Photo Competition 2
 

Congratulations to Margaret Pilkington on winning the last one
Comp 2
Each competition will run for 2 weeks, 12 days for uploading photo's and a further 2 days which can be used for voting only
THIS is the link to the competition pages
During the 12 days uploading time you will be able to vote and there will be an option to cancel your vote if you feel a better picture has been submitted.
After the 12 day upload period, voting only will be allowed for 2 days then voting will be stopped.

Anyone can vote, you don't have to enter the competition to be entitled to a vote but it is 1 vote per person

The winner will get to choose a theme for the next competition ( You won't need to do anything else, the moderators will create the folder to be uploaded too)

In the event of a tie the person who chose the theme will decide on the winner

4 entrys are allowed per person
Any more than this will be removed, your 1st 4 uploads will stay - later ones will be removed

All images must be your own work, scanned, digital, phone, video stills are all allowed, please dont use images off the web or from mags as we dont want Accyweb getting into trouble for hosting copyright images. You will retain copyright of all your images.
Photo's altered with image editing software will be allowed

Theme chosen by Margaret Pilkington - photo 1 comp winner is
Trains and Boats and Planes....or anything to do with Transport.

.................................................. ..................................................
We now have some small prizes to be awarded, we won't be giving one away for every competition so what we will do is:-
Give 1 away for every 6 competitions.
The 6 winners will go into a special album and people will be able to vote for the one they like, this will mean a prize will be given approx every 12 week.
I will not be able to enter as I run the comp neither will any of the Accy moderators, this doesn't stop us entering the fortnightly comp - it just means if we happened to win one our entry wouldn't go into the prize draw, we would in that case enter the runner up from the week we won.
Prize you could win by entering this competition is a USB hub

Thanks to everyone who voted for my picture......I am really surprised that it won. The next competition theme will be:-
Trains and Boats and Planes....or anything to do with Transport.

Good luck everybody!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Oh my god this looks like a hard one!!!!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

mmmmmmm scratching my head over this one !!!!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Hmmmm interesting one Marg!!!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Should be fun!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

It can be anything to do with transport.....a local bus, a canal barge, a skate-boarder....a bike (either push or motor) just to give you a few examples.......I'm sure you can think of more!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I have uploaded my four entries......hope it gives you some ideas.
Like yours Ber999t!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Nice choice, sure I will find something for this, might take 2 specially for it and find 2 from my archives

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

It is a wide category...anything from a Rolls Royce to a Rickshaw...and all transport in between, gives everyone a fair chance.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Can you turn the voting on Len for comp 2?

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

You know I can. hehe

The voting option is now enabled. I new there was something I’d missed while creating the album. :)

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Is it just me or does anyone else find it annoying that the images dont stay in the same place they rotate at random, personally I'd rather see it newest images 1st so you could see straight away the new uploads

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

also, you can't vote for your own but can't see what others have got till you've voted?

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Come on!! you wouldn't would you :) but the latter could be a good point as it won't draw you towards voting for the one that already has the most votes, but theres nothing to stop you voting then seeing which has most then changing your mind, plus it will make you vote so you can see the other votes

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I suppose it is fair not being able to see how others have voted...and anyway if you really want to know you can vote for something and then retrieve your vote and vote for something else...not that I have done that.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Well I’ve sorted the image arrangement out now; it now shows the latest to be uploaded. Don’t know about the voting display thou. Seems a bit point less really i.e. hiding the voting results until you’ve vote yourself. You can always make a vote and see what’s happening then clear your vote if you so desire or even make your final decision later when all the entries are in.
I shall go and have a look and perhaps push a few buttons and see what happen. Let me know if the Gallery should suddenly disappear. :) hehe

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

You can't see how other people have voted, (ahem well not now anyway, you could on the 1st day until it got sorted out :))but you can see how many votes another photo has but you can't do this unless you have placed a vote yourself

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Oh I didn't really mean that....I meant you could see which pics had got the votes.....or certainly I could in the last comp..although I didn't know who the votes were from......apart from Grannyclaret telling me in a thread that she liked my pic and had voted for it.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Hope your all gonna take some transport related pics over the bank holiday for this photo competition, going a bit slow at the moment only 20 uploaded.
Don't forget you can upload 4 images per person on this one

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I've got 3 up there

One more to go

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I’ve nothing to offer just yet. :o
Lets hope something presents it’s self in the next few days. :)

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

And I haven't got the time to go and take any at the min, I will before it finishes - I think

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I’ve noticed that quite a few entries have the same image title. This makes it very difficult for everyone when referring to a particular image.

Can you all make sure that all your entries have their own individual title?

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I've had a do but they're old pics that I took - I'll have a go at taking something specific this weekend.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

You can use any image you like, as long as they are related to the competition topic.
You can at anytime change your image titles by simply clicking on your image, and when the image is full size, if you look under your image you will see an “Edit Image “link. Click on that and you can re-name the image to anything you like, preferably as to what the subject is.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

So, in other words 'you got it wrong Gayle, so sort it out'. hehe

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

You didnt get it wrong Gayle, you just didnt know, thats all. :)

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I've sorted it now! :)

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Don't forget to place your vote as well, you can do it now or anytime up to midnight on the 20th of April, if you do it now and a picture you like more is uploaded just press the "clear my vote" link and re-vote

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Spot on!! Lets see if others can do the same. :)

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I just put my name and title in the wrong fields!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Competition closes at 24:00 tomorrow night so get your entry's in now
Latest news is that we now have a few small prizes (details soon) that Mick has aquired but instead of giving 1 away every week what I am going to do is do it over a 6 competition period.
The 6 winners will go into a special album and people will be able to vote for the one they like, this will mean a prize will be given approx every 12 week.
I will not be able to enter as I run the comp neither will any of the Accy moderators, this doesn't stop us entering the fortnightly comp - it just means if we happened to win one our entry wouldn't go into the prize draw, we would in that case enter the runner up from the week we won.

Margaret, thats the front of the engine. Looks like it's called lady sarah. It's parked in a disabled bay, I bet it didn't get a ticket!

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Could you put it in forum news, that members have two days to vote, there seems to be a very low vote count. I feel guilty voting when I've entered myself. I didn't vote last time but I have this time, just to see whats getting what votes.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I have just entered!! a bit late really but then better later than never.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

I will be posting one soon to remind people to vote.
Theres no need to feel guilty if you vote but haven't entered, as it says in the rules anyone can vote - doesn't matter if you enter or not

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Just a reminder.
competition #2 voting ends tonight at 12.00pm.
Good luck everyone.
:)

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Madhatter....don't feel guilty about voting...unless you voted for yourself of course (not possible - or at least I don't think it is).....The Steam Engine was on display in the main street in Llandudno...it was at last years Victorian Extravaganza - the main street is blocked off for this event and alternative parking areas are allocated.......to be honest I don't think I saw any traffic wardens - unless of course they were under cover....it is Richard Brunstroms patch and you wouldn't put anything past him.

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

my vote is in.....

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

The clock strikes midnight.

Looks like Talentedbutslow won.

Congratulations.:)

Re: Photo Competition 2
 

Well done talentedbutslow. I'm looking forward to the next subject.
