If you have an interest in photography, be it taking photo's or love viewing peoples digital works of art, take a look at: Aberystwyth Online Photography Flickr Group or Wales Online Photography Group where uses view and comment on each others digital photography.

Flickr is a great way of displaying your photo's to either friends, family or for the whole world to see, depending on what settings you have selected. Each photo can be given an individual title, description, tag or tags, also geotaged so others can see where the picture was taken using a digital map, such as Google Maps.

The software behind Flickr also tells you some useful information such as:

• Taken in Ogmore-by-Sea, Wales (map) [Example of Geotaging]
  
• Taken with a Canon EOS 40D.
• Taken on January 29, 2009
• 1 person calls this photo a favorite
• Viewed 27 times

It's very much community based with regular meet ups around Wales, were you can experiment and share ideas on digital photography.
