Fawn Portrait by Jena Lynn Photography

33 8

Did you know: Fawns have an average of 294-306 spots? As you can see in the photo, they start in a row along each side of the spine. Fawns are born with spots because it's great at camouflaging them from predators like wolves, coyotes, and bears. They will lose their spots as they get older and don't rely on hiding anymore. They usually lose their spots around October when their winter coats start coming in. Have you ever stumbled upon a fawn in the woods and almost missed it from their camouflage?

Earlier this year, Flickr rebuilt the infrastructure that powers our beloved Explore page. Explore features about 500 exemplary images from across Flickr every day, highlighting photos that have caught the attention of the Flickr community. In rebuilding the tooling that powers Explore, we wanted to make sure it features a wide array of Flickr members, and that the images being highlighted represent great quality and community engagement.

Today, we want to share some exciting data on Explore and celebrate some impressive accolades with our community.

NEW

Why do I see photos with fewer faves or comments or views than mine on Explore?
The images featured in Explore aren’t necessarily the ones that gathered the most views, faves, or comments. We try to weigh in the quality of those actions over quantity. The timing of when you posted also plays a role.

Does adding my photo to groups help my chances of getting into Explore?

NO, but

===================>>

Adding your photos to on-topic groups is a great way to connect with other Flickr members interested in the same kind of photography that you do. It is also a great way to build community and interaction around your work, thus improving your chances of getting featured!

IS there a score?

i think not.

legends are:

Who picks the images for the Explore showcase?

Selections for Explore are made by a math equation. This math equation (called an algorithm) calculates a score based on how many views, faves and comments an images gets over a period of time.

The better the score the higher an image gets placed in the Explore list. Faves are heavily weighted in the equation and are far more important than comments. This score is often referred to as the "interestingness" factor of an image

A website FAQ asks:

What is there to do at Redfish Lake?

Relax and enjoy the scenery! Rent a boat from the Marina to explore the lake on your own. Sunbathe on the sandy beach. Hike: there are plenty of trails around to lead you to gorgeous backcountry. Saddle up at the Redfish Corrals. Stop by the Redfish Lake Visitor Center. Eat a hearty meal in the restaurant. Sip a cocktail in the lounge. Gaze at the Milky Way in the crystal clear night sky. Fish a nearby stream.

While I did not do most of the leisurely stuff described above, I did get to gaze in wonderment at the Milky Way in a really dark sky area. I had wanted to shoot a panorama of tracked longer focal length shots for some time. A well known astrophotographer Eric Benedetti shoots spectacular stacked Milky Way panoramas. He also shoots them mostly in this area which gave me the motivation to try something similar. This was shot the night before the Great American Eclipse from the nearby Stanley Lake.

I used a star tracker to gather more star light than I could without a tracker. For the ground portion, the tracker was turned off. A total of 30 exposures were then stitched into a panorama. I used a 55mm lens which is more commonly used for portraits. Apples to apples, a longer lens gathers more light than a wide angle lens. (You can read about Clear Aperture here : www.clarkvision.com/articles/nightscapes/)

My biggest challenge with this panorama is blending the sky and ground parts like it would be in one large wide angle shot. Thanks to John Burge for the pointers. John shoots some fantastic longer length panos (85mm and above). Do check out his work..

The peaks which frame the lake at its south end are

· Mount Heyburn at 10,229 ft (3,118 m) on the Right

· Grand Mogul at 9,733 feet (2,967 m) on the left

Deco(c)rate: Monthly Mystery Crate - May round's theme is "Modern Minimalism".

We have made a little work space set, complete with a wall desk with two organizers, and a desk chair of course!

*You can put two of your pictures on the polaroid in the desk organizer. Just drag an image from your inventory on the center of the polaroid and not on the white sides.

*The desk chair has six original animations, wherein two are bento.

Please use a bento-enabled viewer, along with bento mesh head and hand attachments, if you want to view these. :)

It was a hot and hazy day in Toronto ... by Judy

Yesterday I took a few photos of the CNE air show, from the 34th floor of our condo building. All of the shots are taken with my iPhone.

"The Snowbirds fly the Canadair CT-114 Tutor, a Canadian-built jet that was used by the Canadian Forces as a basic pilot-training aircraft form 1963 until 2000. The Tutor weighs approximately 7,170 lbs (3,260 kg) and is powered by a J-85 engine producing 2,700 pounds of thrust."

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your long Labour Day Weekend:)
