But that seemed to open the spigot, so to speak. I’d been a Flickr user for six years before that image was Explored. But Flickr called it interesting just the same. I didn’t even bother to remove clutter from the background (such as the bottle of aspirin). I didn’t arrange the subject especially carefully.
My first Explored photo was a quick image I made to illustrate a blog post. If you think one of your photos was Explored, the Scout page at the Big Huge Labs site ( here) will tell you. Flickr otherwise gives you no heads up that your photo was selected. That’s where being Explored gets fun: your email blows up with notifications of all those Likes. Many people do browse Explore every day and click Like on the photos that grab them. Today’s Explored photos are always on this page for your browsing pleasure. A super-secret algorithm selects them based on their “interestingness” for other Flickr users to explore.
Each day, Flickr showcases 500 photographs from among that day’s tens of thousands uploaded.
