Ok part one is closed!

I just signed the lease on a new rental place so I am going mad... so it may take a day for me to open part 2...

Over the course of the day I will reveal the entries for part 1 (but not the owners of course

)

WELL DONE EVERYONE! I am blown away at the quantity and quality of entries!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:06 am**

Ok, images are now showing... Remember to keep any comments general, avoid commenting on individual images...

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:15 am**

Awesome!!

(hope that was general enough).

Well done to all the entrants!

Scott - I've noticed that some link to larger images and some don't (yet)...

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:22 am**

WOW!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:24 am**

Great works to all of you! Lot of verynice pics in the first series!
Good luck to all challengers!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:26 am**

Wow, there are some stunning mixes of art and science in there! Well done!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:26 am**

I would agree, awesome

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:27 am**

All of the above and more :shock:

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:32 am**

WOW!!!
I'm impressed by the quantity, quality, diversity and creativity of the shots... Well done guys!!!
Just when I thought I might get into the top-10, the bar has been raised yet again...
I'll just have to try harder for round 2... :lol:

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:33 am**

Woooooow,

great set of entries, certainly keeps raising the standard, well done to everyone that entered. And if you haven't, there is now part 2 to put in your entry, get moving :wink:

Cheers,

radar

WOW! there's a lot of different themes and thinking behind a lot of these images.
Well done all who entered.

Can't wait for round 2!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:37 am**

Very impressive line up of images there. I think round two is going to be even more creative/diverse because of them.
Excellent work everyone.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 10:05 am**

I've also just noticed that you cant click on a couple of pics.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 10:10 am**

WOW,

The bar is well and truly raised, the challenge has been made, everyone is going to have to be really innovative for the next round.

Good luck.

Cheers,
Terry

What impresses me most about this is the diversity of interpretations of the theme. A very high bar has been set for round 2. I thought I had a chance at the top in this round, now I think I have a chance at the bottom :cry:

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 10:42 am**

Congrats to everyone.......

I'm looking forward to seeing the results now in round 2.

Thinking..... Thinking..... Thinking......

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 10:48 am**

CRIEKY

well done everyone! and bring on part 2

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 10:56 am**

Good mix of camera's and techniques used and a few popular ideas.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 12:27 pm**

Some varied and excellent competition entries. Congratulations and good luck to all!
cheers

I have the same issue.

But 50 entries ... great stuff!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 1:29 pm**

Some terrific images, really varied concepts of movement as well.

I've got no chance after seeing the quality of them all

Good luck everyone!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 2:00 pm**

Incredible standard. I've really got to get back on my horse and try harder for round 2. :shock:

I hope the problem with some of the images not opening can be fixed soon.

So Doug, yours is the image taken from horseback? :lol:

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 2:10 pm**

Good stuff. It won't be easy to get into top 10 at all.

Are there any prises for bottom five?

Especially with another round to go. As if getting into the top 10 from these entries wouldn't be hard enough!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:28 pm**

whether or not there is a click from the medium size version depends on the size the photog entered

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:29 pm**

ooh... I see... Hang on.. investigating

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:30 pm**

Fixed...
I deserve a payrise

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:32 pm**

Done!
I'll triple it,

0 x 3 = 0

Thanks for fixing it!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:34 pm**

COnsider it done.... DOUBLE what you're your getting now :wink:

serioulsy thanks for all your work and efforts

**edit** ok Alpha 7 has the better deal!

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:48 pm**

Geez I really need to aim higher.....there are some awesome images there!

I agree.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 4:43 pm**

there seem to be several there which do not comply with the EXIF rules - some don't have sufficient, one at least still has a name attached.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 5:12 pm**

I don't seem to be able to read EXIF data on any of the pix in Scott's gallery with iExif. iExif seems to be working on this forum.

Does anyone have an explanation for why this would be so?

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 5:16 pm**

Trevor, check that you are trying to view the exif from the largest photo, not just the thumbnail. You might have to click on an image twice to get it to it's largest size.

Well, when I check they may be disqaulified... (that is the way the cookie crumbles I'm afraid)

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 5:19 pm**

Clicking on [photo properties] on the medium view will give you a abreviated exif

Disqualification may be a bit harsh Scott... Especially for this competition... People have submitted shots before that didn't have exif, but if they proved that it was taken on a DSLR - you've accepted it in the past...
As for the one with the name attached... that's unfortunate and I'm sure we can all forget if we saw it...
Many of the others are just as easy to guess as well (if you look at the camera type and have been paying attention in the Image Critiques section)...

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 6:35 pm**

What an outstanding group of entries. Pity i missd out! :cry:

Notwithstanding this a fine group of images from some very talented photographers. Congrats to all

Yeah, that seems to do it! Thanks.

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 6:59 pm**

Leek, maybe we should just ring him and ask him to remove it, he conveniently left his mobile number as well :lol:

I thought about that :-)

Scott - Please see my PM

Posted: **Tue Nov 01, 2005 9:01 pm**

i know that individual interpretation of a given theme is highly subjective but this is one of the few comps where i think the vast majority of entries have hit the mark.

some very nice captures depicting movement, well done.

Posted: **Wed Nov 02, 2005 8:19 am**

Ok Lets be entirely clear here...

To me what is important is what is shown up on the [photo properies] link on the comp page...

others may differ and can argue thier case to me..

If some one is keen enough to download the full size image and run it through an deep exif header grabber well... then...

Now I need peoples help with this, I am moving into a new place this week and am very busy, could the owners of images which they think are not valid PM me the title of the image (or even better a hyperlink)

To repeat, dont be overly worried if there is an identifying feature buried way down in the exif of the file, what is important is what shows up when you click [photo properties]

Posted: **Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:09 am**

Hi mate. As this is my first comp entered, I followed the instructions which did say to verify exif data using the photo properties option in the dropdown box. I wouldn't know if there was any other info in my shot, but according to the properties it is all good. And I agree that is all that should matter.

Posted: **Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:44 am**

The question is, can the member's who have rule infringements delete there images and re-submit them?

Posted: **Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:50 am**

Not after the comp has closed I am afraid...

However you can still enter in round 2 (just not the same image)

Posted: **Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:20 am**

I think all members and entrants should be aware that one unlucky soul has already been disqualified from part 1 (he or she is free to enter part 2) for having their details in the comment section. This is easy to check when you look at your image in Nikon View or run a program like Iexif or similar over it. Please check, as Scott cant with the huge volume of entries and it would be a shame to have anyone else miss out.
