Sets
Flickr "sets" are groups of photos arranged in a "set" or album.  Each set can be viewed in a variety of ways.  When the set is initially opened, it is presented as shown below:

Set Overview Page


Once the set is opened, click on the left most image to view it using the Set browse page as shown below:

Set Browse Page


To the right of the picture, you will see a browse box.  In this example, it is labeled as "Janet Shoots Queens (Set)".   Click on the right or left images to move backwards or forwards though the set. Click on "browse" to return to the set overview.  In the example above, since you are viewing the first photo of the set, there are no previous images to select.  This should be enough information to get you going.

If  you click on "Ken Lenger's photos" as shown above, you will be presented with my photo stream page as shown below.  The photo steam is the sequence of all photos (over 2000 at present) that I have uploaded to flickr, from newest to oldest.  Note that the photos shown in the current photo stream may not be of any significant interest to you, so it is best to view pictures of intest by looking at the sets.

Photostream Page


Another way to see pictures of interest to you is to view them by "tags".  Tags are like keywords or labels that you can be added to a photo to make it easier to find later.  If you are looking for pictures of Daniel, you can just click on "Daniel" tag to view all photos that have been tagged as such, even if they are in different sets.  From my photo stream page, click on "Tags" to see a list of the tags I have used as shown in the example below.
