Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Ok this competition is now open for uploads

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Now that is an interesting subject, and one I will have to think about for a while.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Good one Turtle, we may even get some old pictures of members which would be nice.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

At my age there are so many memories - not much else but......ha ha. It's going to be hard to choose which to include. Will have to give it some thought. Good subject though - there should be LOTS of entries, no excuses!!!!!!!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I love looking at the photos and always vote but the reason I don,t enter I have absolutely no idea how to put pics on my laptop let alone onto here!!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

the Waverley. childhood holidays. I was on it yesterday on the way to Rothesay .

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Nice pic, you should enter it in the comp.:D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

You need to upload it to the comp. We need more members participating.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I wish I could help - too far away, I'm afraid.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Thought this would be easy but now I see that all of my memory pics are in an album not on the computer or on a disc, so now I have to find a scanner?? Wait a minute, I suppose I could take a photo of a photo???

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Yes, I've done this many times. Why not give it a go!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Start a thread in the tech help section, i`m sure you`ll get some help. Include the make/model of your camera & also what computer or laptop you have.:)

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

or instead of being lazy and asking for more help you could do a site search and find this thread
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ples-4719.html

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I was thinking more about help getting pics from camera to laptop.:)

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

With most laptops it is quite easy, as the laptop recognises the camera and it will ask if you want to import photos and allow you to select a location.....eg My Pictures.......to store them.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I know that Margaret, but hassy rvr seems to be struggling.

That`s why I suggested starting a thread in the tech help section. If they get the help they need, it`s one more entering the comp.:)

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I am in favour of anything which encourages people to participate.
In the past I have helped members to put pictures on threads....including giving pictorial information. If I were at home, I would probably do that, but being in welsh Wales means that I am scuppered.....the signal is sporadic, and I do not have my laptop with me.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

So hard to decide what to include, could fill a book or two or more with memories. I'm still nursing a sick husband (though thankfully he's gradually getting better) so haven't had the time to really concentrate - you ladies will understand what I mean.....
Am looking forward to at all the other memories that are entered. Hope there are lots.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Sorry, I put in an 'at' by mistake in the last line of the above.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Oy! A bit of perspective here Madame! When us Blokes is ill, it's not one of your trifling little snivelly colds you Wimmin gets! Gawd no! It's a near death experience that stikes us down! :hesoff: Birddogcat-Man Flu, is just a shade below the black death (mind you we've probably got some of that in there as well) but you don't hear us complaining! :s_aim1:

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Trust the male gender to stick together. He has been quite ill though, and had me worried for a while, but the fact that I am tempting him to eat again by tray-feeding him with smoked salmon, prawns and other delicacies instead of the old sausage and mash might have something to do with how long it takes him to get over it....hmm!!! The fact that he has started to get a bit 'picky' with me might hold the clue.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

...and this has nothing to do with the photo comp thread, sorry!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

That's fine, it's merely a bijou wanderette, the life blood of a lively forum. :)

New Photo Competition 22
 

Excuse me? Have you not read the rules?

English only, good God, anything else we could lose the Empire!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

What a lovely thought, being a wanderette in a bijou. Conjures up a picture worth entering in an Acc'y Web photo competition. Hmm! wonder why there is a red line under the word though when I type it......

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

You mean there's rules? Where do you think you are? Germany! :eek: :D

Which, Bijou or Wanderette? :D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

can we stay on thread please

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Just looked at the entries so far and though the ones there are great photos, as usual, I thought there would be more 'memory' photos by now. Such an wide-ranging subject should have made it easy to enter, or maybe some of the best memories can't be shared - oops!!!!! Enough said.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Turtle I know what you mean but I wonder if part of the problem is that 'memory' photos are taken by someone else which evoke a memory in us when we see them. And comp rules say that the pic has to be taken by the poster. I must say I am finding it difficult to find something suitable in my back catalogue.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

True. I suppose you could take a photo of a photo, as long as it was something personal which was originally taken on your behalf and with your blessing, and not taken off the Internet for example - then the 'new' photo would have been taken by the poster...... Bit tongue-in-cheek, but maybe this would be allowed. It would (loosely) fit in with the comp rules.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

ER no they don't please get your facts right and actually read the rules:p

so any member of your family could have taken the photo

I am getting fed-up of members not reading or trying to get round the rules if it carries on I am going to give up with the competitions
it also says if you have a problem or question to PM me

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

No one is trying to get around the rules, just applying them in a way that still conforms to the rules but shows a bit of lateral thinking. I think your inference that people are trying to get around the rules implies mis-behaviour and this is not correct, also this is not the first time you have threatened to stop the competition saying you are fed up with members !!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Mick, you do an excellent job with the photo competition - very professional, and have made it easy to enter for all. It's very interesting and entertaining to look at the varying interpretations of each chosen subject. I'm sure the others who participate will agree with me on that, and appreciate the work you put into it. So please don't stop running this competition. I just wish more people would join in - both with entering photos and with voting.

