dear Flickr, we have some really good, caring communities here -- please, please don't mess that up! I have adjusted to the previous changes even though I still do not like them like the old flickr. Please don't make things even harder to use!
With descriptions curtailed and comments effectively hidden most of my stuff is going to be pretty pointless being posted here.
In the run up to the anniversary of the out-break of WW1, I was particularly looking to give the individuals on Norfolk War Memorials something more than just a name by telling a bit more of their life stories.
I've flounced from Flickr before when they made changes, was miserable for a couple of months that I couldn't find anything better and then came back when I discovered they had quietly undone many of the bad changes - well apart from having titles under pictures that is:-0.
When the changes were made earlier this year I was hoping something similar might happen but it looks like its going to get worse.
BTW Flickr, my tech-savvy kids with Windows 8, newer computers and ipads and softphones occasionally end up on Flickr from an internet search, say this is c**p as they have the typical attention span of their generation, and scoot of somewhere else.
Its not just us old foggies on XP who are hacked off :-)
****This frame was chosen on March 26th 2013 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE(Highest Ranking: # 355) . Explore is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful.

Photograph taken at 10:57am on Saturday 9th March 2013 off the A5 and A4086 at Llynnau Mymbyr (also known as the Capel Curig lakes), two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales.
This is actually a single lake originally called Llyn Mymbyr, with a maximum depth of 30 feet and three quarters of a mile in length with a delta that has built up midway along the north shore, hence the plural name. The river feeding the lakes is the Nantygwryd (or Nant-y-gwryd), which has its source at Llyn Cwm-y-ffynnon, also marked on maps as the Nant Gwryd, which is a tributary of the Afon Llugwy. The two rivers join at Capel Curig.

Dear flickr friends, instead of enjoying christmas time a nightmare has come true. It seems flickr brings some trouble to us again!
Here's the link you'll get more information in German and English:

Please join in the protest against the new layout of flickr.com!
Journée de PROTESTATION contre le futur changement ( BETA )....encore un ;(
TROP C' EST TROP
Sign the petition

*cette Beta Page n'a été disponible que pour les' utilisateurs de la version anglaise de Flickr
Je précise donc pour tous ceux qui ne l'ont pas vue que la Beta page ne comporte plus de zone blanche sous les photos pour les descriptions / commentaires / invitations / flickr Award Counter..
Seulement une étroite barre latérale à droite de la photo ne montrant que les 4 derniers commentaires
Typographie blanche sur un fond noir et funèbre qui blesse les yeux
Aucun sens .
Difficile d'écrire un commentaire de plus de 2 ou 3 mots
Nous ne pouvons pas voir qui a mis en favoris
Nous ne pouvons pas voir dans quels groupes les images apparaissent ( à l'exception de 8 )
Les images des Awards ne sont pas affichées dans les commentaires ; ce qui veut dire que ni les membres ni les admins ne peuvent contrôler
Les invitations n'apparaissent pas ( les plus récentes sont visibles SEULEMENT dans " Dernière Activité ') Les plus anciennes sont perdues
Les invitations sont essentielles au fonctionnement des groupes ( beaucoup sont sur invitation seulement )
Pour les admins la gestion des groupes va devenir une tâche de plus en plus difficile sinon impossible
Des groupes risquent de fermer et ils donnent de la visibilité à nos images
Nos descriptions incluant des citations ou des liens vers YouTube et autres sites sont masquées
PLUS AUCUNE convivialité / visibilité / AUCUN SENS
En fait cette disposition est conçue avant tout pour les tablettes ou smartphones
_Retour des utilisateurs
Malheureusement tout ce que nous pouvons faire semble inutile ....
Yahoo et Flickr s'en fichent
Malheureusement il est évident que Yahoo veut faire de Flickr un autre réseau social pour les personnes (essentiellement ados et "djeunes" ) utilisant seulement des tablettes et autres smartphones et dont la seule interaction est Hi ou LoL
Les photographes motivés utilisant encore des ordinateurs (avec des logiciels d'édition) et de grands écrans ne sont plus des clients souhaitables
( Ni les groupes puisque nos invitations ne sont plus visibles que dans "dernière Activité" ....Les plus anciennes sont perdues et tout est fait pour entraver leur bon fonctionnement )
La publicité est infiniment plus lucrative que nos comptes-Pro
Combien de personnes savent ce que représente cette Beta Page ??? Je me le demande ?
Seulement les utilisateurs de la version anglaise ....
Les utilisateurs de toute autre langue n'ont pas été informés ; étonnant non???
A partir de maintenant c'est nouveau , tout le monde peut tester la Beta Page en choisissant "English" en bas de la page Flickr
Essayez !!!!
Tout ceci est très décourageant
The new Flickr interface is about to destroy the user experience, so I`am joining this protest to show, that the new interface isn´t either useful nor wanted.
Feel free to copy this image and post it yourself.
where it all started...
had to decide if i was going to renew my subscription today.
it's been six years since i bought my first camera and joined flickr.
my original intent was just to use flickr as a database tool to keep track of my pics.
at the time, i had no idea what affect clicking on the "join now" button would have on my world.
to my surprise, people actually took interest in my crappy shots.
their kind words of encouragement motivated me to take even more crappy shots.
then one day, i attended my first flickr meetup...
wam! bam! my life would never be the same again!
through flickr, i have been blessed to meet amazing people from all over the world.
from waianae to the northshore...from alaska to new york...from japan to iceland...young and old…
we've celebrated the birth of children and mourned the passing of loved ones.
we've laughed, cried, and fought...
we've guided and inspired each other…
not only in this artform we call photography, but in the way we live our lives.
to all the wonderful people i've been blessed to meet over the past six years,
LOVE YOU, GUYS!!!!
Thought it'd be cool to host a Battlefront event for all the LEGO Military Community etc. members here on Flickr! We'll be playing Walker Assault and Cargo game modes as those seem to both popular and fun. To join is simple:
1) Add "MajorBonacelli" to your Friend's List.
2) Be online at the designated time.
3) Join the Party I'll create.
4) Kill Rebel Scum or Bucketheads!
Requirements include having Star Wars Battlefront obviously, as well as having a PS4. I also ask those who join not to speak profanity etc. I sadly do not have a mic setup yet so I can't chat either. :-(
Either or, I hope this event will be entertaining for all! Hope you can make it!

