I've said 2 in the run time option... is that 2 years maybe???

Sorry to hear that Gwyn, I need to work during the day so couldn't comment.

Please stick around to support your theme at least if any question happens to arrive about that, all the other questions are for me so don't even bother to comment on those.

@Chris, I hope I've answered all your technical questions if you've any other questions I'm happy to answer them all.
I'm not prepared to talk about morals about me or any one though.

This competition was created out off the number off suggestions that some members wanted to have a other sort competition then the fortynight and the weekly and this was created out of the ideas that some gave.
I've put those ideas together to a workable format but this is however still experimental just to see if it works well or not.
I must say I quite enjoyed the previous competition, the anonymous bit with this one might improve things.

Don't worry about that, if it's 800 pixels on the long end and in JPG it's already good enough.

That's the whole problem you can't add a poll to a thread you need to start a new thread just for the poll so that would mean you end with 3 threads again and I agree with John that that wasn't handy.

The idea of collecting the images is to make sure they all get posted anonymously and also to make it a lower level to enter because it can be quite taunting to try to add an image to the forum for the first time.

I also thought this way of entering makes it easier for everyone to enter, even if you don't have the knowledge needed to post a photo here on the forum which can be quite taunting to do for the first time if you've no idea how it works.

If you aren't happy with the idea of me alone controlling the entries I'm happy to share the login information with certain members here that I trust enough since the accounts are on my name after all, the list off members I trust enough is quite long though so don't worry of me being too selective.

Yes at first it might be a bit taunting but most newcomers won't enter a competition straight away and just sit back for one and she how it works.

I can guarantee that something is happening.
Already have 3 entries, 2 through mail and one via PM.

Doesn't seem so good link

Hyram actually giving C&C is al right to give once the voting is closed and luckily for you they are so you can say what you want to say now about these entries

The difference between this and other competition is that the winner of last the theme isn't required to judge at all but if they feel they should then they can do that, no one is stopping them.
I do hope some healthy discussions about the entries would start though so that there is still feedback for the ones that entered.

oops

Already got one entry btw

Some others did as well end he ended quite high.
Makes me curious though since I didn't thought it would end that high, what was it that make you vote on his photo?

Great theme, very broad so I hope for a lot of entries and no correction needed Gwyn
It does get seem a bit complicated this way though when reading it, I hope everyone understands what needs to be done if not just ask here or PM Gwyn or me if needed.

Gwyn, I've one question though, is there a limitation on the date off the photos or can be as old as we want them to be?

But that's most likely the only colour it will output and that's the problem.
5500 Kelvin is blueish so what if you've red in your scene, the blue light won't make the red red

Here you see the difference it makes. link

Cokin consist of more systems.
The normal ones like the P are decent but the bigger ones like the Z-pro is slightly better. They use better quality glass and they have less off a colour cast.

There is also HiTech Formatt filters. From what I hear they are better then the standard Cokin filters but that's only hear say from my part I've never used them.

There is also Schneideroptics, don't be scared by the prices though.

Some sell them as a kit like formatt for example does. ND0.3, ND0.6, ND0.9 or the standard ones I think. link

They both have their own uses.
The wider the FOV, the softer the GND can be and vice versa.
And this one.
Lee explains when to use when for each type of photo link

Most brands make that clear with their product, I hope.

The cokin z-pro holds in the standard position 3 100mm filters and that one goes up to 13mm according to Cokin, that's just as wide as the wide angle holder of the P-series.
So if the wide angle holder is okay so would be most 100mm systems.
