Image Buckets
Published: 9 November 2009
Contents
The idea behind buckets is they will allow more dynamic filtering of search results - to narrow down the results to particular types of image. Similarly to exclude (for example to exclude closeup shots).
This filtering process is not currently implemented directly.
Can get a preview of images in buckets. More features to be added.
----
For your own images, you can also assign buckets directly from the 'tagging box' when submitting, or editing an image.
It is important to note any given photo can be in one or many buckets. But also that many images won't be in any buckets.
Guidelines for what the various buckets means, and the types of images that should be found inside.
Composition
Closeup

CloseCrop
(was called Telephoto - but changed, because easily confused with the photographic term)
A photo of a flower could be "Closeup", but its only "CloseCrop" too, if closely cropped to the flower itself.
Wideangle


Landscape
A vista with no real defined subject, covers views and looking 'out' from somewhere. (to be clear this is not about the orientation, ie landscape/portrait')
A "landscape" photo will quite often be a Wideangle too, but its perfectly valid to not be wideangle.
Attributes
(in general these wont be allocated by the photographer themselves, but added by the community)Arty
An artistic or 'photographic' photo.Informative
Shows unusual or interesting information.
Where taken
Aerial
Taken from off the ground.
Indoor

Subterranean
Taken underground - caves/mines etc.In Time
Gone
The subject has now gone. You can't see this anymore by going to the location.- With the intention that images will be added to this bucket when it's known the subject has now gone.
(Note: This bucket has been renamed from 'Historic' which was easily confused with the Geographical Context of similar name)
Temporary
