Well, there must have been a rush of buyers, because the only thing there now is a K-x body.

Relisted now as Nikon AF.

I've locked this thread because it was getting way out of hand, and frankly I'm appalled at what's been written by people who should know better.


Jeff, occasionally the judge from one week awards the first place to the same person that awarded them first place the week before. Galoot and I have done it I beleive, but it purely down to the photo that the judge thought was best.

As Gwyn has pointed out, it's probably very rare that everyone agrees what photo should be the winner.

If, and that that's a very big if, Nathan was picked as the winner purely as a favour, it would be unfortunate, but a very rare event, and one that certainly doesn't happen every week, as your first post seemed to imply. In fact it's clear from a quick browse of the previous competitions that this doesn't happen.

Although you obviously have genuine feelings that this week's competition wasn't fair, I think the way you made your feelings known is the main cause of the reaction you got.

I'll be grateful (as a moderator) if everyone can moderate their own comments, think before you post. If someone's winding you up, just leave the thread. There's no need for this.

Jeff, I'll be sending you a PM shortly to discuss your concerns.

Areyou aware that you can get Elements 8 from Cameraworld for less than £50?

I realise you may be after something cheaper than that, but it may be worth bearing in mind if you don't get any offers.

If you'd rather not use flickr etc, you can do the same as the above but using pics in the Gallery. Just click through to see the large version, then follow the instructions above.

That's right, I had one this afternoon.

NeilP on here has the Sigma 150-500 and gets very good results with it, his blog has various and numerous shots with it.

I'm not so much of a birder, so didn't need the flexibility of a zoom, and splashed out of the DA* instead.

Add another 2 legs?

Dan

Do you mean to the gallery/weekly competition, or adding them to posts in the forum?

EDIT: Just had a look at your portfolio, so I can see you can add photos to the gallery! You do submissions to the mag in the same way, but tick the box to say it's a 'Magazine Gallery Competition' entry. It doesn't appear in the gallery then until the magazine's been published.

If you can get the pheasant, take a look here for plenty of ideas.

Uploading for the magazine is very easy, just ask when you're ready and if you need help I'm sure you'll get it.