Are you sure no one is trying to get around the rules?

There was someone blatantly encouraging another member to be deceitful in competition 21.

No wonder with all the work Mick puts in he gets annoyed when members show such disrespect for what is after all a competition the reward for winning is to choose the next subject, not really mega bucks tempting you to fiddle, get into the spirit of the comp' or don't enter it, but don't criticise Mick for your own shortcomings.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Taken out of context like that it sure looks like I am mounting a mass insurrection, a mass trespass of the rules and regulations on the website, but lets put it back on to a common sense level. What is it that I am doing that extracts these comments, I am posting photos, all within the size that the rules dictate they must be, and in the numbers set by the moderators. I have not broken any rules, or tried to manipulate the breaking of any rules, or even encourage anyone else to break rules.

I am not criticising Mick, just his application of the rules, the application of which I think are wrong, you will not be aware of this as it was conducted under the PM system, and rules dictate they must not be made public.

Mick is however very fortunate that he has a friend who will step in and defend him regardless of the facts, although I am sure Mick has the capacity to speak for himself. However feel free to put your two pennyworth in on a matter that you are not fully aware of. I am sure there is a rule about that.

New Photo Competition 22
 

I took nothing out of context, it was a direct quote of what you posted.
If you don't like the rules or the way the competition is run, then don't enter it.
Mick works hard for the site he doesn't need you to tell him how to do his job.
You seem to enjoy the competition, so enter it with a spirit of fair play and stop nit picking.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I am abiding by the rules, and perhaps if you read them you would see what you accused me of was incorrect, you said There was someone blatantly encouraging another member to be deceitful in competition 21.
I know you kept it vague on purpose, but the implication was that it was me, if you are going to accuse me, say so

Also perhaps if you read the rules you would see that you are I am abiding by the rules, and I quote the rules of this competition;

Photo's altered with image editing software will be allowed.

so the insertion of a pint by another member was well within the rules, and perhaps, it is not myself that is nit picking, or encouraging other members to be deceitful.

I am not questioning Mick's hard work on this site, but I am entitled to speak out if I am accused of breaking the rules when I am not, in fact I go a lot further than most to make sure my contribution is within the rules.

So go and have a look at the rules, and perhaps your next contribution will not be so accusatory, and may even contain contain a statement that my adherence to the rules is correct. Or is this not really about the rules ?

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Hi Susie. Yes, the subject I originally suggested has evolved a little as members posted their photos, mine included. That's part of the beauty of this competition, I think, in seeing how different people bring their own interpretations to the theme. I was mindful of the rules before I posted old photos taken by my father, and after reading them felt it was ok. I have no wish to get around the rules - I respect them, and the Mods who work so hard on our behalf. :)

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Hi Dotti. As you see from my reply to Susie, I believe the rules are ok with photos taken by family members. I have no wish to get around the comp. rules. If I have done so, I will fess up. :)

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Thank you davemac, you express it well when you say 'lateral thinking'. As I said to Susie, the joy in this comp. is in seeing different interpretations. I don't think anyone is out to deliberately flaunt the rules.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Hi Mick. I hear your frustration, but I really don't think anyone is deliberately trying to get around the rules, or make your job more difficult. I know I've made a couple of blunders, and for that I'm truly sorry.

New Photo Competition 22
 

Will you make your mind up?

I was either being vague when I did a direct quote of what you posted or I actually accused you.

Let me clear it up for you, I accused you.

You tell me I don't know all the facts because this is under discussion within the PM system.

If that is the case, don't post without giving all the facts that is you just stirring the pot.

