Trying to work out what best to do with the photos I took during #CrossBorderRail

I want to make the good ones, and the useful ones, available for free for people to use

But how best to do this?

Questions posed in the 🧵, feedback needed!

First the easy bit, I think: I want to license the photos using CC BY-SA 4.0 - I am happy for anyone to use and re-use the images, for free, providing credit is given - and that license does that

creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa…

But where do I put the images?

Putting *some* on Wikimedia Commons would make sense, but probably not all of them - see “Is it suitable here?”
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:C…

Let’s take 3 example photos I took in Spain

The Canfranc drone photo - it’s a pretty good photo, but there is a drone photo of the station already on the Wikipedia page in Spanish about the station es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estaci%C3…

Does Wikimedia Commons need another one?

The train in the station is a Renfe Series 594 - here too there is a picture of that sort of train on the Wikipedia page about the series already es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serie_594… - so once more, does it make sense for me to add a further one?

The overhead shot of the turntable… is a nice shot of the Canfranc turntable. But it’s more a generic / stock photo type of pic. And there are *loads* of pictures of turntables on Wikimedia Commons, and Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_t…

So in all these cases are the pictures relevant *enough* for Wikimedia Commons? Or perhaps 1 or 2 are? Do I just shove them all there, and let the community decide?

Or do I put all the pics elsewhere (Flickr?) Because then I don’t need to ask these questions?
