Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I think you are right Mick...the emphasis has to be on the fun element.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Edit... help please - have forgotten how to upload to gallery... which is where this should be I guess.

Golden flower...

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Sue go to the Gallery - use the link in post number one.
At the upper rt hand edge of the page there is a button that says upload photo......click on this, and it will allow you to browse your files and uplaod...you can add captions, titles, descriptions once the pic is uploaded. I hope this helps

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Margaret you are a saint and I am being a pathetic twit today. I went to the gallery and never saw that button. Though I did upload stuff to the gallery just after I joined AW before it stopped functioning.

I can't see anything in post no 1 which tells you to upload to gallery so I wonder if some newbies might have a problem if they've not done it before.

Anyway having spent some time going through my photos here goes...

PS Thank you very much for the help.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Your not the only one Sue I couldn't see how to upload at first.Join the club

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Well that makes me feel a tad better Frank. I guess folks who have done these comps before have a better idea.

Anyway, all done now - and I feel like a limp rag!

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Under the red writing(post number 1)....there is a link to the photo comp.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

There you go...I knew I didn't dream it.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I saw that and clicked on it but nowhere does it say - this is what you must do to have a go at the comp - and to upload photos go to top RHS and click on upload...

Sorry but I like things spelt out in words of one syllable and I always RTFM when I buy some new toy - which most men don't. That's why I get so annoyed with Richard, after three years he still doesn't know how to do the most basic things on his posh camera - total waste of money if you ask me.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I have to admit....I only refer to the manual when there is something I either don't know how to do...or have done so infrequently, that I have forgotten.
It is much more fun to fly by the seat of your pants......I have heard it called 'errorful learning'...you learn by your mistakes.

Anyway, the manual is so long winded!

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Sorry if i did not make things clear i will try again as you also did not see this in my first post:D:rolleyes::p

If you have any questions about the competition please send me a pm and i will try to answer you as soon as i can :D

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Hey Mick, I'd like to enter the competition, but I can't find a link to my cameras shutter button.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Sorry Mick no offence meant, I was having an off day yesterday. I knew the previous comps were in the gallery, my brain just wouldn't go any further.

Anyway thanks for setting it up, hope it's a success.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I,m going to do it, this year I'm def. going to do it---- I click on the link, new screen, I click on download photos, new screen ????? now what somebody hold my hand please.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Just fill in the boxes on the screen that appears after you click upload photos, that's the easy bit, finding that screen was what I found difficult (see my earlier posts :mad::(). Then click the button to upload the photo from your computer. Unlike posting in threads it appears you don't have to worry about file size when posting your pic which makes a nice change.
Good luck!

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Come on more photos needed in the competition
There must be more than 8 members on this site that has a camera :camera8:
get your photos in and have some fun
you have until friday 11th at 10pm to upload your photos then i will close the uploads and you will then have until Sunday 13th 10pm to vote.:camera8::camera8:

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

It may be an idea to ask for photos outside of the photo section as not everyone contributes or knows about this section.
I cant do this myself as it would look like I was touting for votes.

I also noticed that the number voting was small although the number of times a photo has been viewed can be high, as a new contributer I don't know if this is the "norm".

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I think that maybe some people wait until the date for uploads passes before making a vote.......thinking someone might upload something they like better...you can change your vote at any time...but maybe they don't realise this.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Thanks Mick, just noticed the request in forum news....... Could I also suggest that we have a prize of £1000 for the winner, ................just joking,................ £500 would be enough,............... still joking

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

How about a voucher for Jessops?

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Soon there are going to be no dedicated camera shops....we'll have to deal with the lumpen dullards who staff Currys and PC World.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

If you would like to donate it i will put it up as a prize no problem .....not joking :D:p

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I did think about it........but not for so long.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I think it would have upped the picture input, if that had been the prize.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I think we shouldn't forget that this is just a bit of fun.........so a two week holiday in the sun would do.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Perhaps somewhere with golden sands, sun and a treasure maps to discover a pirates hidden silver.

Ahhh, gold and silver, what a wonderful subject to return to.

I haven't entered yet, I've got neither about my person.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Well now you mention it................why havent you entered, I cant belive you havent a camera, either a camera or one on your phone, if you havent either then a pencil scetch would suffice.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

As I said in the post:-

I meant gold or silver, which is the subject for the competition, I keep looking for inspiration but so far...
:(

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Inspiration is harder to come by than either gold or silver! You could always buy a packet of Wrigley's spearmint gum in the meantime and take a snap of one of the little silver-coloured strips -then eat the stuff -something to chew on as you free your mind and look for that "je ne sais qua" which is obviously missing to your artistic soul -as an alternative I can recommend a toffee penny, which is wrapped in gold -my favourite out of a tin of Quality Street!:D

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

From now on I will look to Davemac for inspiration I've entered now, so he can stop nagging.

:D

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Mine too - unfortunately I have a tin of Roses here, not Quality Street - but I can get them when I go to the hosp - they have so many sweeties given to them they just leave them out on the reception desk for folks to help themselves!

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

It could be a brass door knocker...it only has to look like gold or silver.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

You are mixing up nagging with friendly badgering (not the digging in the wood type), you don't have to have gold or silver, people can give them to you. Gold can be the golden smile of a friend or the silver hair of a relative, or even the contents of a bag of chips, a golden piece of potato, right thats all the inspiration for one day.

So next I want to see an old friend, smiling, with a chip in her hair.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Gowd sterrrruth! don't go daft I'm taking a picture not writing a novel.

I can offer a piccy of an old friend with an axe in her head, it's in black and white, (which makes it sort of silvery), I had to develop it myself couldn't trust sending it to a chemists at the time, had digital been introduced a few years earlier I could have made it a career, but as it was I went for the electric shock treatment, so I'm all right N..OW!

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Well done Dave.... A worthy winner. Wish I had shot that one.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

I'm told the cheque is in the post.

Its in the competition 2 thread, we are all on a learning curve with this at the moment.

thanks, at the time it was extremely cold -4 and my artistic bent was cryogenicaly suspended, I'm still having to rub ointment on

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Found it eventually, it was right in the middle of the enormously long first post which was posted at 21.17, ie before the competition ended. Must have been added afterwards.

Re: The new Photo Competition
 

Congratulations Dave on the win -lovely photo of a favourite place of mine! Will be getting my galoshes on for the next category -it's nice and wet here:D
