Agrippa Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I love your enthusiasm Agrippa !.. keep that goin... you would be surprised how many hours go into these events.. just the planning and posting the initial "coming soon" post.. with all the different time zones communicating is not alway's "real time".. it may be hours before we can communicate a single message. and the Admin team spends untolod time policing the boards for scam sales etc. .. I do not envy them, it is not a "Glorified" position at all ! By all means Lani, I never meant to suggest that running a forum is an easy thing; I know all too well that it can in fact be a full-time job and more. Running a compo such this needn't be though, if you set it up right. A couple of the other forums I hang out at stage regular 2-3 monthly photo contests and they more or less run themselves. You do need a volunteer (or someone from the admin/mod team) to do little chores, but really it needn't be a big deal in terms of time spent. I'd volunteer myself if it wasn't for the fact that I work a lot of nights and have little or no free time when I do. Anyway, that's all a bit OT in terms of this thread, so I won't go on about it. If you think it's worth pursuing just give me a holler and I'll tell you how to set it up. Firmly on-topic I hope lots of folks sign up for this, since lots of nice pix would be....eh...nice.

I'd like to hear more later ... the difference with my mind set is I like the "human element" technology today is so mindless once it is set up it really takes away from the Humite aspect. this is the internet.. some say vitual reality... but when all I get when I phone a business is a recording to press a number ...I tend not to be sensitive or motivated is more the word...... to that business. sometimes you cannot substitute real feelings and communication.. if this site were totally automated it would not be the same.... we try to do these functions as "real time" as we can and have someone attending to members 24/7 but lets table this until later.. something good always comes out of discussions ..

mikephotog Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Can we submit more than one image? Does the watch have to be a rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Can we submit more than one image? Does the watch have to be a rep? the watch need not be a rep,... and the rules for the shoot will be set during the pre-contest prep ... so to be fair the format for the shoot during each round will be set before hand and the contestants will ahve a aloted time in which to complete the image ... this won't be one image and done .... it could be a certain colour background with lights or outdoors with a motif that everyone will follow.. so the rounds may involve numerous images with a different format and time line, for each image.. this is a "rough" idea..

lanikai Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think we'll give it a couple more weeks ... so we're sure that all have gotten the message.. if you are aware of members who have not been active lately .. give them a holla ! Call them in for the shoot !! This contest is not so much about the prize but .. Braggin rights and Fun !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 No I thought they were pretty poor actually. Technically, his photos were top notch. The skills he used were learned, not bought. However, he's not in this competition, so it's a moo point. A cow's opinion. It's moo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
