Something else that has died over the months is the photo of the month? giving something to work towards ?!?! Its something else that has dropped from radar and we are missing from forums! bring it back!
-
Ill be happy to join in with this! Lets get it back up and going :)
-
I dont remember posting that :P
But i agree with drunken rambling. I may not join in myself (i might do now I have a camera) but it was good to look at :)
-
The problem was no one was submitting entries so it died the inevitable death :-/
-
Last attempt at revival, two entries.

Problem 1: you need a good few entries for a reasonable competition - at least six.
Problem 2: you need a moderator who gives a damn about them.
.................Stoopid bastard quit didnt he?
.................Now he cant edit the threads to put the polls in or remove the spare posts.

Im up for giving this another go? Any other takers?
-
to be fair, last time the theme was wildlife and the world promptly did a Noahs flood re-enactment. My Pentax is weatherproof but that doesnt make me any more likely to go out in the pouring rain.
Im up for giving it another try, probably a good idea to pick a subject which can be done without the co-operation of the weather though.
-
Might be better to not have a subject and just let people go all out?
Might make it a bit harder to judge though.
-
I think the subject should be more simplistic, ie (macro, blue, water etc.) How we going to moderate? Is there someone up for doing this?
-
The only way is with a moderator. Unfortunately the software for this forum is crap so you cant be limited to one area easily.
-
Can I be a photo moderator? please? please please? please please please? (this can get boring if you say no!)
-
I think it would also work out better if the topic challenge was less specific/more vague given how few entries were being put in!
-
It depends on how you interpret it. Wildlife could mean a lot of things from the normal animals, insects or kids at times, even a party! Even limiting it to wild animals means you have a range of possible subjects.
-
id do it but id have to actually go out of my way to try and get a picture every month
-
Instead of "Month" maybe make it weekly & have a Theme??
oh its been mentioned :-D

You still need a moderator to take interest in this.
-
How about we have it bi-monthly, much more likely that people will enter. We can have a voting system to choose the theme. We can then just vote for each others pictures so should not really need a moderator? I am happy to assist with any work that is required.
-
People post other pictures and comment on the ones posted, the thread needs to be cleaned up, extra posts removed and a poll added to it. That means a moderator.
