Do people still use film?
yes
I suppose we will have to ban them. Can't have them contaminating our contest with their outdated medium.
Yes, that's the idea. To encourage people to go and shoot that particular topic for that particular contest. Surely that is not a bad thing.
it's not a bad thing at all .. personally i'd love to do it. but .. you can't encourage all people to do that simply cus not all of them have the time to do it .. some who have the time AND think it's worth it will do it, BUT not for every month. and the result .. less number of participants every month. that's what i THINK will happen. hope i'm wrong.
There is a price to pay for true art and true art has never apealed to the masses ;)
In any case, this is moot since it is not going ahead for the foreseeable future due to "technical difficulties".
what about photos without exif?! will be rejected?!
ok .. what about photos with false exif?!
Photos without exif will be summarily deleted but anyone that goes through the trouble of faking exif for such a contest really deserves to win...least of all for their mental health's sake. I am sure the other members wouldn't mind too much.
This is just a thought though and this comp may remain as an open free for all with perhaps another more controlled one. Time and providence will tell.
yes .. we are only discussing the feasibility of the idea. maybe this will save your time looking for solutions to those technical difficulties
mmmmmm .. by the way .. maybe you need to find a way to ensure that the participants are the shooters of their entries. what do you think?!
Technical difficulties are a challenge and whether this feature is used or not, time will be spent trying to overcome them.
Not bothered with ensuring people shot the pics themselves and have not nicked it from somewhere as they signed up to the terms before joining.
BTW Ned, you do realise you are free to enter whatever you want now and for the foreseeable future, don't you? ??? Don't worry so much about this now. ::)
Let us meet and discuss this over some coffee and bring Al Shaikh along.
