Its time for PART 2! Closing this Sunday 20.11.05 11.59pm

[MHD]

http://www.potofgrass.com/gallery/7part2

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)

[Alpha_7]

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

[MHD]

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!

[Nnnnsic]

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

And self portraits are a no-no

[Nnnnsic]

And self portraits are a no-no

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

Including yourself.

[MHD]

We have our first part II entry!

Come on all!

[Alpha_7]

Bumpity bump, how many entries now ?

[MHD]

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!

And self portraits are a no-no

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

[Glen]

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.

[Glen]

Scott, just so everyone tonight observes your post,

Scott said Challenge 7 closes this Sunday, 20th November, 2005 at 11.59pm

[embi]

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

[Glen]

[sirhc55]

A little known fact: photographers can’t read

[Glen]

[Jonesy]

marco

[MHD]

21 great entries! COme on all!!!!

[Alpha_7]

I still can't decide what shot to use... it's too hard!

[MHD]

25 now... good work keep them coming!

[rokkstar]

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

[Nnnnsic]

Indeed.

Whoever it is, hide it!

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

[MHD]

28!

[Yedrup]

I'm in can't believe I managed to get both entries in without mad scramble toward the end ................ except for today that is oh well!! 50% no panic is better than my last efforts with 100% panic.

Cheers,
Terry

[Alpha_7]

Dammit, I can't decide...

[stubbsy]

Craig - ask Kate and be quick about it!

[Potatis]

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.

[Alpha_7]

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!!!

[marcotrov]

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?
cheers
marco

[Alpha_7]

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.

[marcotrov]

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

marco

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.

[marcotrov]

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
marco

[Alpha_7]

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

[PiroStitch]

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

[Potatis]

Finished and uploaded with 3 minutes to spare!

[Glen]

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

[Alpha_7]

Finished and uploaded with 3 minutes to spare!

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

[MHD]

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...

[owen]

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

Cheers,
Owen.

[Potatis]

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

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.

[Alpha_7]

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...

[Glen]

Thanks Scott, cant wait to see your handywork

[Heath Bennett]

rock on Scott

I can already see a few pics there!
