ILPhoto Gallery (a thread to show off your pictures)

From what I've read, unknown source hits can include blogs etc. that block referral data, but also from direct hits, like from a bookmark or an email etc. I also wonder if sites like flickriver have something to do with it.

Hmmm. I was curious because, on quiet days when I've not uploaded anything new for a while and there's no compelling reason for friends to be ploughing through my photos, instead of a total daily hit-count of around 60 (search engine hits for stuff within and without Flickr, usually), I now get a hit-count of around 150 and it's overwhelmingly "unknown source" making up the difference.

For example, yesterday (having not uploaded anything since Jun 2):
136 views - 41 within Flickr, 20 Google/Yahoo image search, 1 Facebook, 1 ohdeedoh, 73 unknown source.

Occasionally, I'll get a big spike on one image - 55 views in a day, all unknown source.

I'm still very pleased with the lower-contrast look I can get with the new lens and scanner. This is around Bowling Green after work the other day.

Modest and pleasant.

I liked this one, when I had cropped the top

An older one, that I am not too bothered about, but my dad likes so I don't feel so bad about him chipping in to mend my lens

This, as I had such a hellish weekend trying to get an article about boring restaurants and tourists, that it was so nice to find that the monks alms giving was not a tourist trap for this pious little fella

Great light and composition btw.

Thanks for looking if you do, sorry, used to be able to post directly but seems to screw up each time

the pig one is awesome

where do you live?

These were in bangkok markets, for a mag article

http://completelyinthedark.com/main.php?g2_itemId=14164 More pig, the stench made me feel quite ill

Asia is good for gross meat shots. A market in Laos http://completelyinthedark.com/main.php?g2_itemId=13528
Thanks for looking.

Love the pig.

Messing with tones and trying something different, not sure about it yet!

Still fighting the urge to do a sunset, don't think i'll last much longer.

I'm no Richard Gin but - should I ever get out of the house - I would like to be the dude at the front with the DSLR a little more often...

Grabbed this as we were packing our bags to return from a holiday. Didn't expect it to turn out so well.

Morning by davejm, on Flickr

I like that a lot Millsner, especially the composition and the detail of the bed. If there were one small thing it's that the top right is a little too bright at the expense of the left, but I love how you can still see the hand on the foot, which - for me- is the punctum. It's lovely.

the photos that i like that i have taken are mostly just friends of mine.

whatever, that picture is delightful

thanks gbx

plax otm, those pics are great. i'm way more invested in trying to capture something that captures one of my friends than i am getting a good landscape or w/e, & the gestures & expressions in the above are really nice.

I have a snapshot to share. I've been shy b/c 99% of my photos for the last couple years have been iPhone, and often Hipstamatic. Be kind?

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284944_2284224067639_1309983927_32655914_140336_n.jpg

Wow, that's an extraordinary image.

Thanks. That's the lobby of my apartment building, and that's vomit (99% sure). Public vomit is not as upsetting when its color and setting are interesting.

Looks like someone had too much red wine. Or they have serious stomach issues.

Anyway here's another none sunset shot from the Lake District.

Lovely.

This could be the start of something. Feeling entirely uninspired on Wednesday (I only had the 40D with me cos I was supposed to shoot a portrait at work), I decided to shoot from ground level around Soho. So, #1: walls. Wish I'd shot at f/11 or something as the shallow DoF doesn't do this sort of thing any favours. Collage in Picasa...

Wonderful, evocative shot, Je55e. I love the work that's been posted here in the past week or so.

I haven't really linked to it anywhere, but judging by the view count some people seem to like this one:

lake district at the weekend. wedding.

Very nice! Love the haziness and diffuse light.

I also really dig that dog shot. Positioning, shadows etc. are top notch!

dog is very moriyama-ish!

Thanks, everyone. What's she holding in her right hand?
