Is there anybody out there…..

    Hi Guys,

    is anyone listening/watching. I can practically see the tumbleweed ?

    It would appear that most of the forums have not had posts in months ? Is it Covid related or are people just not using the site as much ?

    Anything I can do to generate some more interest or input I would be most willing to do.

    Hi Mark,

    Unfortunately, its quiet. More a facebook pandemic instead of a covid one :D I’m not sure much can be done to entice people back to the forum/site. I’ve kept the site here running just in case though. I don’t like giving up lol

    Hope all is well at your end?

    By, got your tweet, the site should be fast. Images are all in the cloud and the rest of the site is hosted (shared) on fast SSD drives.

    All good Mark. Thanks for coming back to me. I had disappeared for a while but I am making a comeback. I’ll try and drum up some support for website. I’ll put a link to it on our club Facebook page

    Hey Charlene,

    welcome. Looking forward to seeing your photos. Whereabouts are you based ?

    Thank You! I am based near Tullamore in Offaly. I have always loved taking photos and invested in a starter camera mid lockdown and have become very fond of it. Hoping to learn and get lots of feedback.

    ETA: I spend a lot of time outdoors and like to take pictures of nature and my kids but have an interest in still life and street photography. I know the basics but I am still a bit of a novice when it comes to using the camera. So I spend a lot of time watching videos, reading forums and just experimenting really. I have a basic Nikon D3100 with a kit lens  and I just got a 35mm prime lens which I am loving using at the moment.

    Whereabouts did you post them ? There’s no moderation on the site. They appear up in the location they are posted immediately. Did you post them in Groups or Forums ?

    Thats bizzare, I posted them in the Photo Critique forum in the nature and wildlife section. I could swear it said this post is pending moderation…also possible I am losing it.. will try reupload! Thanks Mark.

    Hi there. Thats strange. Not seen that before.

    I’ve approved your 2 posts. I’ll dig into it a bit further. Please just message me on here if you run into any issues.

    Thanks Mark

    Thanks Mark, they were both the same post so you can remove one if you like, thanks for the help!
