january photo competition Music

[Hocus Eye.]

I like the look of the ones at 200 pixels. They are significantly better than the 150 size and won't need as much scrolling as the 250 size nor as much bandwidth.

However if there is no bandwidth problem stick with 250

Thumbnails

Any comments/opinions/criticisms re: the size of the thumbnail images welcome.

 

[hiccup]

The bigger thumbnails are obviously better. How about a slideshow of all the entries at full size?

I guess if someone was feeling helpful they could upload all the entries into a flickr group or similar, and you could view a slideshow that way.

Someone other than me, obviously

Looks good - much clearer now that they're bigger

Oh no, not the dreaded Flickr!

Then again, I can appreciate what a tedious job doing the thumbnails must be.

I'll host the page/do the thumbnails next month if you want.

 

[Tank Girl]

the thumbnails look great

the submission and voting dates are wrong on the page though.

The new size is excellent. I think it is now reasonable to only look at a shortlist based on thumbnails 250px, whereas before I felt I really owed it to the entries to try to open them all.

The one month I tried hosting the thumbnails I immediately started getting bandwidth complaints from my server space provider, so you may want to keep an eye on that with the increase. I am happy to again help maintain them outside of term time: July and Aug.

 

[Here we go]

Here is my first entry:
street music

This was the first picture that sprung to mind when I saw the theme for this month. I came across this band when I was walking around barcelona, they were quite amazing. Wish I could take the photo again though, didn't really catch the energy of the band. But then I was hungover
Some good entries already, nice choice of theme!

I only meant flickr for a slideshow, as was suggested.

For the time being the thumbnails should be OK on my webspace, but I'll certainly say if the bandwidth starts costing me money or anything.

Oops, so they are. Will sort it.

What's up with Flickr...

... decided to start a thread rather than post question about Flickr here...

 

[sherriff rosco]

Here`s mine and the missus`s entries......not final tho` as we`re still digging about the Sherriff`s archives! They`re all a bit low res at the mo` as Imageshack was taking forever to upload so when it`s not US primetime I`ll change `em to the high res ones..

lost in music

taken at my " work" from behind the main stack of bassbins, a massive crowd at the moment the new bassline hits.....jubilation for some , introspection for one.

says it all really!

taken outside a party we did last year, not anything to do with our night but a leftover from another unknown event..?

sound in motion

taken at a Buttercuts gig last year at Cargo.....twas a wicked nite out!

Plus..

Hippy Shit taken at the good 'ol Lambeth Show

I took the same photo from almost the same spot! The search goes on…

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Here is my second entry Lex Zero Two

I took it in colour but removed the colour in Photoshop and then warmed up the monochrome image a bit. It is also slightly cropped. It was hand-held at 1/6 of a second while steadying my arms on the back of a chair.

Hiccup, the thumbnails look great, that's a great size, I click on every picture anyway, then shortlist them down after looking at the full size.

http://static.flickr.com/37/86570470_20cbdb8469_o.jpg Antimaniax








I took this on a night in April 2003. I timed it perfectly, and captured a really good moment in the song. But at the time I was so crap at photography that I didn't think to move to the right so I'd include the drummer and bassist. It would have been an awesome shot if I had.

I had recently met a punk girl called xxxxxxx from Germany at a gig, and we started going to gigs together. She was lovely. Anyway, we went to see this Austrian punk/hardcore band called Antimaniax. Had a few drinks and realised that I took better photos after a few beers. This photo reminds me of her. It was a bit like the film Nine Songs, except this was like five songs or something. Anyway, xxxxxxx went back to Germany. I really miss her, I wish I could see her again.

Sorry... talk about soppy thread derail, eh?
