I signed up to Pro last year, and have not noticed many changes except I have a vague feeling that there seems to be fewer people using it now.

I received and email yesterday with a notice of Flickr Pro membership going up in price with immediate effect.

We’re writing to inform you that effective today, the price of Flickr Pro subscriptions has increased to:

1 month: ￡6.49, VAT inclusive
3 month: ￡16.99, VAT inclusive
1 year: ￡55.88, VAT inclusive
2 year: ￡109.88, VAT inclusive

I paid my annual subscription in early January, but it is now getting too expensive and Flickr's future is looking a bit shaky, so I don't think I'll be renewing in 2021.

Thanks for your kind words John

Thanks everyone

Thanks Andy. The Siena Tower is one of my personal favourites from the trip. Weirdly, I don't really remember taking it!

The Laowa took a bit for me to get used to. It works very well on the K1 but it does have a couple of quirks. There is a mild colour shift due to the vignetting it produces at certain apertures. It is also not supported on my preferred RAW converter but as it has very low distortion it doesn't seem to matter too much. Easily fixed in post-process. I really like the colours it produces straight from the RAW file and it is sharp enough for my failing eyesight.

No 5 is Villa Sauli Pallavicino, in Parco Comunale in Arenzano near Genoa.

Thanks everyone. I've been struggling a bit recently to get enthused with photography. I seem to go through these down periods occasionally but hopefully I'm over that once again.

As a recent subscriber to Flickr's Pro service, I thought after a whole day they would have sorted out their website by now.

Lovely picture
