Try fitting the winder. If you like chunkier cameras it can help. K.

Being a total nerd and a "parastatistician" I am always looking at numbers of things. When I joined Flickr I did so solely to be able to post images here and elsewhere. As time has gone on I have tried to make sure the images are moderately well tagged and sorted and posted to a few groups too. I'm not in the least bit interested in all that "post 1 award 3" type nonsense but it cannot hurt to have one's pictures bought to a wider audience: the only picture I have sold was because of Flickr. I am, however, quite amused by which pictures get lots of "views" so here are some numbers:

My most viewed photograph by quite some way is my picture of "My three exes" seen here (263 views compared to No. 2 with 177).

Of my top ten photographs, 8 are of camera equipment, one is of me using my Horseman, and one is a picture (of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial, NYC, as rejected by the PPG [ranked 7 with 77 views]).

Of the top 50 photographs 19 are of camera equipment plus the one of me using the Horseman, 15 are medium format film shots taken with my Lubitel 2, 10 are photos taken with my K10D/K20D and the last five are 35mm film shots.

Of the 30 pictorial images in the top 50, 17 are monochrome and 13 in colour. This doesn't reflect the balance of colour to monochrome overall.

None of this is very meaningful as the figures contain all sorts of biasses but the popularity of equipment shots and ones with the Lubitel** is really quite interesting. If you're a nerd, that is.

**I was given the Lubitel for nothing. I have no idea how much all my dSLR/35mm kit cost!

I wonder what the criteria are for the Premier gallery? Your owl pic is nice, but I wouldn't have thought it rated being in the top 300 photos on the site? Not meaning to be rude here, BTW, just curious. I wonder if you have to be in the "100 pictures accepted" club to be considered for the Premier Gallery? All very puzzling...!

I noticed the FF comment too. Pentax had a fair bit in the news section this week.

If you don't want to try it yourself try Alan at A.M. Technical Services. Usually costs £30 or thereabouts.

Lovely image, and you must have been quick to catch the butterfly on them.

Thank you Gwyn.

Ugly! I liked the symmetry of the berries myself. Autumnal berries are always going to be with dying leaves, that's nature, innit?

K.

Thanks everyone. I have a whole sequence as the sun slowly disappeared. I won't bore you with them!
