RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Andreos1 - 22 Mar 2015 (22 Mar 2015, 8:04 pm)Jimmi wrote Just feel in such a bad mood right now. I don't have a Flickr account and don't pretend to know anything about the politics that goes on in the world of Flickr (I think I asked some questions about it a while back), but can only compare it to likes on here or fb and favourites on Twitter. I get why it may be frustrating, but as long as you're happy, what difference does it make if people (who going from discussion elsewhere), favourite owt that has a driver, a number and a door - regardless of whether it is a poor shot or not. Quality often doesn't come into it on here, we have all seen a one liner generate more likes, than a well written piece on x, y or z. The amount of viral tosh put on fb, that gets shared about and 'liked' is silly too. Do the kids still do that 'like for a like' thing on fb? Stick with it, do what you're doing, learn from it and your moment will come. RE: What's annoying you today?

I do try my hardest to get people to view and I have 102 followers and I am following 103 so that is pretty good really especially as I only joined Flickr 6 months ago. I am very shy and struggle to go up to people, especially if I can't put a name to the face. Was actually looking at how photos end up on Explore and it appears that it is basically a lottery where 500 photos end up on there, apparently it has something do to do with views, comments and favourites a photo gets - so if this is the case I don't think there will be much chance I will ever get on there as I don't get many comments. Normally I am not bothered about this sort of thing but it does happen sometimes and most days I probably wouldn't care less about Explore. Would love just one photo to pop up on there someday though. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Davie - 22 Mar 2015 (22 Mar 2015, 8:04 pm)Jimmi wrote Just feel in such a bad mood right now. Jimmi, your photos are fantastic, much better than. There is nothing wrong with them, and if you don't like them, just keep practicing them, and you'll be fine ![]() RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - R852 PRG - 22 Mar 2015 I agree with the above comments, Jimmi. I like the variety of photos you bring to the community, a lot of independents in your area that normally don't really get much attention on Flickr, as well as a lot of the mainstream stuff. I'm really pleased I got a photo on Explore, but I feel it should really go to somebody who dedicates lots of time to photography (such as yourself) as I'm just a ''take a few photos that may be worthy of uploading'' sort of person. Whereas you take photos on a daily basis, obviously having to fit it around other things, and you travel to various parts of the region to take photos of lots of different things, which I must say, is a commendable effort from my point of view. I'm sure one day you'll get a photo on Explore. ![]() RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Dan - 22 Mar 2015 I've probably had around 10 photos Explored since the back end of 2012, and I've uploaded almost 9,200 now. Do the maths - as a percentage, that's absolutely dreadful. I don't particularly care at the same time - I'd prefer to know that people who like buses are viewing my photos rather than complete randomers with no interest for buses at all. This photo got in excess of 26,000 views and 30 favourites - but as it wasn't Explored, it seems better in my eyes as it came from people in the hobby. Similar story with my most faved photo. As everyone else has said, Jimmi, it's nothing to worry about. Take it in your stride - if one of your photos gets Explored, congratulations, you've done something (whatever Flickr thinks that is) right. If not, it's not the end of the world. ![]() EDIT: The amount of views a photo being 'Explored' is much more significant than it was a few years ago, but that's because Flickr now counts a view if a photo appears on a page, and you don't have to physically click it to get a view. The photograph below was 'Explored' - which says it all: ![]() Two other photographs I uploaded in December 2012 were also explored, bizarrely, and none of them were particularly great photographs.

Take a look at the photo I took recently of 3814 on the 85 as an Example below, you will see I have that photo in 30+ Groups. https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalarkey/16579040857/ Hope this helps Jimmi.

I like the variety of photos you bring to the community, a lot of independents in your area that normally don't really get much attention on Flickr, as well as a lot of the mainstream stuff. Like I say Explore is a lottery (which is why it hasn't happened to me based on my luck with the actual lottery). Don't get me wrong I think it is fantastic that you got a photo on Explore, I just hope that one day my efforts will get recognised to more people even though it will just be a taster and many won't view my photos again. I do actually like to put effort into everything I do and I do travel to take many photos and some in less seen places, I mean I even walked to School Aycliffe for a shot of The Eden's Town Service 17 which was a longer walk than I thought it would be, especially since we've lost our bridge and it was still icy in places and I had to run because I thought I was going to miss it only for it to turn up 10 minutes late then I planned to walk to Heighington for the 1 but because of the Eden was running 10 minutes late I had to practically run right through Heighington to get to the stop on-time. I am happy with the views and favourites I get most days, the photo of the 2 new Sapphire Enviro 400's I uploaded on Wednesday currently has 697 views on it (although I placed that photo in a lot of groups). I am grateful for everything I get on Flickr but just sometimes not just with Flickr I get a bit wound up about other people getting more, again I think this is down to my school life as I rubbish at most things and when I was good at something I got nothing and it seemed like I struggled with most things and everyone else sailed through and had more money, friends and was actually good at things at school. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - omnicity4659 - 23 Mar 2015 Jimmi, don't get yourself down about the Flickr. ![]() There are some very poor photographs in "Explore" and this is an example:- https://www.flickr.com/photos/fabolous/16688526857/in/explore-2015-03-22 ![]() The bus hobby is a rather small one, its not as big as the rail one. I normally flick through photos of trains on Flickr, and the only ones that I seen that had a large amount of views and favourites was 91105 in Virgin Trains East Coast livery. When I had Flickr, it was either my poor mobile phone photos (before May) and then my trip to Cragside, Jesmond depot, Sapphire photo shoot at the depot etc. The Sapphire photo shoot got more favourites than, say, Cragside House or 91109 crossing the Aln. It's just what people like to look at to be honest, there are always some excellent photos on #NEBuses. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 23 Mar 2015 Thanks again everyone for all your support. Out today for more photos, although I forgot to charge the battery for my camera, thankfully I have a look fully charged spare. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 23 Mar 2015 Old Solos on the 40/40A this morning. Thanks for wasting my time again Stanley Travel. RE: What's annoying you today?

RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 23 Mar 2015 Not having the best of luck on this outing. No Solo SR's on the 40/40A, Missed Stagecarriage services in Boro due to late running? And my shot of 7485 on the 64A didn't catch the LED. Did get a photo of some pandas though, find out more about that on my Flickr tonight. RE: What's annoying you today?

V3 - Malarkey - 23 Mar 2015 People dont do the Jobs Correctly, had a Phonecall from a Private Number regarding an Interview for a Business Administration Apprentice, as I wasnt to sure on where the place was in Wallsend I requested they sent me an Email with the Address etc on so I could find it, and they failed to do so, so I have spent the past 2 Hours racking my brains, going through my Job Searches and speaking to numerous people over the phone to find where I had to be next Monday, after all that I have now found where I have to be. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 23 Mar 2015 Currently pulling a Marcus by hiding. Just one of the stupid things I do on a regular basis that annoys me very much.

All OmniCitys are like that, to be fair... 5245 was extensively refurbished just last year, so it shouldn't be a case of worn seat moquette already. RE: What's annoying you today?
