The 8th UK South East "Will somebody please start a new thread" gossip thread

BATTLE OF THE CLUBS entries here:

https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=10037210#po​st10037210 for the Portrait round

and here:

https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=861327 for the Landscape round.

If you have any ideas or suggestions on the wording I'm all ears!

added my portait one already..

Need to have a think about landscape..

Great.

I put the Landscape thread up too as the deadline for that one is similarly short - 7th May!

Haven't had a chance to check out the contest rules yet. But is there no stipulation that the picture should be taken during the month in which the theme is running?

I just want to make sure we know if anything is disqualified from submission.

Wendy

No, no such stipulation.

my understanding was it had to be new photos - otherwise there's no incentive for creativity flowing on a monthly basis - as we'll all be looking through our old photos?!

(that said I haven't read the small print!)

New info, can entrants also please upload their photo to the POTN gallery on DSLR USER website here: http://www.dslruser.co​.uk …le&act=clubprof​ile&id=511

PM me for the login details.

The images need to be added to our club gallery (max size 72dpi, 842x594 pixels) so that the 3 shots selected can easily be entered into the competition before the deadline. If any of the shots are selected as winners DSLR USER will ask for hi-res shots.

Mike so all our entries going into here aswell, thought we were going to vote between ourselves here then upload the top 3?

Sorry, I'm kind of working things out as we go along!

Right, entries for round 1 need to be posted to here: https://photography-on-the.net …p?p=10037210#po​st10037210 so that we can easily vote on them.

Then also upload your shot to the DSLR USER website on our club page here: http://www.dslruser.co​.uk …le&act=clubprof​ile&id=511

You'll have to PM me for the login details to access the club's controls for uploading.

If you make a new gallery in your own name we can keep a track of who's shots belong to who.

Hope that makes sense?!

So we all enter our one shot there and then we vote on them here to put a top 3 through? So there's no time stipulation? At least it makes the first short notice deadline easy to hit.

can I join? Never did this sort of stuff before.

So Im warning you now - Ill be crap!

Uh no not really,

Suggestion, we upload our shots here on POTN up to the closing date, then vote etc. then upload at the correct size to the club website? having entries spread over two sites kinda can confuse the issue......IMO

Open to your suggestions though

Enter the shot over at DSLR USER so that it is in the club gallery and also enter it on the comp page I created here as it will make it easier for the voting.

There is a time stipulation as far as when the deadline for entries is but not for when the shot is taken.

For the first couple of rounds in the competition we don't have much time to get our entries together but I will post the full list of rounds and themes which will hopefully encourage us all to get out and shoot for the theme instead of digging through our archives.
