Most of my fav's are instantaneous. I get a feeling as soon as I see the thumbnail that this shot will be a fav. Occasionally I need to see the enlarged image before I fully appreciate it. I never, ever, fav because other people have fav'd, fav'ing is a very personal thing for me although sometimes I fav shots I see on the PP even if I don't follow the person. So here's the thing, I noticed the other day that I now have over 1000 fav's. Is this excessive? Tell me how many fav's you have and the latest shot you fav'd. Here's mine by @rich57
not excessive at all,,its all about personal choice,just like you described. I haven't a clue how many faves I have collected,,but I do know that I like to go back and look at them over again. I get lots of inspiration from them, and I just enjoy them too.
I Fav a lot, I fav everything I want to look at again, the things that make me go Wow, or even a technique that I want to try, For me Favs are
win-win, I can easily find interesting photos that I want to see again and the person receiving knows that I appreciate their photograph or technique
the photos by @maiuniverse blow me away, they are actual photos of a salt lake in Bolivia
I just went through my favs. I have a fondness for emotions. I don't think this person is doing the project anymore. We didn't follow each other. I still love it.
I have 292 faves, I never fave because others have and I still love every fave! Heres my 292nd by Michelle Young (@michelleyoung), I love the image and its great to see her back. : )
I fav very much on gut instinct...I see it, I love it...and I have an enormous number of faves. They are all shots that I want to go back to. This is my latest. (as of just before I looked at this commentary thread) @aslessknownsu
@psychographer: You are a most appreciative person!! I have about 250 faves and thought that was a lot! I only fave if it strikes a big chord with me. They are lovely to look back through when I can find a minute. (hahah) This is the latest one, from Nan @catwhiskers who is doing wonderful stuff with her Hipsta at the moment.... thought the clouds, light, reflection, colour were all wonderful!
I'm 9 months in with nearly 200 favs, this was my last by the wonderful Angelina Lovington @f365 . I'd be interested to know if there was any way of working out the totsl site average , ie favs per month or week or something.
So far, I have fav'ed 145 photos. (And I'm 159 photos into my own project.) Fav'ing for me is a case of "falling in love at first sight". So I guess it's personal. I have fav'ed photographs where I was the only one fav'ing it. I suppose that should be the case since what appeals to one person may not always appeal to another.
The latest photo I've fav'ed is of Linda's egret. @grannysue
I agree with you Lisa, I am selective about my fav's, sometimes it's a feeling, sometimes it's the colour, the moment....many factors make up my mind. Often it's a memory the photo gives, the tones, the feel.
My latest fav is by @ulpiphotos, I just love her use of colour and emotion.
I have 72, and I'm in my second year. Although I love many, many photos on this site, I only fav pictures that really wow me for some reason or another, it could be the skill shown, the technique, or even a picture that makes me smile :)
I'm on my second year and have 609 favs - the latest one below. I was so dead tired yesterday that seeing this picture brought me a little peace - and the colours are so dreamy. So, total fav. I would probably have way more favs but don't have a lot of time for 365 - usually just post my shot and run. :)
I just posted my 324th photo and I have 862 FAVs. I would probably have a couple thousand if I really saved all of my favorites. There is just so much talent her I can't help it! My latest fav is by @cornefunproject
I have 360 favs....My taste is diverse, which is reflected in my favs. I fav anything I would like to be able to look at again without going to someone's page and searching for it. It does not have to speak to me... if that was the case, I'd hardly have any favs.... I fav what makes me go "wow" or "omg".... I fav something because it is technically flawless.... I fav something because it is original.....I fav something because I can imagine it on a calendar, in a magazine, in a museum, on a greeting card, etc. I would never be finicky with favs because for me, personally, that seems almost self centered. Also, there are people on here that are self proclaimed novices and when I see them post a photo that is a dramatic improvement, I fav it, because they deserve the kudos. A fav can serve as a motivational tool, and/or as inspiration to the people that are newer to the hobby.
@amyhughes this is so sad!!! But beautifully haunting as well (Torn by Chris Wang) oh my goodness - he was the very first person to comment on a pic of mine! Thanks for sharing :) @chriswang
generally my favs are instantaneous as well... i almost never consider whether others have fav'd or not... i fav things that i really like and will want to look at again, capture something or display a technique i might try to emulate some day, or that just plain ol' make me laugh...
i've been around for 4 months now and have 178 favs...
I've found myself to be a little stingy with my fav's. I have no idea why. But, I fav instantly it seems. Here is my latest, just done a minute ago by @edie
I am well into my third year so I have loads of favs (1,081 of them!). I fav for lots of reasons - my latest was faved immediately because it made me smile. Thanks, @gurry!
I fave for lots of reason's also..I am just going into my 5th month here and have 480 fave's I thought that was alot untill i saw some of your number's!! Love to FAVE!! because there are so many photo's that instantly put me in awe! This is one of my most recent one's by @nikki
My last fav was for Ariel @carmel. I have a lot of favs - like 1600 - but I have over 700 followers and get up to 100 comments on my pics so I cover an incredible number of other people's pics a week:
Some days I fav a lot, others not so much, but each time I fav I either love the shot from the first glance, am amazed by a technical aspect of the shot or feel some sort of emotion when I see it. I have 197 fav's and this is my most recent by Marie @marieooi
I have 593 favs and usually I FAV instantly as the image makes me say "Wow!" out loud and/or I immediately wish that I had taken it! This was my latest from @bugik
No, not excessive at all! I am in Year 2 and have over 2000 favs to date, but like you I only fav the ones that I truly love not because of the person. Here is my latest
I already have 171 fav's Here is my latest one. I LOVE this shot.
