Flickr has very few female pics and it is littered with pics of naked males. In addition, the few female pics that are available are usually only topless. I miss the classic WNBR with riders like Lady Godiva.

Hopefully I am wrong and more female pics will be available soon.

Surprising how few gets posted online. Those guys should have pretty decent material of the 'Just Stop Oil' girl - though we have not seen a single full frontal off bike yet. If it was not for someone saving the water fountain video, i guess that would have gone unnoticed as well. It feels less is getting posted compared to a couple of years ago.

another one named hunter_usa2003 with a post count of 460 posts

Hi All

The problem is now solved, all of my previous posts are still here, all 460 of them.
I eventually worked out what had happened, this morning when logging in, I was told that my login credentials were incorrect, not sure how this can be as they are stored on my Mac.
Anyway I re set everything as requested, and some how it created a new account.
I am now back in to my original account and WNBR PICS London will follow.
I will be posting in the order that I shot then, so there will be a mixed bunch, but all women.

You seem to have logged in using a different username, hunter _usa2003 (note the space before the underscore), instead of the usual hunter_usa2003

EDIT ... explanation above.

Less definitely is being posted. YouTube has cracked down. Stuff they once allowed is now swiftly removed. Flickr no longer allows free users to upload anything that isn't 'safe', following on the heels of the 1000 images restriction (which they've never actually enforced). Hence people like WNBR Tog no longer having anything on there. It now costs £65 a year to be Pro, which is a luxury many can't afford in the current climate. It was only ever a tiny minority of snappers and videographers who shared anything publicly.

Vimeo, which allows mature content, has serious restrictions for free users and is expensive if you want to upload longer, higher resolution stuff.

You also have people who only upload images they consider respectful. They take but don't share stuff like close ups. You look at the vast number of people filming on vidcams and phones and you realise there must be a vast amount of material in the world that we'll never see. And you have a few people like me who are mostly focused on getting shots of people enjoying themselves, without much thought to bits and pieces. Give me one happy man enjoying himself and giving me a wave over 50 FF naked women looking miserable. I accept that I'm probably a bit strange There was one guy who used to be a regular who must have given off seriously dodgy vibes as he regularly got relatively explicit shots of women looking extremely uncomfortable. I was always surprised how many likes his stuff used to get

Is this a new record for the earliest post of the annual "there are no pics" complaint? It might be! Consider that when photographers had to spend a hot day out in London, and some of them were traveling to Brighton today, it might have been impossible for them to find a couple hours to upload to Flickr within 24 hours, even if they didn't want to pick through them or make adjustments instead of posting them all raw! And it even takes time for the internet searchers like myself to find and upload these things.

Anyway, I don't think anyone's mentioned yet, our very own goodwood1511, who goes by a different name here that I can never remember, managed to upload a large set of 286 last night, which I didn't find until just now for some reason. There are some pretty great moments:
