    What's the most "thanks" you've gotten on the Random Photo post thread?
    I'm fairly sure I hit my best with this one (not 100% sure) 41 was the magic number.
    I would imagine Valentia/Pete/Covey* have like zillions!

    I also know they are the more "artie fartie" ones that my Punk mates hate, they prefer just the normal looking shots (wider ones too)

    havent posted much of my pics here so dont think I have gotten any :(

    (most of my work is reportage stuff - capture the moment - not really worried about quality of image)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭smelltheglove


    Just saw those and I LOVE them. I think mine was around 17 or so with a recent trash the dress style shot!

    What happened to covey?

    The gif of the scumbag being hit by the barrier is worth 34 alone tbh. :P

    Over the last 12 weeks (from photo of the week), generally you will find that the "better" - read more liked photographs = more thanked, score high 40's however there have been a few which have gone into the 60's - they are few and far between (about 3 of the 12).

    As for me, at that rate of going I need to find about 50 more boardsie's that like my photography (I could be here for a long time) :D

    Mine was 37.
    Had a couple of 29's but it would take too long for figure out others.

    I had 45 in the "before and after thread", but that don't really count


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 985 ✭✭✭Cosmo K


    41 was my personal best (hand counted;) )


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Calina


    I feel all useless now. I think my highest was this one with 33.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,944 ✭✭✭pete4130


    AR,

    That first pic is possibly one of the best/stonrgest/most striking images I've seen posted on here in a while. The second one is another banger too.
    Really liked em AR!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,764 ✭✭✭Valentia


    I have no idea. Had one that made post of the day a while back but I can't even remember what it was. Memory has nearly completely evaporated.

    I don't count them. I just keep a little black book ;-)

    I remember one time one of Dannys got about 80 thumbs up. Don't know what was more impressive. All the thumbs up or the shot. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,484 ✭✭✭Quackles


    Wow, I feel so inadequate looking at those numbers :) I believe mine was zombie baby - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=61769121&postcount=1050

    Technically my best by no means, but I like it ;)

    I'd love if there was a thumbs down button too, all HDR shots would automatically get it from me ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,368 ✭✭✭Covey



    What happened to covey?

    Nothing at all ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,067 ✭✭✭AnimalRights


    :D

    Oh...it must be someone else then who seems to have vanished!

    I don't know how many times that thought crossed my mind.

    Lees time talking about photography means more time taking photos ;):cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭honerbright


    Think mine was 24. A crazy proud moment for me, even though people have gotten way higher :p

    Sorry, suprised even myself with the amount of thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,977 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Any way to find out apart from going back and checking them all?

    It's not that high for me anyway, maybe 20 or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,196 ✭✭✭PaulieC


    No, AR, not childish at all...the forum equivalent of who's got the biggest c*ck (or t*ts, for the ladies :P). I can dig that. Personally, I have the online equivalent of a small c*ck as I only reached about 25 maybe once or twice.

    I have noticed though when a picture is posted has a major affect on the number of thumbs-ups it gets (aside from the quality of the actual pic). There are definitely good times and bad times to post with regard to thumbs-up quantities...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    129

    Well I won't mention any names but I noticed some posters had their pics always posted near the top or top of a new page which also I would imagine greatly helps. ;)
    Mine were posted near the bottom so I can claim diplomatic immunity. :D

    Got the same impression.
    Thought I'd better be quite here, as not many people here like my pics. But was surprised to see there are some with more than 10 thanks. And this got even 15...:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭oshead


    I get thanked for not posting a photo of my little girl. :confused: My two best are 49 for Charleville Castle (ahem... HDR) and 44 for an average shot of a Dozy Bumble Bee. Both won photo of the week btw. ;)

    Edit: Took me about half an hour with a Corduroy Anorack on to find those. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    How do you find out? Or is a matter of trawling through and counting the old fashioned way? If it is, I'm not bothered. :)


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,698 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    This one with 40 or so.

    Nothing else of note :/

    If I could have thanked that one twice I would have, it's amazing.

    just go into your cp and click on the stats tab. the option to see thanked posts is there.... but with you i think it will be an effort:)

    Brilliant photo. It's in my top 5 favourites of the year.


    I've counted a couple but it's very tiring on the eyes but counted one at 37 (post 136 on Thread xii, no good at clickylinkies). Think that's the most.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Kbeg3


    This one with 28

    I'm quite embarrassed that this is my most thanked post with 40, not so closely followed by this as my 2nd most thanked post with 10


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,196 ✭✭✭PaulieC


    this weeks potw if i'm not mistaken...
