[Lee Iggulden]

Subject to booking conditions :) I have to say that but usually we can get you on with no problems gang :)

[sian]

will do this in the week, had not heard of any competition as I do not go on the forum.
Is welshot now a forum academy?

[Paul Smith]

It was announced at the last Academy night and we've put it in the newsletter to remind people now. If anyone needs any help in getting an image on here they're welcome to ask and we'll sort it for them.

[RogBrown]

OK so how do I upload a photo?

Rog

[Paul Smith]

You basically have to upload the image to one of the free online services such as flickr, imageshack or photobucket and then link to it from here. I'll do some guides and update this post shortly with further guidance.

edit

Guide for uploading images can be found here (http://welshotimaging.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=194).

Quick guide

Resize image to 500pixels on it's longest length and save on your computer.

Go to www.imageshack.us

Select the picture from your computer and hit the upload button.

Once uploaded you're presented with a set of codes

Copy the forum code or html code and paste it into a post on here and it will display your image.

[RogBrown]

But where on here do you post? Is there a specific Forum thread for comp entries?
Also, where can I see other entries?

[Paul Smith]

Sorry Rog, post your entries in this thread. No one's entered yet so we've obviously made it too confusing.

We'll use this thread for all entries and then lock it at noon on Sunday. Please don't wait until Sunday to post as you don't want to run out of time if something goes wrong and you need any help in posting an image.

[Lee Iggulden]

And for all those of you who I KNOW are waiting to see what has been uploaded before you enter... I know who you are lol ;) and I will deduct points ;)

Come on guys, get cracking... A FREE one day workshop remember :)

[Anthony Smith]

Ok, I'll have a go. Hope this linky thing works.

[Paul Smith]

[Anthony Smith]

ha ha, brilliant, :)

Anthony

[RogBrown]

Right. If he can do it, so can I! Here goes nothing.

Try again.

[RogBrown]

There you go. Beat that Anthony!!

[Anthony Smith]

ooh, shame its only one entry each, otherwise I might have another one in mind.

Rog, thats lovely mate, really nice.

Anthony

[Anthony Smith]

what do you think of this one Roger?

Anthony

[RogBrown]

Beautiful. I'd maybe crop a bit off the f/g to get the horizon off the mid line, but that's being really picky.

[Anthony Smith]

I know what you mean Rog, but I have never been bothered by where my horizon lands. If the other elements balance it out, then Im happy.

Still appreciate your thoughts though, cheers.

Anthony

[Paul Smith]

No getting carried away now you've worked out how to link. :D


Can we keep this thread to one entry for the comp please. Feel free to post any other images you wish to discuss in the Image Discussion Forum (http://welshotimaging.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=36). You're all welcome to change your submissions before Sunday but please do so by editing your original post, not adding a second.


:thumbsup:

[Anthony Smith]

Sorry Paul, my fault.

Nice. But not nice enough!! :devil:

Unless you are the judge I have no fears then do I !!!!!!!:yahoo:

[Paul Smith]

It's been pointed out that you can't actually edit posts to change picks so you're stuck with your first entry :) Which one are you submitting Anthony and I'll remove the other.

[Anthony Smith]

hmm, thats a toughie. I'll go with my first answer. I'll keep the Liverpool shot, and not enter the lighthouse shot.

Thanks Paul.

Sorry i have caused you some work.

[Paul Smith]

you're just missing the opening square bracket for some reason, put that in and it will work honest.

you're basically telling the board that you're linking to an image by using the [ IMG ] web address of picture [ / IMG ] tags, without any spaces.

Hope I've linked this correctly - fingers crossed!

[janpiano]

Linking it to flikr was far easier than I was expecting it to be!

[Paul Smith]

It's one of those things that sounds more difficult than it is. After a few goes we'll have you all posting stuff up regularly.

[Tim Charles]

One from me

[Paul Smith]

Well done everyone. We'll get judging and post the winner here and in the March newsletter.

[Paul Smith]

A big thank you to everyone that entered. A special judging pamel was conveined at Welshot Towers this afternoon and we spent a long time going through all the images.

We particularly liked Sian's shot of Albert Dock, Sion's light trails and Anthony's Liverpool shot but in the end we all agreed on Tim Charles's cityscape.

Once again thank you to all that entered.

[carol jones]

well done everybody.

[Tim Charles]

After being away for the weekend I am delighted to have returned to find I have won the night time shot comp!

I really enjoyed the day out in Liverpool with Will, Ade, Lee and Eifion and academy members.

Thank you for choosing my shot and those who have sent their congratulations.

I look for forward to the Leeds outing in April and more evenings at The Gateway to Wales.

Many thanks

Tim