Happy to meet up with Raffee www.flickr.com/photos/fuctupfactory/ from Paris today who is visiting Hong Kong for a few days. He inspires me a lot with his sensational images.
The name Orlando Haus comes from a famous renaissance composer, Orlando die Lasso (about 1532 – 1594). He was born in Belgium, went in 1553 and as a bandmaster to Rome. From 1564 he was bandmaster of Munich’s royal band (Hofkapelle). At that time the band was part of Munich’s royal Residence only a view steps away from the Orlando Haus.
The foundation of Orlando Haus goes back to the 16th century when Orlando di Lasso lived there. At the end of the 19th century Max Littmann reconstructed a neo renaissance building based on the historic model, very similar to the “Hofbräuhaus” that is also on Platzl.
Flickr skips and jumps like never before and I don't know what's what anymore.
So how are you doing out there dear Flickr friends?
If you feel you've been missed, it's not YOU, it's FLICKR! I will list some of the issues I'm suffering from and perhaps You can add to it below or just give me a nod, then I will send it to Flickr admin. (They might just laugh, but you never know.)
a) I don't see everybody's photos in the main activity feed. Even when switching from "People" to "All Activity" in the menu.
b) You guys can't see all my photos either. (Hence the TAG) If you're not tagged, it's because you don't allow it or some such.
c) The new 'Activity Feed' is very tiresome. Clicking back and forth to see your photos and back to the main page again and so on.
d) I don't always get notified when you answer me back on a comment on your stream.
e) I don't always get notified when you send me a mail.
f) Writing tags has become a nuisance.
g) New comments get clumped together with old comments under the bell, making it hard to see if I've already read it and answered or not.
h) - Anything I missed you would like to add.
__
I'm NOT planning to leave Flickr. It's still the best forum out there for me and I have ALL of YOU here that I wouldn't miss for the world. Only, that's what I've been doing lately.
Hoping for the best!

Thanks to everyone in the Flickr community who has liked, commented on, critiqued, & admired my photos/photostream! I appreciate it SO much :) I've still got a lot of learning to do - which, as we all know, is a never ending process in photography.
Also, thank you to all bloggers that have participated in my 365 photo project - it's gotten way more attention & participation than I had anticipated, & I look forward each day to seeing what you all post!
flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Seit gestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind! Es gibt keine Moeglichkeit das umzustellen - das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von flickr!
In English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that german users can not access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ...
We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are!
Lade dieses Bild runter und poste es in deinem Account! Lass uns das Bild überall auf flickr verteilen und es in 'Interestingness' heben!! So geht es nicht!

