Snapshot Serengeti Talk

Collections - add interesting collections here

  • tirralirra by tirralirra

    This would be a good place to note some of the collections we've come across. For example -

    Heronimus has a collection of 346 BIRD images here -
    http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/collections/CSGL00000h

    I have a collection of interesting SKIES here -
    http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/collections/CSGS0000ig

    Someone has a collection of the lion/zebra kill over several days. I wonder where that is?

    @tirralirra - if you move your mouse cursor over your post, you'll see a couple of links appear in the top right area of the post - Edit, and Remove. Not sure when those were added to functionality here, but I noticed them just the other day. 😃 Thank you for trying to repost my collections in this thread though! Heheh!

    @AowlanCrystal I don't think you've done anything wrong with making collections from tag groups. I think that functionality doesn't work quite yet. My collections from tag groups aren't working either.

    Tag groups only seem to be useful when a single hashtag is used. If more than one is used, searches will attempt to find matches that contain all the hashtags, rather than just any one of the hashtags.

    Several people have collections based on the #bird tag. So one tag seems to work OK.

    @tirralirra. Tag collections will also work with more than one tag, it's just that all the tags have to match. So a tag collection based on [#buffalo #bird] or [#lion #young] will work, because there are at least some objects that have comments containing both hashtags.

    That figures why my tag collections don't work, too many words, I'd expected it to be able to collect anything with 'any' of, rather than 'all' of the hashtags I'd added, simply because you got the option to add as many as you wanted. Thanks for everyones answers.

    I just double-checked with the developers. Sure enough, when you use multiple tags, Talk interprets that to mean "all of" the hashtags, rather than "any."

    Here's a small collection I created, showing a sequence over a few hours of an elephant family chilling out for a bit, with various juvenile members of the family stretching out for a nap right in front of the camera. 😃 A couple of people had asked if the baby elephant was dead, seeing a photo of it lying there, so I tracked down some more images from around the same time to see if I could see what was going on, and rather than a tragedy, found a sweet family sequence:

    I kept running into some pretty funny pictures of animals scratching themselves, so decided to start collecting them. If anyone runs into others, feel free to message me and I'll add them to the collection.

    I hash-tagged some as 'Scratching' you might be able to find them under that hashtag.

    In case anyone else comes across him, especially with the new season pics out, I started a collection of "Sam" pics: CSGS000894 (look for the short left horn and almost completely chopped off right horn, plus the bulge on the right neck, assuming he is still going)

    I also made a collection from a particular camera showing a series of elephant visits in February & March 2013: CSGS0007gu (I still think of it as the 'elephant cam' whenever I come across it)

    Since the talk is on 'collections', I have found three collections that are identical, why?

    CSGL000062
    CSGL00007m
    CSGL00003z

    Stay cool

  • maricksu by maricksu moderator in response to WEBs_in_space's comment.

    Yes, there are some identical collections about different animals. When creating collection, it is possible (if want to) to include hashtag into it.
    These collections include hashtag warthog. It means that every time someone posts and tags warthog in Talk, that image will automatically go to that collection. So it is normal on ok that there are also identical collections.

    These collections are very helpful to everybody, e.g. if want to see quickly many images of certain animal species to compare. (Of course only if correct animals have been tagged) 😃

    Here are some odd collections of mine.
    The first four are meant to help people learn how to ID animals from a small part of the body.
    The oxpeckers interest me as a birder - what animals do they choose to roost on at night?
    The portraits are just pretty portraits of any animals.

    CSGS000cy5 - Noses

    CSGS000d3p - Ears

    Here 2 collections, where I have collected images from one camera view. Many of us have called this place unofficially "Dik-dik Corner", because it belongs to a territory of a resident Dik-dik pair, and we are lucky to see them here quite often. Personally love to follow their life and watch their activities. They are active both day and night. This place is also very much favoured by many other interesting animals. 😃