As for the rules I was there when they were written, so stop your public tantrum It's Micks competition those are his rules, play by them other folk manage to.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

For the record, Less. Davemac did not encourage me to break the rules in Comp. 21. I had read the rules, particularly the one that said photos using image editing software are allowed. I didn't feel comfortable with my photos result, and said as much publicly. I encouraged Mick to remove it if HE felt it was out of line. He didn't, left it in the comp., and warned me to 'be careful' in future. I respect this, and Mick's decisions. Who are you now, to come forward and attack davemac for essentially agreeing with Mick's position on this? Perhaps you are engaging in some nit-picking of your own? What is YOUR agenda, Less?

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

So you make no acknowledgement about the rules or whether I have conformed to them, its as if you have ignored my previous posting and just carried on with your accusations.

I was not having a tantrum, you poked your nose into a conversation I was having with Mick, you know nothing of what has gone on, yet decided to accuse me of breaking the rules and encouraging others to be deceitful.

Perhaps the nit picking has been placed in the wrong direction, and lets just contemplate who really is having a public tantrum. To repeat myself, perhaps this is not about the rules!

New Photo Competition 22
 

How on Earth do you have a private conversation on a public forum?

You post, others are allowed to answer, if you don't like their answer you can either ignore it or as you are doing, have a hissy fit.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Still no answer to the main accusations that you made, yet you are still having a public tantrum, something you accuse me of.
Just answer the main gist of this conversation, am I breaking the rules, and which one would that be.

Don't forget this was the main reason for you intervention on behalf of Mick.

SO AM I BREAKING THE RULES, or will you reply using smoke and mirrors again hoping I will take the bait and become distracted.

New Photo Competition 22
 

My agenda?
It is that the competition should be allowed to run in the way that the person in charge wants it to be run.
You displayed doubts, his advice did suggest that no one would notice a touch of ambiguity shall we say?
It's a simple photo competition.
He demands I mention the rules, well, ok what does Mick say in the rules?
If you have a problem PM him.
Did you obey the rules?
No, why? Because you didn't PM Mick for advice you posted it in the thread.
Unfortunately, Mac the knife put his two penny worth in and now in the next competition thread is not happy.

Well tough, I'll back Mick all the way, enjoy the competition stop complaining or he will remove it.
Which will be a great shame for those that just want to enter.

New Photo Competition 22
 

Tsk, and you say you aren't having a hissy fit?

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Less, you have hijacked this once peaceful, positive-thinking competition. Shame on you. Your attacks are unwarranted and uncalled for. I suggest you get back to what you are best known for: your sometimes witty banter and viewpoints.

Now, shall we get back to the business at hand? Photo Competition 22.
We need more members to enter, as the deadline is fast approaching.


Let's keep this competition going in the spirit that I know it still has. Photographs, anyone?

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Oh, just a quick question... Do YOU have any photographs for this Comp. Less? I look forward to seeing them.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Right let me try and sort this out yet again oh hell
Susie stated "And comp rules say that the pic has to be taken by the poster. "
I said this is not so the rules say if you would care to read them that any member of the family can take them mother grand mother etc I have photos of Preston guild from 1902 taken by my grandfather.

I stated I was getting fed-up with members not reading the rules.
NOT that "I was fed-up with members" this is another miss quote

dotti34 posted
instead of posting this on site she should have asked in a pm as it says in the rules

Next Turtle and the pint
Turtle uploaded a photo to comp21 then realised they had added the glass they got intouch with me through the pm system and appolagised and asked it be deleted because of what was done I considered it and told turtle it would be fine as there was no copyright on a pint of beer:) so let it go
now can we stop arguing and just use the rules that are in place and have a great competition and I hope a lot more to come.
Mick

New Photo Competition 22
 

I post my pics when I have them, at the moment I'm too busy with camera shake from splitting my sides at tweedle dee and tweedle dumber.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I rest my case.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Can I draw your attention to competition 3 post 18.

and who was putting his two pennyworth in further down, some things never change.

New Photo Competition 22
 

You have no case to rest, I post to the comp' when I want to, just as I have loyalty to Mick because I want to.
I did a buttinski because your darling friend was attacking my friend, even though they were having a conversation as we found out on the PM system. So, enter the competition or don't but stop making what Mick used to enjoy a chore for him.
My friend, will always be defended on this site.
He is the main reason Roy has kept it going, because of Micks dedication to members that take him for granted and he is always more than fair to even the most nasty of us.
So cut some slack for him this is HIS competition and will only be run whilst he enjoys doing it.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Now that Mick has confirmed that I was not trying to make another member deceitful, or breaking the rules, have you anything you would like to say on your posting.

