Flickr tags were created to categorize, search for photos and curate collections of images around particular events and topics. They also help other users discover your work and help you increase the engagement and views in your profile.

If you are ever wondering which are the most popular tags from photographers around the world on Flickr, here’s the top 5 trending tags for the week of November 28th, 2016. The list changes every week so be sure to regularly check out Flickr’s Trending page for the latest updates!

Blur

There is a place for movement in photography, a way to make scenes come alive, and these images illustrate it perfectly!

Leica

A good number of Flickr photographers are using Leica cameras for their street shots and documentary works, and for that reason, they have created multiple Flickr groups dedicated to sharing images, tips and information on different Leica models. Check out the Leica and Leica M Photography groups for more Leica photographs!

Decay

Another popular keyword on Flickr this week is “decay,” where abandoned buildings, crumbling infrastructure, and nature’s resurgence dominate the visual tag. We suggest you to take a look at one of the most popular urban decay photographers on Flickr, Thomas Mueller!

Frost

Winter is coming and our users are getting excited about it! So what are you waiting for? Tag those frosty landscape photos!

Macro Mondays

The Macro Mondays group tag made it to the top 5 again! This week the theme was “Beatles/Beetles” and the images of insects, Volkswagen cars and discs of the British rock group took over Flickr’s Explore page today.
