Questions about images.
This group is a place for real questions for research. Please no quizzes or jokes. There perhaps will be quite a few taxonomy questions. And there will be questions about unknown tools, devices etc. The first question (mine) is about the publishing date of a drawing by Charles Darwin. That gave me the idea to open this group.
Feathers Galore is for all images of birds of all sorts to show the beauty of their plumage.
The group will provide inspiration to other photographers in their journey to capture that special image and artists to see the beauty in their plumage
To show the UK's wild flowers at their best. Not cultivated varieties please, just truly wild growing flowers. For example a flowering weed in your garden would be fine, because it's naturally occurring even in a place of cultivation.
If you want to post something you can't identify, that's okay but try please to name your flower if at all possible, add tags as appropriate if you can be bothered.
Group is open to Motorthomes, Truck Campers and other vehicles that can be used for overnight camping trips, feel free to add converted busses, trailers also welcome!
Photobombers can be people, animals or birds. Just someone or thing that "interrupts" your photo as you go to take it.
Wikiepedia describes photobombing as "the act of accidentally or purposely putting oneself into the view of a photograph, often in order to play a practical joke on the photographer or the subjects."
We extend that descriptions to include the behaviour of birds and animals or just wander or fly into our photos.
Memorials rather than gravestones*: stones, plaques, inscriptions, gardens... any period (NB 'monument' is ambiguous: for this group it means "an obelisk, statue, building, etc., erected in commemoration of a person or event or in celebration of something" RATHER THAN "a building, structure, or site that is of historical importance or interest." *note - Unless it has particular significance, eg famous individuals.

To mark, with respect, the loss of innocent lives from terrorist actions, of any flavour.
4-6 Jan 2022 - Zamfara [Nigeria] massacres
9/11 - the loss of 3,000+ lives happened 20 years ago. What lessons can be learned from these tragedies and their aftermath ?

Pictures depicting weather events, such as rain, snow, storm clouds etc. This is not a group for sunrise/sunset, nor is it a group for seasons.
No black and white photos
No people in the picture - this is for weather events only
Photographs of the old, rusty and corroded things around us daily. The abandoned, deserted, forgotten, broken. Things from our environment that have failed, left to corrode away, or rust because of neglect.
Just "old" doesn't qualify here, though "old" can be a part of the photo's image. (i.e.; old houses, old wooden doors... no, that's not what we're looking for. A rusty old metal doorknob though, sure!)
Just make sure the photo really conveys the "old, rusty & corroded" feeling. A long…
A problem not exclusive to the UK ...
Over the last few years, there has been a growing trend in the UK, of subtly altering your number plate so that it appears to spell something. Some so-called "personalised 'plates" are also likely to be modified. Strictly speaking, these alterations are illegal. It is also illegal to use a non-standard font, or to have any unauthorised writing or emblem on the plate. Such 'plates may attract the attention of law enforcement.
Some older plates might appear t…
A showcase of British Wildlife. Only top quality photographs please. The photographs are moderated, and you may add up to 5 per day.
Quality is the key. As a minimum, photographs have to be in focus, and correctly exposed. Normally, the wildlife has to be prominent in the frame.
If possible, please add details of the location your wildlife was photographed, as it helps organisations that monitor our wildlife.
I understand that some people consider flowers as wildlife, but this group is for Briti…

April 2014 - E2A - Detailed close ups of features may be accepted at the discretion of the administrator.
Commenting is not compulsory, but would be much appreciated.
To show wild flowers in their habitat. Flowers of the Meadow, flowers of the hedgerow, and those invasive flowers in the garden we call weeds!
Please do not post cultivated flowers - there are other groups for those. I will accept "naturalised" or "escapee" examples.
All parts of the flower may be shown, individually or combined. The shoot, leaves, buds flowers and seeds. You need to show enough of the whole flower for it to be identified, in other words - no macros of just the stamens .....…
