I have a feeling this may have been discussed before, but I did a quick search and nothing jumped out immediately about it. But apologies if I missed it.
I love looking at the Top 10 photos every couple of weeks, problem is they don't change very often. Presumably because they are very good photos and people tend to do what I do; pop in, vote on a few (usually already in the top 10, unless I have time to rifle through the 'latest' photos) and pop back out again.
I think it would be a cool idea if UKC could have a Top 10 for each category; sport, bouldering, landscape etc. This would not only make it easier for people to see more of the better photos on UKC but also give them more of a chance to be voted into the overall Top 10.
This would also be good for people with specific interests. I appreciate all the landscapes and mountains that frequent the current Top 10, but would love to see some more sport or bouldering in it. I think this would happen if these photos became more available for people who have less time to rifle through the respective photo folders.
I think this would also encourage photographers to submit more photos of these disciplines. At the moment so many photos get little recognition because they are outshone by photographers that have a bit more time to get 'good photos'. Think a shot of mountain vs a dynamic movement shot. Obviously (debatably?) a 'good' dynamic photo is going to be harder to take than one of a mountain.
Besides being more work for UKC, is there really a strong argument against this?
