Gallery is open for submission!

Gallery 2 close voting commences: 11:59pm Sunday November 20th

Get to it!
(Remember to CAREFULLY check your EXIF before submission)

Posted: **Tue Nov 08, 2005 1:58 pm**

Good Luck everyone! Judging but the quality of part 1, there should be some absolute rippa submissions for part 2.

Posted: **Tue Nov 08, 2005 3:29 pm**

Indeed!

A few point:
*When you send me your registration be patient... it may take some time... (no net at home yet... have to do it at work when the boss is not looking)
*Register sooner rather than later... Registrations in the days leading up to the close may not be accepted..
*Keep in mind that this is a free entry competition with remarkable prizes! Stay happy and use the theme, competition and general camaraderie on this forum to improve your photography...

At the end of this part the entries from both parts will be combined into a voting gallery where you will pick the best ones!

Posted: **Tue Nov 08, 2005 7:12 pm**

Also, remember not to put any information that may identify you -- like your name, email, or web page -- in the EXIF data.

They're probably okay provided no one knows who you are.

Including yourself.

Posted: **Wed Nov 09, 2005 2:47 pm**

We have our first part II entry!

Come on all!

Posted: **Sun Nov 13, 2005 8:43 pm**

Bumpity bump, how many entries now ?

Posted: **Wed Nov 16, 2005 4:30 pm**

We have 7 entries so far so its time to get a move on...

Comp closes SUNDAY so NOW is the time to enter..

Furthermore I can not gaurentee that I will get to any new registration made after COB tomorrow...

Remember, if you think you may have difficulty entering (due to technical issues) enter SOONER rather than LATER!

I've been contemplating this idea, and wonder how a portrait of a dslruser breaks the anonymity rule unless the image suggests that it is a _self_ portrait and not one taken by another member?

Maybe I'm being picky, but I'm my most cooperative subject.

Rog, for some people that would break the anonymity rule, because of well known clusters of people (Eg a shot of Chryssine in a domestic setting not at a minimeet, would most likely be taken by Joe T). The reason for the anonymity rule is so that all entries are marked equally on their merits, without influence of friendships, etc or that Sydney members being better known are unfairly advantaged. It is not really designed as a chance for some members to play Inspector Clouseau though.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 4:38 pm**

Probably doesnt matter being so close to deadline and all, but someone hasnt hidden their image.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 4:46 pm**

Indeed.

Whoever it is, hide it!

But don't say "it's me!" or anything like that...

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 5:57 pm**

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 8:35 pm**

I'm in

can't believe I managed to get both entries in without mad scramble toward the end ................ except for today that is :oops:

oh well!! 50% no panic is better than my last efforts with 100% panic. :roll:

Cheers,
Terry

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 8:36 pm**

Dammit, I can't decide...

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 9:04 pm**

Craig - ask Kate and be quick about it!

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 9:37 pm**

I know it's last minute, but I will try to photograph something now. I wasn't going to enter round 2 because all my attempts were not competitive. But I should at least submit something.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 10:05 pm**

I've made my choice now, Kate's advice as she was sick of me looking at the all was to vote myself and the winner is now submitted.

Edit : Good Luck Doug!!!

CAn anyone help with posting onthe gallery 2 Challenge 7 photo comp
I've got to 'add photos' and a screen comes up asking select meta data you want to upload. How is this done to enter the comp? I just don't want to do anything wrong. I thought the metadata was automatically sent along with the image entered. Help please? :oops:

cheers
marco

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 10:43 pm**

Marco : the process I used, was to click add photo, then change the upload 5 photo's to 1 photo, let it update, and then browse to the wanted file, select it then add a Caption if you wish, then click the 'Go' button at the bottom.
Once it's finished uploading, remember to select Hide Photo, from the list of options.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 10:47 pm**

Thanks craig but what of the meta data how do i upload it? Talk about leaving it late! :shock:

cheers

I'm not sure what you mean, are you refering to the Exif data ? As long as it's on the file before you upload it, it should be viewable once you have uploaded the file, otherwise... I'm still a tad confused.

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:05 pm**

Thanks Craig . It says optional for meta data files. I have just saved the image as jpeg and I suspect the exif data that is needed is already embedded in the jpeg image.
Thanks for your help Craig. I'll go ahead and post.
cheers

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:22 pm**

Glad to have helped, not much longer until the entries close!

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:48 pm**

Finally took one and decided on one. Took longer to decide on the image than taking the damn thing :S

Posted: **Sun Nov 20, 2005 11:57 pm**

Finished and uploaded with 3 minutes to spare!

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2005 12:35 am**

Doug, you leave it a little close for comfort. Looking forward to seeing all the images when Scott wakes up.

Glad you got an entry in Doug... but as Glen said 3 minutes is a little close

Reminds me of submitting CompSci assigments electronically, always with 1 minute to spare

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2005 7:18 am**

comp is closed off... will start revealing part 2 entries soon and building the voting gallery!

Well done all... have not done a count yet but well over 30 entrires...

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2005 7:49 am**

Hey MHD. Thanks for all the time you put into this.

Cheers,
Owen.

It was too close. I post-processed for just under a minute, when I needed about three minutes. With more time I could have made my entry look a little better, but not much better. At least I put something in, even though I know it is not competitive. Before I wondered what the point would be of putting something in that was not competitive, but in the end I'm glad I did.

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2005 8:25 am**

It's all about having a go, and learning from your entry and all the others I think

MHD : A very big thank you for your tireless efforts in running the technical side of the challenge, especially since you were moving etc...

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2005 8:38 am**

Thanks Scott, cant wait to see your handywork

Posted: **Mon Nov 21, 2005 8:44 am**

rock on Scott

I can already see a few pics there!
