Leaderboards of the Most Viewed Photos

Awesome initiative @AdamGT

Here is a screenshot of my highest viewed image.

I took inside a car while I was attending a wedding ceremony in Owerri. This is actually not my best photo but it has happened to be the most viewed.

Hope it will serve the purpose of this initiative.

Data: March , 2019.

camera: Infinix Note 4.

Places:88 Wethedral Rd Owerri.

Not my best photograph.

Total number of all photos views: 123,376

Total number of photo views: 2,390,270

Total photos added: 2,207

Best regards.

HI @Austinelewex

Thank you for your positive comment and for submitting details about your star photo of Rennys Food Limited in Owerri, Nigeria. However there is some missing information that is needed to be able to include you in the Leaderboards and I know that you will appreciate that this is a busy post and as well as needing time for me to send you this message, it will take extra time for me to work out your missing information so I would really appreciate if would take just a few minutes to re-read the submission requirements and edit your reply to include the missing information. Just follow the 10 simple steps. It’s really easy and for a good example of a complete submission see @SholaIB 's submission about Mamba Point. I hope you can do this within 24 hours so I can include you in the next Leaderboard update.

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
All the best.
Adam

Thank you for your kind appreciation and motivation @karinchavoll . As I’ve written before, I feel that full and final analysis and interpretation of all this data will not be possible until we have a wider representation of Local Guides, especially at levels 1 to 7 and 9. Statistically we need a minimum of 30 at each LG level (I will explain why this magic number of 30 is important later). So I’m hoping that more Local Guides will join in. We will all benefit from the results so spread the word among your friends and on this, I thank @SholaIB for taking the initiative with his achievement post.

All the best

Adam

  6. Creo que los factores importantes que contribuyen a hacer una foto superior son:

    (b) La popularidad del LG (cuanto mĂĄs popular, es mĂĄs probable que se vean las fotos)

  7. La cåmara que utilicé es: FUJI X100S

Hi @alokeme

I’m sorry but I have exceeded the limit of PM messages so will reply to your PM here: Thank you for the link. From your link, your answers to questions 8 and 9 should be:

8 - Total photo views is 251,029,884

9 - Total number of photos is: 33,429

You didn’t show the Total number of photos so just edit your submission with the above values for questions 8 and 9. Also, it would be good if you would be kind enough to number your answers from 1 to 9 to make your submission easier for everyone to follow. See the many examples in this post including that of @DiegoMeni .

Regards

Adam

@AdamGT el ranking se actualiza solo?

Hi @AdamGT

You are welcome. The game seems to be brewing and getting more and more interesting. What happens when my " photo views" increases? As I speak now my figures on the star photos has increased. Do I resend or is that for a new section of the leaderboard?

Thanks

Hi @alokeme

Yes of course every day we all add photos so the numbers are dynamic but this is irrelevant at the moment as at a given point in time I will normalise all the numbers for better consistency on the Leaderboards. Also, as I have repeatedly said this is not a competition to see who is the best. It is more about performance of our photos and how we can improve this.

Would you please take a screenshot showing where you are seeing Total photo views is 251,029,884 and Total number of photos is: 45,419

Thanks for your help!

Adam

Hi @MamenPerera

Thanks for your input and what a great garden you have! I also checked your co-star photo and love the landscaping with the rockery! I’m glad that @SonjaPerera passed on an invitation for you to join in this post as your photo performance is precisely what I was hoping to flesh out. Update of the Leaderboards is in hand so stay tuned.

Hello all,

As per update note #7 on the opening post, today 18 August 2020 at 23:25EST, I updated our Leaderboards for entries of @Sagir, @Austinelewex, @LuigiZ, @MamenPerera and @Irfan_dPriyanto and for convenience, these new entries are shown in on the leaderboards. The updates were made based on the information provided by the new entrants and if you are one of these then you should check that I have correctly entered your details and let me know if there are any errors! Additional comments follow:

To try to cut down on the number of questions I’m getting in both private messages and in comments, I’ve added a question and answer section on the opening post. Putting questions in the one central place is the best way for all, especially new participants, to benefit from the Q&As. So if you have a question then that’s a good place to start and I will add to the Q&As as the need arises.

@SonjaPerera please check your updated data.

@SholaIB regarding your question about the ever changing data please see Q&As #4 and #5

@Austinelewex (Please check your star’s date and advise as gMaps suggests that it is November 2018

@DiegoMeni Para saber con qué frecuencia se actualiza la clasificación de las fotos, consulte la pregunta y respuesta n. ° 3 en la publicación de apertura.

@Nafis_Sadique_Ayan I’m still trying to work out why you can’t submit your information and will get back to you soonest.

@Orpheo @mehedihasan16323 please see Q&A #6

Finally, I’m pleased that we have our first entry in Leaderboard #1.5 for Level 5 Local Guides and I have to say with very impressive photo views! Now I’ve said this before but it is worth repeating. I feel that full and final analysis, and interpretation of all this data will not be possible until we have a wider representation of Local Guide levels so I’m hoping that more Local Guides will participate. Statistically we need a minimum of 30 at each LG level. So your help in spreading the word will be helpful :grinning:

  1. Below is my Star Photo

  2. It is: The building of the Ministry of Agriculture. It was decorated nicely on the Victory Day of Bangladesh. It is a normal photo.

3.I took/uploaded this photo on: 16 Dec 2019 (Source: Photo’s metadata Date created)

4.Is it my best photo? Not really, but it has a very artistic view with light and colors.

  1. Why do I think it’s my “star photo”? If you look closely you will see that artificial light and natural light, the horizon of the twilight, has given it a very nice look.

  2. I think the important factors that contribute to making a top photo are:

A. The relevance of the photo with the place or business
B. The importance or popularity of the place or business itself.
C. Quality of the photo especially clear and bright

  1. The camera I used is: I used my Smartphone Huawei Y7 pro

  2. My total number of photos is: 2577

  3. My total number of photos views is: 1261633

Thanks for participating in this Leaderboards post @MukulR . Would you please check to verify that you have in fact selected the correct photo as your “star photo” because when I view your profile Google is telling me that your “star photo” is in fact your photo of Japanese Universities Alumni Association Bangladesh! On this, the greatTaking a screenshot of your star photo instructions kindly created by @Erik_van_den_Ham might be helpful! Also check the upload or created date.

All the best

That looks much better @MukulR but interestingly when I view your profile on Windows desktop I see that your “star photo” is your photo of Japanese Universities Alumni Association Bangladesh as mentioned in my previous message. My curious mind leads me to ask if you would also check this on both mobile and desktop and advise. Is it possible that you may have a different “star photo” on mobile and desktop?

I checked both the Mobile and Desktop version and in both cases photo of the Ministry of Agriculture is my star view photo @AdamGT . Please advise what to do now. Should I edit my submission with this new information. Please advise.
