Yes, this is the better place, you are right.

So, some questions raised for this one.

Leek raised issue of image size...even at 72dpi, that a helluva image resolution you need!

Also, it appears you need to have an ABN as you need to issue a valid tax invoice if you are chosen as one of the 36 in order to be paid your $400...not sure whether you need to be registered for GST...

EDIT: Regarding image rescaling, Chris (sirhc55) posted this thread about PixelScale and Genuine Fractals....His image links are dead now, and I can't find a website for PixelScale...

Good questions,

if you find out - let us know.....

One of my teachers got into the Art & About Hyde Park walk two years ago, and one of my mates got two pictures in last year.

Anyone can do it.

That said, a lot of what I'd call "work about Sydney" isn't usually what's in it.

As of last checking, Genuine Fractals does NOT work with CS2.0, any of the versions, so if you want to get them working, you have to go lower.

Extensis' SmartScale I have no idea as I don't use it.

However, if you can get your shot printed onto a slide format, from what I recall about how it works, you deliver the slide and an 8 x 10, they take care of the rest (if you win).

Here is the site:

That extensis plugin for CS works a treat.

I've been thinking aobut this topic all day and what to possibly start taking shots of. I had a look at last years winner and frankly, am a little surprised it won. There were some cracking other shots. I'd be grateful if someone could explain to me why the winning shot was so worthy.

I fancy entering, not sure about my chances, but you gotta be in it to win it.
