My most popular Flickr image from 2007
This image wasn’t included in my favourites of 2007. According to Flickr though, more people viewed*, commented and favourited this than any of my other photos. It also appeared on the front page of Explore. I did check the explore page multiple times over a few days as the photo kept getting visited and it was quite odd – it would go up and down the list, it got to number 2 or 3, then would disappear for a few hours and come back again later. Quite how that works is anyone’s guess.
This was taken on the Chesterfield Canal between Worksop and Shireoaks on the Nottingham / Derbyshire border. It was taken with the modified Fuji S5600 and it’s virtually permanent Hoya R72 infrared filter. There wasn’t nearly enough sunshine in 2007 for me to really enjoy that camera, so I’m hoping 2008 makes up for that!
I’ll add this photo in to my 2007 favourite set to finish it off and draw a line under 2007. So, on with 2008!
