Finding an image

University of Otago Photographer Image Gallery

Option 1: Browse

Set the order to either 'date uploaded' or 'date taken' and scroll through the images in the photostream. If you're unsure how to download full resolution images, search 'help' in the photostream and you'll find an image containing further instructions and terms of use.

Option 2: Search

Enter a keyword or phrase into the search bar at the top right of the page. The top row of results will be a limited selection of photos from the University photostream that match your search criteria. Click 'View all' to see all available photos that match your search criteria.

Ignore the results that appear below the top row. These are images from the wider Flickr community and shouldn't be used for University purposes.

Downloading an image

Click on the desired image so it appears in full screen. Refer to the comment area below the image and any watermarks to determine if the image can be used for your purposes. If OK, use the download arrow (bottom right) and select the desired size to download to your computer.

Important: After downloading an image, leave a comment in the comment box indicating where you intend to use the photo. This will help ensure images are not overused.
