Good luck to all Accy Webbers who entered! I wish I lived closer so I could attend :)

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

"10 highly recommended" folk will "receive a prize"....I'll donate mine to Accyweb (if I win anything).
Also "For a small donation you will also be able to collect your images and take them away with you" after the exhibition has ended.....for about 20p I can print my own thanks ;)

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

I think there might be a difference in the printing......if they have been printed and mounted for to competition.....they might be worth giving a donation for.
I might have mine back.......it would be good to put them on my new picture wall.
I will see what they look like.

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

Yes,there is a good chance they'll be on better quality paper if they're going on show (I could live with standard A4 quality for my personal viewing).
I'm sure your two will make a great addition to your gallery wall...


...My two entries are from the top of St James church in town looking over Accrington if you fancy one of those too :D

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

It might be that you are only allowed to donate for your own pics.
The two that I have chosen would look good on my picture wall...one is a monochrome pic and the other is a shot taken on a day trip to Southport, but(to my mind) quite dramatic and full of impact(what the heck do I know?).
I would get them framed and they would be a proud addition.......none of the current pictures on my wall are pics that I have taken.
I have a John Miller print......a couple of pics bought at a street market in St Kilda(Australia) and an old fashioned picture taken in Ballarat......where we are all dressed as early settlers(all done in impeccable taste, with a gilt frame commensurate with the times).

I also submitted 2 photos to the competition - Adam bent the rules a little for me to enter. Obviously I won't be able to attend but look forward to hearing how it all goes. May cause a little confusion the fact that my Aunt who is also Diane Chaffer has entered 2 pics of her hols in Sicily last year - I have 2 "n"s in my name! I was really disappointed not to have taken one photo in time to submit it - the one I've put of the man tying his vines in Photo comp. 59 which I really like... Good luck to all who've entered - lets hope to have at least one of those Highly Commended prizes!

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

I am hoping to go on Thursday......so I will let you know how things look Dianne.
with Davemac, max and Gpick in there as well I don't think I have much chance, but when the pics are taken down I hope to buy mine back and have them framed and put on my new photo wall in the refurbed house

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

I was in the Library today as they were numbering the pictures.
I have to say I could not resist a sneaky peek at some of the pics.
I now realise that mine do not stand an earthly chance.
I am pretty sure I spotted one of GPicks entries.
If you can spare an hour tonight, then you will not be disappointed with the exhibition.

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

I only have one entry, my second (loch lochy panoramic) would have had too much cropped off so i withdrew it, and as it was at the last minute I didn`t have time to enter another.
I will try and make it down tonight but I have a very early start tomorrow (I have to be in Kings Lynn for 9 o clock and I want to make a quick detour to RAF Coningsby to hopefully get a glimpse of the all new Battle Of Britain Typhoon) so might have to go another time.

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

Hope you can come....there are some very professional looking pictures from what I saw.
Well worth a look....but King's Lynn by 9am...you need a helichopter:D

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

I`m tired just thinking about what time i`ve got to get up, alarm set for 3.15, set off at 4. :sleep:

Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonigh...
 

Had a quick look in, some very nice photos...and cake.

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

Just got back.....there were some stunning pictures(and none of them won)...there were some shots that I would have given my eye teeth for.
Those that won did not really float my boat...but the judges must have had a really hard job choosing just ten.

Thank you to Davemac for the lift home.

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonight mi
 

No problem, enjoyed the company.

Re: Open photography exhibition: Accrington libraryentries closes midnight tonigh...
 

Never saw you, and I was looking out for folk I might know.
