Hmmm, it seems a lot of people are keeping their powder dry at the moment :lol:

Five entries so far, five very different interpretations of "a different perspective". It's going to be interesting when there are 40 different perspectives of a different perspective, if you know what I mean

Have to go and have a lie down now, my brain hurts thinking about it......

New entry: Gentle Extraction
New Entrty: Looking through one barrel - and down the next

Posted: **Tue Feb 15, 2005 11:02 pm**

Yippeeee, heaps more pics to look at.

I don't know about everyone else, but i find shooting for a purpose (the challenge) to be difficult, not because of the subject, but the case of too much thought went into this pic thing, rather than just looking and finding something nice to photograph and then doing just that.

Anyone else get this???

Posted: **Wed Feb 16, 2005 12:05 am**

Yes, Steve I know where you are coming from

Posted: **Wed Feb 16, 2005 12:38 am**

Yeah, I understand... just shoot and accidentally apply the theme to your image.

Posted: **Fri Feb 18, 2005 9:12 am**

10 days left!

Posted: **Fri Feb 18, 2005 9:19 am**

Looks like a few people are keeping their powder dry, MHD

Posted: **Fri Feb 18, 2005 9:27 am**

This topic certainly is a challenge! Thanx Craig - hmm...so I have 10 days to get my act together eh? Or MAYBE I have posted? (loox surrepticiously at MHD)

Geoff.

Posted: **Fri Feb 18, 2005 9:31 am**

I believe that with a challenge of this nature it is a brave man/woman who makes the first post.

MHD - expect a veritable flood of entries at the 10th hour :roll:

Posted: **Fri Feb 18, 2005 10:57 am**

Screw the 10th hour. I wonder if MHD will accept entries posted at 11.59 or 12.00 (as opposed to 12.01)...

Posted: **Fri Feb 18, 2005 11:00 am**

That depends on the clock in the mail server... which may or may not be slow

If it's like most server clocks, it should be at least one hour behind.

Loz,
PM MHD.

Posted: **Fri Feb 18, 2005 8:29 pm**

I'd start by turning on the camera and taking some pictures.

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 11:56 am**

New entry: The Fruit Bowl

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 1:23 pm**

Disqualified entry: Central Station

EXIF headers indicate that the photo was taken before the comp opening time

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 1:32 pm**

Controversy in the ranks already!!!

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 1:43 pm**

bummer, I really liked that one

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 1:45 pm**

Maybe they should have used the EXIF editing tool that was described in this thread :roll:

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 1:50 pm**

Leek, would like to think that all who enter the comp enter in the spirit of it and don't drag out that great shot from last year. :wink:

I hope its a throurough exif editing tool...

The viewing tool I have gives me everything, and I mean EVERYTHING in a photos headers...

Of course... So would I....

I was only joking... :lol:

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 2:31 pm**

Maybe the date was wrong in the camera :shock:

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 2:35 pm**

Maybe, but prob. not.

Damn, cause I liked that image too.

New entry: World passes by

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:00 pm**

MHD, I think you are going to be busy on the 28th :wink:

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:03 pm**

Strewth!

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:08 pm**

You know I liked that image also.

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:13 pm**

You don't perhaps wanna tell us who that person was who stuck it in there do you, so we can beat them over the head with cans of Spam?

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:15 pm**

They can identify them selves if they want

and yes... I liked it too...

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:32 pm**

Just out of interest MHD, did you notice the exif or was it a visitor to the site?

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:44 pm**

Nnnnsic wrote:You don't perhaps wanna tell us who that person was

Oooh Oooh - I know! I know!

:twisted:

P.S. I liked it a lot too...

Edit:

Sorry to be annoying... but I spotted it as soon as the photo was posted (but won't divulge who / how) ...
I didn't twig about the photo date though...

I'm sure it was a misunderstanding... After all, the way I read the rules, I thought that the image had to be shot in January and then submitted in February - I thought it was a bit strange :oops:

Otherwise I would have posted a better photo :evil:

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 9:58 pm**

Like almost all errors it was pointed out by a fellow user

I rely on others as well as myself to find these errors and encourage it!

I do give things a cursary look but am usually buggered when I do it!

Posted: **Mon Feb 21, 2005 10:24 pm**

I am sorry for who posted it too, as I also liked it a lot. I am sure it was a misunderstanding too. There is another photo I think that is on the edge, but I don't believe it will have any material effect on the outcome, so will mention it to MHD after closing. My condolences to the person who is out.

Posted: **Tue Feb 22, 2005 9:03 am**

It was me!!!!

Sorry guys (I have just noticed this post and would have posted earlier if I had seen that I was the centre of my first D70 forum controversy

)

Actually what happened is that the Theme for the comp was announced and I immediately went out shooting. I didn't even read that there was an 'eligible after' date. I thought that once the Theme was announced we were on. My dumb mistake. I should have read the post more carefully. Not trying to cheat I promise (that would have been easy with an EXIF editor).

The picture was taken on around 20 December 2004 (I think that the Theme was announced early December).

The real bugger is that since I took that shot I thought I really couldn't top it so I haven't tried that hard.

Maybe I'll stand on my head and take a picture of a duck this weekend.

Cheers

hehe... Sorry Andrew... I liked that one!

Anyhoo,

new entry: Windows

Posted: **Tue Feb 22, 2005 9:10 am**

Jonesy, you poor bugger! We are not meant to talk about individual entries, but as you are out I think it is fair to say it was well received. Frustrating for you. You may want to check with MHD, I am not sure if you are out for the rest of Challenge 3.

Posted: **Tue Feb 22, 2005 9:13 am**

No... I will allow re-entry given that no one can identify the re-entry being his...

This is the advantage of an early entry, if it was later I would say no... Usually I manage to pick these things up by carefully looking at the EXIF but as ajo's was one of the first ones in it slipped past...
