The photographers seem to be having a strong community on G+ and G+ is the place where us amateurs can be exposed to their awesomeness. And talented those people are.

In the last few months, I have noticed many HN posts linking to Google+ posts. G+ is becoming a strong blogging platform and because Google is pushing rel=author so hard, soon it won't matter WHERE you wrote it (domain), it will matter WHO wrote it (author). That's why I see A+ bloggers adopting G+ soon.
