This post is my opinion only. Here goes: If I never saw another photo of BIRDS on UHH, I would be happy as a pig in mud.
Hoggers know that there are a many BIRDERS posting pictures daily of their BIRD photos. You just might be one of them. No offense, but I’m tired of BIRD photos, and I fully realize that I will get a lot of opposing views from the BIRDERS. There are a bazillion birds in the world and they all look the same. Birds show no emotion. They all fly using the same physics of wing technology. They all eat worms or seeds or fish.
When I get my daily UHH Digest email, any item which has a reference to Birds, such as “Birds,” “BIF,” “Heron,” “Osprey” etc. etc. I will not take a peek. Some BIRDERS try to conceal that it is a post of BIRD pictures by giving the post some cutesy title, where the title evokes some emotion that birds do not have…the titles are like click-bait.
Just today, I went to the “Newest Pictures” section on UHH, and found sample pages of the sheer volume (ratio) of BIRD photos. See attached. I haven’t figured the exact % of Bird photos, but that % is high.
My second most overused category is “Flowers.” There are likely a magnitude more flowers in the world that BIRDS, and the same logic applies. IMO, photos of single flowers NO, an arboretum with a massive amount of flowers designed into the venue YES….colorful and pleasing! Now if you put people in front of a massive flower display, even better!
My favorite genre of photos is PEOPLE, people of all ages, infants to old-timers. People’s faces tell a story, have emotion, and evoke joy or tears or wonderment to the viewer. Second favorite is Landscapes.
SOLUTION:
Just as UHH has sections for “People Photography” and “Sports Photography,” if the Admin could make 2 additional sections, one for “Bird Photography” and one for “Flowers Photography,” that would allow BIRDERS/FLOWERS to post their precious photos there, and would allow Hoggers to either subscribe or not to these sections, and would take Birds and Flowers out of the “Photo Gallery” section.

If possible, I'd like to occasionally use the SB-80DX which I purchased with my first digital SLR 20 years ago with my newer cameras, a D500 and D7000 via a longer sync cord. I'm a hobbyist and don't need anything too sophisticated for now. And I really don't use a flash that much. My current unit works on both hot shoes for most functions but don't seem to function with the SC-17 cord I have. I'd like to use it off-camera for fill and the times I'm the photographer at family functions. Since the flash is vintage, there is naturally no listing in either manual for compatibility, and not sure that would answer my question anyway. Can anyone recommend an information source that might help, or will my next purchase have to be some kind of remote system that I really don't need now. Thanks in advance.
