Are you really doing this??? I just received a 7, a 8, and then a 1. Since my average is 5.4 at present I don't think it is a bad pic. I KNOW some people vote 1 but a comment would let us know why.
So are you voting 1 for date only pics?
:(

I'm not complaining, cause i've been voting today, and i've been giving out 10's to anyone i thought deserved it, but ya, i'm wondering how people are voting |

You usually know where you stand after about 24hrs. You should be very pleased with that score. I hope to be up there someday. |

Then the rant ;)
You people amaze me! A group who's title contains nothing but the year is going to vote down everyone that has more than the year??!!#$%#@#%
Another group is going to retaliate because they have more than the year and will vote down anyone who's title contains only the year!!??@#@$%$^
I thought we were grown-ups?
Ok ok since I've been provoked, let me go and give a 1 to all of those wonderful shots that I've sofar given 7,8,9,10 LOL!!!
Hello people! What has this bickering come to? We are from different backgrounds and from all over the world, isn't that fantastic? If we are playing Trivial Pursuit I can understand the issue but we cannot be expected to know every little bit of history and how things were in for example 1953 in rural America or 1944 in Iceland (independence year)
Go back people and be fair, the challenge description said put the year in your title, it didn't say exlusively and nothing else..

Hey it's my first one so I'll take anything, would like more comments though.
I agree with the crazey "title" fights. Low grading a shot based on a title you do not agree with doesn't make sense. |

A significant majority of the entries did just that. Very refreshing; check the date, look at the picture, vote. A welcome change from the usual diet. EXCEPT.... There's a LOT of pictures that either reference no date at all, or load the title down with explanations. Maybe I'm just cranky tonight, but that irritated the heck out of me. I did EXACTLY what I was told to do; my title is "the year", period. That's what they asked for, that's what most of us gave 'em. It wasn't so hard to do...
But for those who say "DQ 'em!", well, we can't do that; "not meeting the challenge" is not grounds for DQ; it's up to the voters to decide...
Robt. |
You hit it dead on Robert. Anything more than just a date is getting voted down from me. |
Oh don't be so ANAL - just vote on the quality of the image. |
I have to agree, I also understand that I don't want to read an entire encyclopedia entry before voting on the picture.
That being said, even if the shot has a lengthy title I will not and would not vote it down. We all have to all try and keep in mind that we vote on the photo, NOT THE TITLE. So what if the title sucks? Aren't we all trying to become better photographers? This isn't a website dedicated to authors! ;-) |

| I joined this site to learn about digital photography, and to realize my attempts are low balled due to titles that annoy is disheartening. Sure there are idiosyncrasies with any group of people and us newbie̢۪s are going to get some bruises along the way. So if you̢۪re new to DP, as I am, just take it in stride and pay attention to those constructive comments. |

So you want to call us names because WE choose to vote a certain way?

I don't speak up much in these types of threads... but I gotta say that just outside of Chit Rabbington you have to be right up there on the "likes to start s**t o'meter"!

I noticed that some mentioned they got a 1 or 10 score. All I see is the avg. Excuse me for being ignorant, but where can I see the individual scores? Or can I? Thanks.
Also, I've received some great comments, yet my score is 4.7. Hmmm??! |

This knowing a vote is achieved by constantly hitting the update button so that you get the next vote count and the average. For example:
100 votes
Average of 5.1111
101 votes
Average of 5.1125
Multiply 100 x 5.1111 to get 511.11
multiply 101 x 5.1125 to get 516.3625
Subtract the first from the second:
516.3625-511.1100 = 5.2525 means the 101st vote was probably a 5 or a 6. With real numbers it works out better. My example is probably not the best but the math technique is right.

To be honest I didn't even enter the challenge. I just love these threads though. I'm so mean I know. But these threads are ridiculous. Just wait until the week is over, then you will know your score. As it is now, it is ever changing. It can go up...it can go down. Go out and shoot some pics and stop hanging on a thread.
