When you go into someone's portfolio, do the titles influence which images you decide to open?
 03/24/2005 04:30:33 PM · #2
Nope, don't influence me at all

If I see a less formal title, or one with .jpg on th eend, I do think of it more as a draft and I don't open those as much. The thumbnail influences me as well.

Not usually. Has to be enigmatic or a real grabber to draw me in by words alone.

It depends. If I'm scrolling down the first page of someone's profile, then I see only a limited number of images near the top. Those I'll view only if the image "grabs me". The challenge entries are listed chronologically by title. Those I typically view according to the title (but sometimes by challenge or where the photographer 'placed').

No.

Edit: But I do appreciate a good "Photographer's comments". It is so disappointing to open an interesting image and there is nothing about the contents or what moved the pg to do what he/she did.

No.
I go by thumbnails. I do appreciate that some images display well as thumbs and some don't so I open to full size anything that even vaguely intrigues me. I only notice titles at that stage.

No

I don't look at the titles until after I look at the image.

I don't necesarily look at the titles but sometimes they jump out at you and you can't help but to read them.

Generally....image first but it all works.
 03/24/2005 05:25:52 PM · #10
Nope. All about the pretty pictures.
 03/24/2005 05:43:02 PM · #11
No
 03/24/2005 05:44:53 PM · #12
nope never. Somtimes after i have looked at something that interests me i will then look at the title, but only then. Same with voting has no influence on my voting either
 03/24/2005 05:50:40 PM · #13
Yes. I do look for the challenge first and then the photographer's title.:) Makes more sense to me.

With thumbnails, a title would have to, really, pack some punch or arouse my curiosity to cause me to open it. Once the image is up, in its full glory, the title becomes a more meaningful part of the presentation.

What he said, especially the "edit" part!

EVERYONE should follow this advice

I usually look for the nude pictures first then look at them for about an hour then go from there. :-)

Funny that... I feel the same way about the folks who leave me a score of 1 and can't be bothered to tell me why they think I operate a camera at about the same level of dexterity as a primate.

I don't care who you that is funny right there. I personally never rate below a 4. Used to be 5 but that was too high for ones that were trying to win the brown ribbon.
