Hello all, it's been a while and I've definitely been posting more sporadically lately. I just came back from a trip to HK. Although I had wifi, it's not easy to copy and paste the Flickr links from the official app.
I'm not sure why this photo is more popular of the two panoramas I took from this spot, as I think the other one is more interesting, but it's Flickr.
Some great bird shots folks................can't follow the theme but here's a recent view from Brantome, Dordogne, France......last throws of colour from the Spring tulips. D810 & 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G @ 26mm 1/200s @ f/4.2 ISO 64.
So refreshing to see most people really trying to create images here (even though sadly there are still some who dig up shots from 2012 and earlier) - the last four are very good efforts IMHO
Cameras, lenses and stuff. (I actually met someone once who had touched a real Leica lens cloth.)

Nothing wrong with older shots, sometimes the weather is so crappy you don't feel inspired to do any photography.
Not a great bird shot by all means, but wow, to find one of these swiftlets stopped is a difficult task.
I have to agree @Ian_G to a degree. @NSXTypeR I agree that posting an older image on occasion is OK but reposting the same image multiple times, I am not sure if I see the value in doing that for the POD. I enjoy seeing post from @jimo , @Rx4Photo and others that are posting current images. It is a good technique to grow your skills and try different genre's if you get in a routine of taking photos every day and not reliving successful images from the past. Just my 2 cents.
