[Billargh]

Meeh, give some snow. Massive lack of snow up near Newcastle, now it's just wet and slushy

 

[tierk]

I have a couple of old snaps but they are on my other PC which i have not setup since i moved homes (

Hope to get it up and running before the D Day!!

 

[tierk]

Right i havent had time to fire up the old PC so i have had to copy one of the oldies from FB.

Here goes.

1. View attachment 4847 _ Portugal 2008

2. View attachment 4848 - Qatar 2005/6

I really need to start playing with some of these pictures with photoshop but i never seem to have the time anymore.

**Edit**

For those wondering the one from FB is the second one.

I like picture 3.

I like picture 3.

That is one i took with the new canon. Went to the beach for a late night piss up and got stuck at low tide in the sand. Eight hours later and with a really fucked up back ache all i had to show was a couple of pictures and this was probably the pick of the bunch.

Needs a bit of shopping done to do it but it still not a bad effort considering i am still a newbie with the camera.

Guys, would it help to have a Photo Comp gallery where we can use the comment and rating system?

Perhaps a master gallery and then a sub gallery for each competition. Much easier and I can assign moderators etc.

Thoughts?

Sounds good; maybe worth doing a voting / poll thingy where it's anonymous?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Sounds good, as long as it's easily integrated into the 'forums' and isn't some offshoot somewhere else...

Personally I'd prefer to keep it informal, in the forum, so people can have a discussion not just about a particular image but about the images being submitted in general.

 

[Deebs]

It supports comments on the photo.

 

[tierk]

Would be nice to have a special section for the comp where we can see all the various comps and make comments and rate etc.

I know there are a few people on this forum that are very serious about photgraphy and i wouldn't mind getting some pointers from said people.

 

[DaGaffer]

Are we voting then?

 

[Deebs]

In an attempt to make it easier I have created the following:

Photo competitions - FreddysHouse galleries

As you will see it says voting is disabled so everyone can upload a pic and then the moderator can turn on voting from a particular date. As a test can you upload to the category and see if it does actually make it a lot easier, remember you can comment on the photos uploaded etc.

 

[Billargh]

Will you be adding a category for each competition Deebs? Just so people can look through previous competitions, give criticism etc.

 

[Ch3tan]

Things moved to the gallery in the past have tended to die, Botd for example. I would say use the gallery to upload and the enable us to link the image into the comp thread. The thread still seems the easiest way to organise it to me.

Yes, if people want to use it. I think upload to the gallery, vote using the gallery and then either discuss here or use the comments section.

Let me add a new category, done. Like this you mean?

It is definately easier to upload and rate images in the gallery but yes, comments can get lost inside the gallery.

 

[Billargh]

Yeah like that Deebs, but with the previous competitions aswell, 1 through 8. Assuming people would bother to upload their previous photos.

 

[TdC]

deadline is now expired. please bear with me as I faff up a judgement thread!

 

[TdC]

opening and unsticking to allow the gallery discussion to continue...
