Not that I'm passing any judgement they are great shots all of them and I'm sure sometimes getting a pick on a busy day,using fluffy as the fall back is quite convenient
But if we had to total up the pics which would be the winner
1. Pets
2. Flowers
3. Insects.
It is between insects and flowers...wow. Hard one. I think insects make the PP more, but I t hink there are more pics of flowers. And speaking of the " not passing any judgement" ... one thing I realize now is that it is not just about the end result, it is about the "getting of the photo" that counts too. I just posted another Halloween Pennant dragonfly, but to me, it was about learning to use my camera, this time,in low light, and also about how this one was more cooperative, so I tried to get diff. angles Some shoot them because the process is a de-stresser the crazy, modern world day most of us work....so even though there are many insect pics...a times, it's what is behind the scene/photo, the process, that counts . You know?
@espyetta , i agree 100% with what you are saying. now, i have to go look at your dragonfly:) @steeler , i think #2 is the most photographed, but it's gotta be close between flowers and insects
3. insects - because they are a challenge - the damn things move all the time, so not only are you trying to focus and get the lighting to be able to take them, but they aren't still either.
But you missed beach scenes and sunsets off your list - lots of them on the popular page
People photograph what interests them and what is available to them. Judging from the "Latest" page, there are a LOT of kid shots, they just don't make it to the pop page very often. I would love to take ocean views but it'd be a long drive ... ;-) So for me, it's cool to get 2 and 3 in the same shot. Maybe someday I'll even manage to get a shot of all three together.
We photograph the world around us, in my case insects and flowers, no little people around my house. In the winter it gets very dull, so then I really hit the flower shops and places with tons of color. So my vote would be flowers...but now being a teacher, I am going to go count and see which one wins in my albums. :)
Flowers. I have lots of them because it's summer in my part of the world. Come autumn then winter, I'll be back to boring still life shots of things inside the house like mugs and shampoo bottles. :-)
I think it would be #2 or #3, at least in my project. :)
I love taking pictures of insects. I think it's the challenge of trying to catch them keeping still for a couple of seconds.
We shoot what we love and what is available to us. Moms shoot their kids, gardeners shoot flowers, and when the weather sucks, we shoot what's trapped indoors with us, like our pets.
i think it is a toss-up. what about birds? tons of bird photos that are not pets. are you counting what is considered popular or makes it to the popular page? because that seems to leave out landscapes, most people, - i don't know , the page makes no sense to me.
@sunnygreenwood You hppe to get all three together! Now THERE's a "photo challenge" someone ought to post. The next winner of the theme challenge should make that the theme! Soooo funny, Anne!
My vote is #2. I know I've hit the garden on more than one occasion for a quick shot. My other quick fall back is landscape. Just happens to usually have a flower in there somewhere.
I would probably agree that it's flowers. For me, I never photographed flowers until I came onto 365 and saw denisedaly's fantastic shots and I tried to learn from her. I think looking at other photos on 365 stretches us to try and go outside our comfort zone and as a lot of people photograph their gardens and what is in them, others will follow!
@steeler you forgot children- unless you consider them to be pets (o: I don't know it's a toss up, but I guess I'll say I see more flowers than bugs- although a lot of times the two are combined; and possibly more flowers than pets too. I think flowers.
before I joined the 365 community, friends of mine we already here and they kept talking about it, and I thought to myself "I bet its full of flowers and pets" but I was surprised when I joined and discovered that the 365 is full of kids!
LOL at @lisjam1 comment, I know how hard wildlife is to shoot so I am amazed how many Squirrels are on here! I reckon they're the Northern Hemisphere's answer to our seagulls.
Insects take up 26% of my project to date, scenery is second with 20% and then flowers third at 16%. Inanimate stuff like still lifes and statues are 14% and birds close behind at 11%. Frogs are only 8% of my project and Mammals are 4% which includes 2 photos of pets. The last 1% is selfies, lizards and crabs - kinda their own genera those three!
My shots that have made the PP tend to be Frogs and/or Birds. I think I have only had one or two Insect shots make the PP but my most viewed and commented shots tend to be Frogs, Owls and the odd Selfie - emphasis on odd.
I'll say #2 but notice it also seems to depend on the time of year. I'm seeing a lot of insects right now because they are full force in the summer. There were a lot of flowers in the spring time when they were all in bloom. I love looking at them, though, no matter what time of year it is.
I never took pictures of flowers before I came to 365. I took my first flower pictures and posted here cause I felt left out that I never posted a flower picture. So, I say more flower pictures than any other.
:):):)
Flowers....I'm one that posts A LOT of them...they bring me so much joy from my gardens!! It's like a celebration for me every time a new one opens. Yeah...maybe I'm weird..LOL!!

Of my 28 photos as of today, 2 of them are sunsets... I don't have flowers, pets or insects (no macro lens)...
And yeah... Landscapes...
I've done a few pictures of my dog, and a couple of flower shots - no insects, though.
I do take quite a lot of sunrise/sunset photos as well, and I know other people do too, so I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned that!
