This one's hot off the press (so to speak). It's a 6 minute long exposure that I captured tonight while out near La Pulente in Jersey. The shot was taken about 40 minutes after sunset.

La Corbiere lighthouse can be seen in the lower left (the light burst). The light trails in the background are from a passing ferry that happened to come into the frame as I was getting the shot.

In order to avoid a light trail coming to an abrupt stop along the horizon, I had to overexpose the shot by 60 seconds. This gave the ferry time to exit the frame to the left before I ended the exposure.

A flower captured yesterday on my walk to work. I got as low down as possible in an effort to get this one at eye level.

How do the PERSONAL TOPs of G+ Photos Work?

1) Any photography enthusiast can create a PERSONAL TOP consisting of his/her own Google Plus photographs. This means any existing PERSONAL top has been created by the author of the photographs that are in the TOP; there are no PERSONAL TOPs that were created automatically.

2) Only G+ photographs published by you in one of your Google+ posts should appear in your PERSONAL TOP. This means any posts you have reshared or your own posts without a G+ photo should not appear. No GIFs should be in the TOPs.

3) Contrary to the DAILY TOPs are the PERSONAL TOPs sorted solely on popularity - we use Plus PopRank to sort these. The Plus PopRank formula is: Plus PopRank(of a post) = +1s + (2 x comments) + (4 x reshares)

Example: Let's say that a particular post has 25 +1s, 10 comments and 3 reshares. This means its Plus PopRank is 57 (= 25 + 2x10 + 4*3).

The Google+ TOPs on PhotoExtract

You can find two kinds of Google Plus TOPs on PhotoExtract.com:

1) Plus Extract TOPs - DAILY sets of TOP G+ photographs, which were chosen by an algorithm that combines automatic steps and manual curation. These DAILY TOPs are NOT based solely on popularity, and users with a small number of followers have a chance to be featured in the TOP.
