I have seen it used before in macro photography but I dont find that topic particularly interesting except to see other people's great images.
I think that if we are 'old' photographers then we remember the evenings of see holiday slides from others!
Everybody has a boredom level and it is variable. I like to learn the names of the birds since the RSPB seems to be less good these days at putting out definite bird books/DVDs. Books are better for this learning though.
As Eric says ....... "But it soon became clear to me that pursuit of excellence wasn't so much about equipment but more about fieldcraft, local access and being prepared to invest time...more time than I was prepared to invest."
Eric, I have two Fuji XE1 IR (655nm and Full Spectrum) cameras and 1 D80 (655nm) and D70 (720nm) IR cameras. I still need to experiment with the Full Spectrum camera but this Brexit stuff and the need to move back to UK has destroyed my spare time!
I still enjoy the IR stuff and experiment with it but not as much as I would like.
In general I definitely agree with Eric's comment..."To keep interest we need new topics. The trouble is they seem to be fewer in number these days."
I am happy if people want to take photos and only participate in only one thread.
I do agree that the Gallery is the best way to post images and with the current enhancements to the forum software performed by Chris all images are put into each person's personal gallery.
I personally spend a lot of time in the Fuji X forum as I am a moderator there. However since my Z7 has arrived I am taking more and more images with the Z7. Plus ca change!
