FLICKR: Great App for Photographers and Bloggers

.



.
With an average of 10 - 20 MB of new images that I shoot per day, over the years my computer space will be not sufficient to carry them all.  What better solution than to store it "in the clouds" via Flickr.
.
Flickr, the photo-hosting platform owned by Yahoo, turned 10 years old.  They focused on user photos before most people started carrying around high-quality cameras everywhere they went, and it offered free cloud storage before services were even invented.  Flickr users upload a million photos each day, and over the past year, the service has been busy. 
Last year Flickr started offering users 1 TB of free storage, and was adding more features, including larger storage, filters and photo books.

App for iPads
Photo-sharing platform Flickr rolled out an update, adding an iPad application that is iOS 8 and iPad Air 2 ready. Now Apple's tablets are becoming more and more photo-friendly , iPad  photographers just received another tool from Flickr.
However, the app isn't just for browsing and storing photos; it's also equipped with an in-app camera that can capture photos and videos on-the-go.  What's more: it includes Flickr's advanced editing tools, so photographers can directly  adjust without leaving the app.
The update comes on the heels of Apple's iPad Air 2 launch.  The company's latest flagship tablet is equipped with its best camera to date, a feature will likely produce more iPad photographers.
Flickr's new iOS 8-only app also takes advantage of the operating system's sharing extension, which makes it easier to share photos between Flickr and third-party apps. It also includes a new unified search and the ability to edit photo details.
