Stuart rambles on about photography in all its 21st century manifestations and forms. This includes his passions such as black and white analogue photography. Other interests include his cameras, from his humble phone camera up to his 5x4 monorail. He prattles on about printing in his darkroom and let's not forget his many digital photo projects. Other interests include photo book publishing. Finally as a bit of a geek he ruminates on iPhone apps software and the Internet in general, as well.

Flickr, Explore and Stats?

My current top 3 most viewed images, above the older 3.

One of SmugMug's promises was to improve the Explore algorithm. Up until this year 3 images had held the top spot fairly solidly. This seems to have changed this year. My current top three most viewed images have all entered that spot in the last few months. So it seems the new owners have made good on the promise. Still a closer examination of the stats show the vast majority of the views coming from Android devices. I wish flickr would allow a more granular approach to these numbers.

Jimbo Boy at #4 and East Bentleigh at #6 were for many years my most viewed images. But with North Melbourne hitting top spot briefly in 2018, then the latest three moving the rest down it seems changes are indeed afoot.

For many years this picture was my most viewed; albeit probably for the wrong reasons. It has fallen way down the the list to number 23.

Visibility on flickr?

My flickr stats for the 21st July 2019!

Last week saw another new record for my views on flickr, with my most viewed picture being one that I had uploaded only a day or two previously. As of today, the image is the most viewed in my entire stream sitting at a figure north of 70,000 views!

Sadly there is no real info on the traffic and where it comes from or why. All I can say is, the majority of the views came from mobile devices and were split evenly between Android and iOS.
