Hi all,
Well, after the previous call for votes a lot more votes actually made
their way to my mail box, in total 16 people (including myself) managed
to get their votes to me, and I think that's enough to determine the new
schedule. So, these votes resulted in the below overview (sorted). The
logic I used was to make the amount of votes (the first number that
follows the theme name - the higher, the better) leading, and then to
use the totals of the 'prioritised' positions each theme received (the
second column - the lower, the better) as a second key for sorting
between the ones with an equal amount of votes (note: the x means that
at least 1 person placed a non-prioritised vote on that theme; I didn't
really have to take that into account though).
Using this logic, the total list became (note: keep reading ahead, as
the final call is made below the list):
Technology 10 30x
Shadows 9 49x
Low Angle/Dog’s Eye View 9 52x
Rain 8 36
Silhouettes 7 43
Food 7 29x
Animals 7 39x
Still lifes 6 26
Colour 6 29
Toys 5 18x
Flora 5 20x
Signs 5 26x
Sports or Fast action photography 5 35x
Hands 4 14
Your living place 4 15
Opposites 4 28
Our offices 3 8
The human condition 3 11
Wide angle lens (35 or wider lenses incl those settings on a zoom) 3
11
Photos with white-color as main subject, and photos with black-color as
main subject. 3 12
Celebrations 3 14
Drama 3 16
Circles & Squares 3 17
Children 3 17
Commerce 3 21
Specific shapes 3 25
Speed 3 18x
Collection 3 5x
Normal lens (40-55 or eqv zoom settings) 2 6
Telephoto lens (75+ or eqv zoom setting) 2 9
Dealer's choice (Your Best Shot during the shooting interval) 2 11
Funny/bizarre shots 2 12
Mud 2 17
Creative use of shutter speeds and/or f stops 2 20
Existing art 2 2x
Bad photos 1 5
Family 0 0
Your least favorite lens (use your least favorite lens) 0 0
Your favorite lens (use your favorite lens) 0 0
Now, using that logic, the top 8 perse would become:
Technology 10 30x
Shadows 9 49x
Low Angle/Dog’s Eye View 9 52x
Rain 8 36
Silhouettes 7 43
Food 7 29x
Animals 7 39x
Still lifes 6 26
However, with the very small voting difference between the themes "Still
lifes" and "Colour" themes on the one hand, and the semi-overlap (or
rather: similarity) between the "Shadows" and "Silhouettes" themes as a
theme, I decided to come to the following themes (in this order):
Technology
Shadows/Silhouettes
Low Angle/Dog’s Eye View
Rain
Food
Animals
Still lifes
Colour
I'm happy with it, and I hope so is everyone else. :)
Cheers,
Olafo
PS: I'm still not receiving any list mail (I'll sort that out later when
I have some more time), so in case you'd like to reply, please send a CC
