What was I thinking?! The first photo I faved on Flickr

[FishyFish]

On a whim today, I decided to see what the first photo I ever faved on Flickr was (approximately 11 years ago). I can only protest that my taste has changed...


Hamlins Bridge by Eric Baxter, on Flickr

To be fair to myself, my early faves list is not littered with ovecooked HDR shots (although there are a few more dotted around).

For comparison, this was the one I faved most recently:


TRI-X 400 2 by Otilia Jakab, on Flickr

Ah yes, the HDR hole

Should that not be tagged NSFE ...



Not Safe for Eyeballs

This is my first fav.
11 years ago HDR was striking and new and it was not unfashionable to kind of like it


I Brake for Sunsets by Joshua Cripps, on Flickr

I'd never thought to go back at look at my favourites history - having just had a look through, I have to say I spent a lot of time wondering "why on earth did I favourite that?!?!?"

Always irks me when I see overcooked HDRs with ghastly halos getting loads of likes on Facebook etc.

My first fav, sometime in early 2006


Eagle Lake Sunrise by Peter Bowers, on Flickr

Still pretty happy with that

This was the most recent addition

I'll confess to having created a few HDR atrocities myself. Just going back through my favourites now to see if my taste has changed since 2011... 31 pages! Yikes, I have more favourites than photos of my own! I do seem to have remained consistent though.

My first favourite:

I have a few similar shots myself now too!
