    Is there a way to embed Flickr photos into boards using Flickr iOS app?
    It's a real pain get the BB Code link on website using mobile browser.

    Saw a large flock of those geese on Tue/Wed afternoon along the dodder Keps and was hoping you were out and about. Three large formations together, looked quite impressive.

    It's a big coincidence that you have 'cough cough' in your signature - as that is all I have done for the past 10 days - terrible dose doing the rounds.

    Think I have shaken it off at last- so maybe pick up on some more flocks as I get out and about again:)

    Was the moon enlarged in this photo during post processing? Looks much too big to be real.

    Nice well done!

    Did you manually scan or use some pattern recognition app to get it ?

    Noticed the water tower on the right hand side of the first shot, figured the taller buildings were Ballymun and tracked back across maps :)

    Keps riverside photos keep getting better and better. Some of the shots over the past few years have been magnificent.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    Thanks for the kind words OldGoat.
    I'm retired and have time on my hands:) ( for a while anyway)

    I bought a second hand full format camera( Nikon D600) about a year ago - and shortly afterwards purchased a new(cheap to my mind) Tamron 150- 600mm lens

    I just find the combination works so well for me.

    Thanks again

    Martin McGuinness pic

    Sorry for quoting / comments in this thread, but I'm 99.9% sure I've seen this shot used in an online paper article yesterday.
    Worth checking your permission / copyright settings?

    Edit. Gioogle search shows multiple hits

    @Art Deko - just wondering if you were aware of this? just over halfway down...

    At this stage the photo was almost gone viral. I've seen it online in multiple sites, as Facebook profile pics, memes and even as a flag for a football (Ruby?) match.

    Hi all and thanks for making me aware of this.
    My photo of Martin McGuinness is being used widely and I've seen some composite images doing the rounds. Some people that are using it are starting to credit me as the original photographer.
    Overall, Im happy to see it getting such great coverage but my concerns are that someone will start to use it for their commercial gain.
    I don't think there is a lot I can do about it.

    What a really heart-warming photo.
    Is there a back-story that you would care to share?

    Hi keps, thanks very much for the kind words. That's my 6 yr old daughter. She has alopecia totalis. It started in September and within 6 weeks she had lost all her hair. Complete shock to my wife and I obviously. Still coming to terms with it but my daughter is inspiring. Not a bit fazed by it and is incredibly strong and independent. Apart from being completely bald she is healthy and active like any other 6 yr old.

    I was unsure whether to add a comment with the photo but thanks for asking!
