I surely will be entering this competition! This is great for an artist's artistic ability and great for the community!

by **Greg B** on Wed Aug 31, 2005 11:52 am

I would like to thank all those of you who have commented so favourably on my 10sec exposure shot. The comparisons with Malevich's White on White are flattering. And with the cover of The Beatles (AKA The White Album).

I couldn't enter this shot in the comp because of the PP work which has been done - in particular the application of the "Polar Bear in a Snowstorm" filter which was cranked in at 100%. I also tweaked the contrast.

Matt K, I cannot endorse the removal of the frame, the frame is fundamental to the internal integrity of the image, and a frameless version may create unrest and disharmony.

I have tried printing the image, but my otherwise wonderful i965 does not seem to have any white ink. Very frustrating.

by Mj on Wed Aug 31, 2005 12:39 pm

Greg... can you please advise... what aperture used... and even more important what white balance setting did you use :?:

It's always good to know how others have nailed difficult exposures like these for future reference.

Greg, I'm pretty sure you could MacGyver something up so that your printer can include a white ink using white out/liquid paper

*Shameless Bump!*

Greg you are undoubtedly the Salvador Dali of the group. Brilliantly creative but quite mad. :lol:

Actually it is midnight on the 19th

THATS THIS WEEKEND!
So get busy

by **DionM** on Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:20 am

I am planning to enter, but I need a new tripod I think. My light Manfrotto doesn't like my heavy 20D and heavy 70-200.

(Birddog, did you get my PM about the alum Gitzos? :wink:

)

Dont rush it too much...you need to spend at least 10 secs

by **MHD** on Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:41 pm

Just 5 so far... But lots of interest (ie new registations) so I am expecting a big rush on the weekend!

I think this challenge is not the easiest one, though handholding is out of question + people have to have the sturdy tripod system + techniques.

by **DaveB** on Mon Sep 12, 2005 9:48 pm

Out of interest I search through my database and found 20 images with 10s exposures. I like some of them a lot (and I have some ideas for a few more) but the challenge now is choosing a single image to submit!

Got home today to find Mr.UPS had delivered an RRS L-plate today. It's nice to get presents, even if you had to pay for them yourself! :lol:

You're spot on there. Did a shot a couple of nights ago of the sky (see potofgrasses test page) at the night sky and got a wiggle from the start of a plane trail - that happened when the shutter wobbled the camera.

by **MHD** on Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:18 pm

hehe... Bugger!

Well better get entering... and Mr UPS might deliver a new 2GB CF card!

by **MHD** on Wed Sep 14, 2005 10:19 am

Time for the daily BUMP!
Get you images in now!

by **MHD** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 10:28 am

Two new entries overnight, taking the total now to 7...

Come on!

by **Potatis** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:14 pm

How do I enter? I PM'd MHD a couple of days ago, but haven't any info?

by **Alpha_7** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 5:18 pm

Just wanted to check, cropping is allowable PP right ?

Wait until MHD sees this message and he should respond...

by **MHD** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 6:53 pm

I registered you...

Let me check
[quote][/quote]

by **MHD** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 6:57 pm

Yep... I sent the details to your email account... let me know If I need to send again

by **Potatis** on Thu Sep 15, 2005 10:15 pm

Thankyou very much. I apologise, I found that my email filter had decided to send it to the deleted posts folder. I found it eventually.

by **Potatis** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 12:38 am

I don't seem to be able to upload my photo. Is it supposed to be done via the website "add photo" menu? It won't send.

[Edit: All sorted now, thanks MHD]

by **MHD** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 9:57 am

Two new entires over night!

Total of 9 entries and only the weekend remains!!

by **stubbsy** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 12:05 pm

I have three possible shots ATM, but no killer pic. I still have two days!

I thought you have all cover by the AW

by **Alpha_7** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 12:14 pm

The forecast isn't great, but currently its just very overcast, no actual rain.

And the weatherman has been known to get it wrong

by **leek** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 6:27 pm

OK... My entry is in...

I can't wait to see what people have got up to with this theme...
It should be fun...

by **gleff** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 6:32 pm

I was looking so forward to entering this challenge, but unfortunately, i've either not had the time or been sick...

Looking forward to seeing the other entries though.

Good luck everyone.

It's funny not being able to see the other submissions before the deadline. Probably lots of people took the same photo I did, and I don't know, so I can't change my entry to something more unique.

Ah well, there's the rub Potatis... I believe that that rule was introduced so that people wouldn't copy other's ideas... It works both ways I suppose...
I'd be surprised if anyone has taken the same photo as me though :-)

by **sirhc55** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 10:33 pm

I also believe that it made it a more equal by exposing (sorry :wink:

) them all at one time

by **MHD** on Fri Sep 16, 2005 10:37 pm

Yep... and I like the rule as it enables entrants to modify thier entries up untill the end date...
11 entries now

Come on all... If you are thing of entering make sure you register NOW! (unless you already are)

So how come 31 people voted for this theme and only 12 have entered??? :shock:

C'mon guys & gals... you have 30 hours left - plenty of time to still enter...

by **MHD** on Sun Sep 18, 2005 8:58 am

14 Entries!! Come on!!
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!
I want to see a mad rush of entries!

by **MHD** on Sun Sep 18, 2005 10:52 am

I'm nicking out to a BBQ in the next hour, back about 5pm so any pressing questions ask them now....

Dont forget to hide your image...

And, those taking an image tonight, Dont forget to ensure the date settings in your D70 are correct.

by **TonyH** on Sun Sep 18, 2005 8:55 pm

I've nervously put an entry in..... first of this kind of thing

Good luck to all participants :wink:
