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.

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?

Serious · August 20, 2007, 14:29:18 PM

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.
