Please Attach your photo if it has been Photo of the Hour

I made this album to keep a record of the Photo's of the Hour on Summit Post. Some are left wondering "What is Photo of the Hour" which it is the highest rated photo within that hour, many times your photo doesn't even need a vote to be photo of the hour, so don't be surprised if you see a few of your own here.

Special Thanks to Ryle for attaching the real photo of the Hour to this album, which means I will be able to have every photo of the Hour from here on.

Hi Matt, did you take over the page from Josh Lewis? And do you maybe have any idea where he has been, he was deleted as a user!
Cheers Lodewijk

What rules did Josh break by interest to get banned from SP.

I can see the reason for removing him on cheating...
Well the warning is there for others.

He did delete his accounts in August... then he made a forum admitting it and he got deleted. Shame...

That's like going to jail for knocking off a liquor store for 50 bucks. He should have at least gone for POTD! Ha ha!

No, no, no! I voted on my own photo. It was an old scam that I did. But that's history. I transferred this album to another member before I got banned which it was then deleted, and then Matt restored it. At least this album remains for the current "Photo of the Hour".

does someone come on here every hour and pick a new photo of the hour? or how does that work?

It is judged automatically by the photo with the highest number of votes that was created in that hour.

No worries, dude, it happens. When 4,348,948 pictures get submitted every hour, not everyone always sees or votes on everything!

There really are so many picts submitted every hour ?

Then I'm wondering why my crummy picts get chosen...

Actually my crummy pictures are the reason for the pseudo (suddendescent) I chose considering the lack of amazing topography to uncover at home. To explain more clearly; I figured that I'd start off acceptably with a nice image of a rocky mound. Although I knew that after showing unimpressive topography I'd gadually fall from grace !... But I haven't reached the point where I'd showcase the mound in the middle of my home town (Montreal Qc)!

Actually there is sensational mountainous scenery to uncover here in Quebec. But nobody wants to visit...

Happy holidays everyone !

I got two photos of the hour yesterday. Both from a single batch of six photos. They were uploaded about 1 minute apart. How did that happen?

I really think it just might be a random choice of photos uploaded. I certainly don't think that many of the photos of mine that have been chosen even compare to some of the incredible shots on SP. But I will gladly accept the acknowledgment!

I find it hard to believe the Photo of the Hour is even working at all. I've had a couple make it within moments of posting, before they even got a vote.

There are currently 873 photos (4.4%) in this album with no votes, some with just a few hits. Completely random.

Long story, Chad. Here's a summary. There used to be a POTH display here. It was based on the highest-scored photo submitted in a given hour. If no picture got a vote, then the first one submitted that hour got the honor. There was always a mad rush just after the hour to maximize "vote exposure," which was often a launching point to POTD for the photo crowd. Eventually, they removed POTH, but this silly album remained, and it self-attaches. So POTH means absolutely nothing, but some think it does!
