I got an e-mail with links to some great pictures on flickr. These are direct links to the pictures, and I want to see more pictures taken by this person. Is there a way to find the account from the picture URLs?
Rejected slogan #235:
The 133527964 part of the URL is the Flickr picture ID.
However, the full Flickr picture URL is http://flickr.com/username/picture-id, so so the picture ID is not enough if you don't know the username.
Luckily, googling for the picture ID on the flickr site is likely to point you to the right direction.
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aflickr.com+133527964
In this case, it returns two links, and one of them is the picture you're looking for:
http://flickr.com/photos/carradine65/133527964/
Enjoy
Very easy:
Enter http://www.flickr.com/ , then paste the name use by the person who took the picture and you get all the photos that exist in the site from the same person.
Here is an example with a person named jonholato
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonholato/
Thanks, but I'm afraid I wasn't clear: I don't have the username, all I have is links to a few pictures. I'm trying to find a way in the opposite direction: from the pictures to the username.
If you have the URL then press on it. When you get to the flickr site you will see the user name , and you will be able to see all his posted answers.
I really appreciate your efforts, yoavdothan. But it's a link to a picture, not a page with a username. Here's an example:

Very good example of how finding the photo mentioned by Dinosaur Jr.
The link leads (of course...) to "Dinosaur Jr. at the Troubador in Los Angeles on April 22, 2006"
http://www.flickr.com/photos/carradine65/
will lead you to his 1775 photos (as of 31.10.06)