Two years ago I (try) painted this boar. It was after many years without any painting my first experiment and I kinda like it. It was a present. Today I took a photo of it in the area where a lot of them live.

The Flickr logo in the form of snooker balls.
Another from a batch I’m sure I’ve posted before, but have gone missing.
Sometimes the simplest gift are my favorite. This is from my dear friend, Nicole. Whom I met through Flickr.
What can I say I was arrested by the F.B.I (Flickr Bureau of Investigation) and thrown in prison for a week.
I was charged with
● Impersonating a proper photographer
● Posting pictures of myself on flickr, which caused distress to others
● Being an obstruction to low flying aircraft due to my height
The FBI have been watching me for a while apparently and using 600mm lenses to stay hidden.
They grew suspicious after looking at my pictures 199,000 times but wondered how I reached over 200,000 views.
Anyway I was interrogated at Flickr headquarters in San Francisco, they wanted to know how I got into Explore without using pictures of nails and nail varnishes, teddies, dolls with button eyes, dolls with large breasts, pictures with bokeh and oof shots.
I didn't crack even after 20 hours of lamps in my face down in the basement so they transferred me to flickr Penitentiary.
They chloroformed me for the 10 minute journey across the road, I woke up a few hours later in my cell but damn that chloroform stuff really makes your bottom hurt.
Flickr Penitentiary was one hell of a scary experience especially as I shared a cell with Mr Big.
Mr Big was great for getting stuff, and I mean the hard stuff, I'm talking about class 10 cards none of this class 4 crap, the read and write times of the class 10 stuff sent me dizzy and on a high helping me to get through this horrible experience.
The Penitentiary was separated into groups I was in the Nikon group called the Nikon Bad boys then there was the Canon group called the 'L' class maulers and it was these two groups who ruled the place.
Another group was formed of smaller groups to make them stronger, they contained Sony, Pentax and Fuji and thanks to their combined numbers they where 10 strong.
Then you had the bridge camera and compact camera group, everyone just felt sorry for them, at night when it was really quiet you could hear them crying themselves to sleep, only if they spent a bit more on a proper camera.
The last group was the film users who were lifers, they had been in there forever.
The film users walked around like mindless zombies talking to pigeons and the walls telling them how digital is the work of the Devil and how you can't beat breathing in the fumes of film chemicals. They also ran the library bringing photography books to our cells on a trolley.
You are probably wondering how I got the scar on my face well I was mopping the corridor along the cells when three Canon users came round the corner and grabbed me.
Two held me down whilst the other one threatened me, he must have been a 5D MKIII owner as he looked like the boss and was very confident, the two apes looked like 550d owners to me, just following orders as they lacked the proper equipment.
Boss man told me to stay out of Explore if I knew what was good for me then slashed my face with what looked like a sharpened class 10 sdhc card attached to a toothbrush.
I was in the infirmary for the rest of the day with a nasty scar for my troubles.
Not long after I was released on bail thanks to my lawer a very famous landscape photographer who really knows what he's talking about, very knowledgeable and methodical.
Thanks to my lawer I also got the the set up used by the FBI for my police mugshot.
Taken With
►Nikon D300s
►Nikon 16-85 @45mm
►Tripod + Cable Release
►Elemental Ultra Pro 600 studio lamp with 42 inch Beauty Dish + Honeycomb cover
►2x Jessops 360 AFD flashguns
►Yongnuo RF-602 trigger + receivers
I was really impressed with their equipment and how they used it.
The elemental lamp was to the side of the camera and pointing down at my face and set at 1/2 power, the honeycomb cover helped to channel the light at my face.
1x flashgun was placed behind me pointing at the wall and set at 1/4 power.
1X flashgun was placed in the same position as the main lamp but lower down and set at 1/8 power to add light to the mugshot board.
All fired off camera using Yongnuo RF-602 trigger + receivers.
Thanks for reading about my experience and press 'L' on your keyboard to view this prisoner on black.
Now I'm out I will try and pop past your streams soon.
P.s anyone who reads this, leaves a comment, adds this as a fav, is a contact or just visits out of curiosity is now an accessory to the charges and will be subject to investigation by the FBI.
Perhaps I should have told you that at the begining Doh !
