I wouldn't expect more than a handful per user, though it seems that we are already getting far more than that given the apparent ease of use of the voting page.

So, the short answer is vote as much or as little as you want!


In casually visiting the page I've cast about 150 votes myself.

I am on about 400 lol. Its a nice thing to do when you are sat with a coffee. How long are you keeping it open?

I thought it was a blind voting.

You'll get a completely different interpretation of a crowd scene if you take from 1 block away using 300mm than you get from nearly a part of the crowd using 35mm.
Interpretation desired is a part of choosing "a good representative photo".

I agree with what you are saying, but that’s not what I was referring to, I probably didn’t word that right, but that’s ok.

Most of my shots are at f/5.6 to f/11 to get 'comfortable' DOF.
If we get 20-40mm at f/8, from my perspective, it did work.

Sure. Perspectives are different. A lens that has a large aperture is heavy and expensive. There is a perspective of reason also. A F8 is indifferent in many aspects.

My "Super Program" was kitted with a 50mm lens, so perspective was chained to framing.
My Canon EOS Elan was kitted with a 28-80mm - perhaps AF made zoom more feasible - and I found myself standing closer to the subject to get a more 'intimate' view.
At tourist railroads - where there is little clutter near the steam locomotive servicing facilities - I find myself in the way of other photographers because I tend to stand closer to the action.
All of this difference of preference is one of the factors that feeds into "best" photographs, and will feed our choice and use of lenses.

Nothing wrong with choosing a lens that would allow you to take the pictures you'd want to take, the way you want to. That's a viable definition of a good lens.

Really? My Exif plug in didn’t notice but I could have just been not paying attention.

not in the exif, in the right bottom of the image

What if I change my mind after choosing my best lens ? will the admin take the last nomination ?

You don't, you choose from photo pairs.

Oh LOL. Well I obviously was on autopilot.

it took me some time to find voting as well, maybe admins can add the link to the subj post? Or to the forum banner?

Adam mentioned that we should "give it a try" before publishing it on the front page.

[bdery]

I've been giving it a try for a few days.

I'm done to 8111 combinations remaining.

It seems I see the same 20-25 pictures over and over again, is that normal? They appear to be paired differently, but mostly the same few images.

I've noticed that too, but I am wondering if that is deliberate to ensure that things get a fair ordering.
