Is your favorite Gee Dub image part of the Top Ten?

I have over 4,000 images posted so far. I add an average of 20 new images every day. I created these albums to make it easier to see the best according to viewers and Ipernity. Surprisingly there is quite a difference between the 2 sets.

The "Top Ten" is based upon Ipernity's count of my images. This is determined by Ipernity and viewers of my posted images. These are not my personal choice for top ten, although some of them would make my personal top ten. Maybe in the future I will create my own personal top ten album (I don't think I could limit it to just 10 though).

These albums will be updated every couple months if there is a change in the top ten.

These albums consists of photos only from all categories of images.

I am not sure if it is really new, but I just found out how to do it, so it is new to me.

It is called PIP. I recently was looking at a new post by a friend and noticed that one of the images had several notes on it clustered together. When I moved my cursor over the notes a new image (slightly different than the main image) expanded in the frame. Immediately I though how cool. Now I can group several images together in one post.

I asked the friend how he did this and he graciously explained and directed me to group that has only PIP images. It's pretty easy to do. Here is a link to the group (PiP ★ Picture in Picture):

I often take continuous shots to make sure I get at least one good one. I also often shoot in exposure brackets. As a result I often times get several equally good shots of the same subject but slightly different. Posting a series of images slightly different usually diminishes the impact of the subject. Viewers pick one and just look at it and don't bother with the rest.

Sometimes I shoot a fairly complex image with several parts that could work as a good cropped blowup. Now I can combine all the details together in one image. Now the viewer doesn't have to download the image to zoom in to see some of the details. This is especially nice with some of my high resolution images.

Here are a few samples of images where I have used this new feature: (Use the link to see how PIP was used)

 You can get creative with where you place the PIP notes. There is not any limits as to the number of notes/images you can add, as far as I know. I think this is really great for the viewer as well as the poster. You can now post more images with just one post. It take a little planning and a little work but I think it is worth it. I will now keep it in mind when shooting and when editing.

Give it a try.