I was not as you stated having a go at Mick nor was anyone else, which was the reason for your wrongful accusations, just questioning the interpretation of the rules, and the application of this interpretation, after all this is a site for discussions. Had you felt strongly about the defence of your friend you could have taken the matter to the PM system rather than public accusations, you chose not to. You have not done yourself any favours on this matter. I know Mick is well able to defend himself both in the open arena of this site, and through the PM system and perhaps you should ask him if once he has made a decision on any matter, whether I have ignored anything he said.

So back to the question, have you anything you would like to say on the initial accusation ?

New Photo Competition 22
 

Where exactly in the above quote does Mick vindicate you?

Somehow I get the impression you are upset with something, possibly me?
I don't mind, be as upset as you want just don't pick on Mick.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Yes mea culpa, of course I have read the rules and was aware that other folks' photos can be submitted, if family. Just forgot to add it to my post which I submitted at 2am - not always a time for clear thinking! Anyway the last thing I want to do is fall out with you Mick or anyone else for that matter.

As for pming with problems or questions, I think that questions like Dotti's demand to be seen by a wider audience who may be thinking along the same lines. Of course there may be other occasions when a pm is more appropriate.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I thought not, quick to accuse, but wriggling on the facts. I am not picking on Mick, if he thinks I am, then let him say so himself, until then......................................

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Its how it looks to a few people thats spoke to me.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

My sincere apologies if I did the wrong thing by posting my thoughts to Susie on the thread instead of a P/M.
I honestly didn't think it was going against the rules as I was just putting my two bob's-worth in as it were and making a suggestion (as I said at the time it was tongue-in-cheek).
I hope my other posting re Mick and the competition has made up for this error - hmm! Like other members I really do enjoy the comp and appreciate all the effort that Mick puts into it. Hence I try to enter my quota every time. That should speak for itself.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

It is not, and never has been my intention to "pick" on Mick I do however retain the right to question the application of the rules, or the accusation that I am trying to get around them. If I am contravening the rules then I should be held to account, but defending myself can never be construed as "picking". If someone says I am breaking the rules, or trying to get around them and can prove this, then I should be banned, but if I can prove otherwise then should I not have the right to reply, also I also have never tried to get other members to be deceitful, I have only advised within the rules.

If Mick thinks otherwise, and he thinks this is personal, then I apologise for this misunderstanding. It is not my intention to attack anyone, or cause upset, just correct untrue allegations.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Btw, it is very early here - but I will have to keep watching this thread, it gets more and more 'interesting' to say the least.
Come on folks, it's a great comp. Get out those photos and enter - and then vote!!!!!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Aye but if yeh question em in private is how things are supposed to be, as far as i'm aware.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I did question them in private and that is how they have stayed.

I have only defended claims of trying to get around the rules when the issue has been raised in open forum, or someone interjected with only half the facts.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

This makes really tedious reading.

It isn't even as if this competition is for a prize, let alone a big prize.

I think it is truly time to draw a line under it, and get on with what should be fun.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Mrs P. I know you are right it is very tedious, but if someone is saying something that is not true then I have to defend my corner and set the matter straight. if you have read the thread through you will notice I have been accused of breaking the rules and fostering deceit among others. I think I have proved this is not the case, yet this defence gets classed as a hissy fit and other elements of emotion.
Having proved I am not breaking the rules no one has come on and said "Yes you were right, you did not break the rules". It is not even about this competition, but has been hijacked to wrongly point the finger.

A thing that should be noted, I never instigated any initial comment, only to answer those comments that were incorrect, something I think I have a right to do. I was just going about my business as I have done for some time, but if wrongly accused, I will speak out.

Yes a line should be drawn under the matter, but I think other people should be the one with the pencil.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Dave, I hear what you are saying and understand, but someone has to decide to stop the bickering(it reminds me of a school yard argument -'but Miss, he started it' it doesn't matter who started it someone has to finish it)........it doesn't make anyone weak to do this, it makes them a bigger and better person than those who you feel may have thrown the(perceived) jibes.
Personally, I think this has been a mountain made out of a mole hill..ask yourself.....in five years will it matter? Why sweat the small stuff? There are bigger and better things in life to get fired up about - well, certainly, in my life, there are.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Got a suggestion (yes, another one) for what it's worth. Why don't you just meet at the local pub, have a beer or three together, shake hands and agree to differ.....
...and PLEASE let us enjoy this competition - with (hopefully) many more to come.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

That's fine by me as long as your paying:hehetable:thepint::thepint::thepint:
ps I will be there today with less from 11-30am see you there

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

By the way this has all been sorted through the PM system with Davmac and we are now back on track so please get your photos in the competition

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Mine are in :D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Would love to join you - and yes I would pay, but 12,000 miles is a heck-of-a-way to travel just for a pint - and I don't think I could make it by 11.30 a.m. Sorry about that....

