I've only had one shot on Explore in 2 years on Flickr.
I think it is some formula of views/comments/favourites/number of groups its in etc etc, but there are guides out there on how to get photos into Explore more often, so there must be some logic to it haha!
I used to, but I can't be bothered these days. If people want to steal them, they probably will.
This was mine yesterday and the day before, 33 views yesterday, 35 the day before.

I got a cheap wired one from Amazon a few weeks ago. Seems to work well.
I also got a 10 Stop ND filter to try those cool looking long exposure daytime shots that Dan mentioned. I got the HiTech 10 Stop from a mate, but also looked at B+W ND110 as well.
Other accessories I got were the obvious...
Some really nice shots in here just recently. I got back from a 17 day trip to the US on Wednesday and started going through my photos today.
I was lucky enough to have a drive of this while I was over there:

Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned
Here are mine. I've spent cash on travel instead of nice cars. Can you tell?

Really like that light trail shot, Paul. Very clear and simple, but works so well.
This is my 2nd week shot, about 2 mins drive from my front door!

Really like the Newcastle shot, great photo!
This is my 2nd week of my 52 week project. Taken just round the corner from my apartment!

I'd definitely get Sandisk or Transcend, best quality and cards are so cheap that its hardly worth saving a few quid and getting a lower quality one.
You'll find them a lot cheaper online than Jessops. I just bought some Sandisk 8GBs for much cheaper than that. Just be aware of fakes at...
Thought I'd post this one up. The end of 2 consecutive years of taking one photo per day. The rest of the shots are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/v15ben/sets/72157625371292113/
Day 730: 31/12/11 - Success! by v15ben, on Flickr
Good effort with the StumbledUpon. I had a 1000 or so in 3 days from Reddit. If your shots get 'discovered' by one of those, it usually means big views.
This shot has 164 views yesterday, all from an unknown source. It's the local booze over here (in 5 litre bottles!)

Get the hell away from doing 365s or 52s :)
I have been doing a 365 since the start of 2010 and after 2 years I feel like I am not enjoying photography as much as I used to.
I am going to try and get back into enjoying shooting and not feel "forced" into having to take shots due to some ongoing...
