Some Statistics

We’ve taken a lot of pictures while we’ve been travelling and I thought I’d have a look to see what that could tell us about the countries we’ve visited…

We’ve taken nearly 7000 pictures over the last 100 days – most of which weren’t very good or were multiple copies of the same thing while I fiddled with some esoteric camera settings trying to get the sky just the right shade of blue. The ‘hit rate’ of photos which we deemed of acceptable quality to share was pretty consistent across countries at about 20% +/- 2%. Which still amounted to a staggering 1400 pictures which I’ve subjected the readers of this blog to over the past months (sorry).

Thanks to the wonder of maths I can unequivocally state that New Zealand is the most photogenic country at 80 photos taken per day, closely followed by Australia at 79 per day.

Based on these figures I think a quick apology to Kim is in order as I must have spent at least half my time with my face hidden behind a viewfinder.