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

So are two of mine but I may have more.
Looking through old photographs can be very emotional, especially when I see photos of my self sixty years ago looking forward to a carefree future.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Very true, Russell. One problem I have with my old photos is that most of them were taken not by me or family members but they are studio photos so they don't count.

I could post some of my myriad holiday snaps from recent years but they don't really illustrate the category. I managed to find five photos in the end, hope you like them.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

My take on this is.....memories can be old, or they can be recent.
There is nothing in the category that asks us to choose a memory from a particular era of our lives...like schooldays....that would really scupper me, as I have no pictures from that time.
I think it is interesting to see what brings back memories for those who have entered the competition.....memories are very personal things....different and unique to the individual.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Right I have entered 4 photos there is a 5th photo the wife said to put on but I wont:) its of me age 2 in the bath so no chance but she has threatened to put it in herself:D
I can remember these photos and the events they are of and bring back fond memories of my childhood.

I have loads more as my grand father was a founder member of Preston camera club
that's when cameras used glass negatives
so he always had a camera and encouraged my father to take loads of family photos too
they used to do there own developing and printing too

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Mick your pics have rustled memories of mine. My dad was an avid photographer...he did his own developing and printed out his own pics...he would make fancy edges on the snaps with a deckle edged cutter. sometimes he would let me do this job, but more often I was given the job of twirling the knob on the top of the developing tank.
We used to get o ur photographic supplies from Waltons on Abbey street.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

This theme has just made one hell of a lot more work for me:D

no not the thread itself

but I went looking for old family photos to use in the competition
and found a huge box of photos I forgot about after my mother died
all my other family photos have been scanned and put on DVD also backed up to a hard drive.
but now I have thousands of them to scan thanks Turtle :D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I am pretty sure you are going to have a very emotional time sorting through those family snaps Mick....but you will enjoy it

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Sorry Mick :)
(I seem to be saying that a lot lately!)

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Right uploads will close at 10pm tonight
so if your still looking through your old photos hurry up:D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Just been looking at the entries in this comp.....it is going to be a hard job choosing who to vote for. Some very interesting pictures in there.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Ok uploads are now closed
so please look, look and look again then vote
some great photos

Glad I managed to close uploads before the wife put the one of me in the bath in:D:D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I have been waiting for that one Mick!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Perhaps she could upload it somewhere else, joke of the day maybe, give us all a laugh.:D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Thank you everyone for getting into the spirit of this Comp. The photos are great. Although I too was hoping to see the one of Mick in the bath!

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Come on Mick, give the people what they want.http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...ys/ev-bath.gifhttp://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/<...if&quot;/></a>http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/<...if&quot;/></a>

Really hard to choose this time. Plenty of memories on here - hope they are all good for the people who posted.

Here just to stop you all moaning at me :D
it says on back of photo "Michael at 18 months:o

Re: New Photo Competition 22

My vote's in. Whew, that was a hard choice! Not only because the photos were all so interesting, but they shared precious memories with us. Thank you everyone who entered.

Well this very interesting competition is now closed and the winner is Turtle

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Well done Turtle -lovely photo, it had my vote! That was the winter when my parents married -I was a honeymoon baby - that cold spell has a lot to answer for!!! :D

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Well done Turtle, but give the rest of us a chance.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

Well done Turtle. You nailed it.
I still think the pic of Mick in the bath would have been a contender.

Re: New Photo Competition 22
 

I loved the feel of Turtle's photo -that frozen winter, which I've seen photos of in my parents wedding on Boxing day at Sacred Heart Church Accy. I struggled to choose between that photo and the one of her and her brother dressd for Halloween outside the same house - I really felt the bond she had to that place...
Hard to transmit the emotion of a memory - my photo of my husband's first National win with a cow called Diana (my namesake though I'm sure he loved her more than me!) for me recalls the apex of a year-long effort to have her in perfect form for the show - I used to massage her udder after each milking with a special cream -it was a real team effort with my sons involved too. We could never have imagined it would have have happened 3 times in a row - a record. But the first time is always the sweetest ;)
