for photowalks, photocamps, and meetups. Followed by images that were the result of meetups.

Getting together with other photographers for a day of shooting can be fun and enlightening (that is not a Strobist pun). On the left of the Flickr Blog you can always check to see if there are any get togethers in your area. If you don’t see one near you, set one up!

Have fun! :)

Why hello Snapfish!

We’ve always wanted to extend printing services to more of our members around the world and today we’re happy to do just that, just in time for the holidays! Please welcome Snapfish as our go to partner for all your printing needs. Now, all Flickr members can create photo prints, books, collages, calendars and more and get them shipped to most anywhere in the world. We’re thrilled that Snapfish has direct local facilities in 22 countries for fast, simple and affordable printing.

To get started with Snapfish you can use the “Order Prints” button above any of your photos or sets.

There’s also a new Print & Create section in the Organizr where you can batch select multiple photos to do more and create cards, calendars, books, photo collages or canvas prints.

After choosing photos on Flickr you’ll be transferred to Snapfish where you can customize and finish your creation.

For more info on printing check out our FAQs. The Snapfish folks have created a group on Flickr where you can share photos of your Snapfish creations and ask questions, share answers, ideas and information.

Private travel into foreign countries can be requested without conditions […]. Permission will be granted instantly. Permanent relocations can be done through all border checkpoints between the GDR into the FRG or Berlin (West).
— Günter Schabowski, November 9th, 1989

These were the words – broadcasted live on TV – after which the German reunification took it’s course. People in East Berlin moved to the border crossings and demanded immediate opening. Finally, the border guards gave in and a new era began that culminated in the reunification of Germany.

The Flickr Collection on Getty Images has been growing and growing since it launched back in March – with a princely figure of nearly 60,000 images in the collection so far. It’s no secret that there are billions of amazing photographs on Flickr, so it made perfect sense for us to find an easy way for members to suggest their own photos to be considered for the Flickr Collection on Getty Images.

Starting today you can submit a portfolio of 10 images to the Getty Images Call for Artists group, giving you an opportunity to showcase your best shots directly to the editors at Getty Images. The Getty Images creative team will regularly review the photos in the group pool, looking out for images they feel are marketable based on their industry expertise, and inviting new photographers to join the collection.

So, if you think your photos rock and are interested in being considered for the collection, join the Getty Images Call for Artists group and follow the submission guidelines or check out our updated FAQs.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, we’d like to invite you to take part in writing our virtual history book.

We’ve created the Experience History: Berlin 1961-1989 group, to give members the opportunity to share photographic memories of divided Berlin during this period. If you were living or visiting Berlin at that time, this is a wonderful excuse to rediscover your old slides and dust off those photo-filled shoe boxes that are lurking under your bed.

There are already some interesting images and stories emerging in the group and we’re hoping the over the next few weeks it will become a beautiful public repository of photographs and viewpoints for the world to see.

Ready for a time travelling adventure? Just head over and join the Experience History: Berlin 1961-1989 group to start sharing or simply soak up the history.
