I reckon there might be more entrants/participants if we have an extra week or so. Give people time to sort out hosting, think about text (if they want to include any) etc.
 
Aye!

I was gonna go out this weekend, and take some photos but I reckon if I see any humans I'll want to kill them :mad:

dude, i often feel like that. in fact i feel like it 90% of the time! but u shoul dhave just gone out man, you know you'll regret not doing it! the light has been fucking awesome here today and all i've been doing is sitting in front of a computer and dreaming of sexy female joggers.

dunno how im gonna enter the comp now, i sold my scanner to pay the rent :( :(
 
I've got a mustek A4 flatbed scanner lying around somewhere - minus a serial cable. I'll have a look for it and I`ll send you it, can't cost that much to send it, tis light as a feather.
 
Got it, Mustek 600CP. It aint got a serial cable or a PSU, but they're both universal fittings I think.

It is yours if you want it?

thanks for your most kind offer. that means i'd have to get my shit printed tho (it was a film scanner i had before, so i could just get my film developed but not printed, costing me almost nothing compared to having prints done) - i can scan the prints at the library (they have photoshop 7 on the comp that the scanner's on!) then upload them directly from there, so it might not be worth you sending it really... plus if i scanned them at home i wouldnt be able to upload them as i dont have internet... thanks tho
 
this kinda porn?

Went into the teeming nightmare that is the city centre this afternoon. The light was beautiful but I remembered why I never ever go into town on a Saturday. I feel so frazzeled now AND I was stopped from taking pictures in a fancy departmental store by some bint because "camera's aren't allowed in the store". Jesus Wept! Never again. I hope the topic for the assignment is something pleasant like "calm blue ocean". :mad:
 
A couple of thoughts:

When putting the gallery together would it be an idea to have a front page with thumbnails and maybe intro text. that way when it comes to reviewing things for a winner we can get a good idea without having to go through every thing.

Second when it comes to choosing a new topic how about having a vote on a few suggestions that way we guarantee that the people that choose it will submit a few entries.

Just a few thoughts, let me know what you think?
 
Not sure what's gonna happen if more than 12 people enter, as you can only have 12 options on a poll :(

I still haven't gone out yet, I could just easily go into town and take pics as I know what pics I want and which ones I can get... still, apathy makes a weak man even weaker...
 
I have a kind of mental storyboard drawn in my mind, I know what pics I want and I'm sure they'd turn out f**king ace but I don't think I'm entering. I need a job before I can afford to process my films. Plus I'm selling my camera to pay the rent & bills. Oh well. :(

I went out the other weekend with ideas of what I wanted to shoot... but didn't quite work and not happy with photos at all, so not sure if I'll be entering. I'll play with them a bit and see, might try again this weekend from a different angle :confused:
So there's a potential free space on the poll.

That's a shitter about your camera 5T3R30TYP3 - is there nothing else you can sell?
 
Got some photos, done. Not that many. Will upload them later, not that happy with them - shite light :(

I could become a rentboy and sell my ass I suppose, but then I'd get all suicidal.

That was in poor taste I know, sorry. I have nowt else to sell I'm afraid, except for a shit laptop that my auntie gave me, which won't be worth anything now as it's really old (it's got windows 2000 on it... even if I upgrade it to XP it still wont sell for much...)

Lets see them pics Firky, im in suspense now.

Heheh, heh heh, "Firky"... heh heh heh :)
 
I've just been out today trying to get some material and was thrown out of habitat (understandably) but then at a local shopping centre I was asked by 2 security guards to come up and explain what I was doing to the centre manager who then told me I couldn't take picutures (a) because it was private property and (b) they had to respect the privacy of the general public whilst shopping - I was then escorted off the premises by the two security guards and then followed by them went I went back in there later.

It was fun...... :D
 
That happened to me at Gunwharf Quays, I was taking photos of stuff for a uni assignment. Two security guards came over (teenage jobs worths, I had pubes older than them) but I just pretended to be foreign I hadn't understood them.

Eventualy one of them noticed I was wearing a Newcastle Top, and said "I don't think he's french, dave" :D :D

I got embarrased and left :o
 
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't managed anything suitable. I tried a few low light shots but they all came out poop, and my other efforts have gone into (a) trying to enter a local competition, (b) a trip to the Science & Industry museum and (c) third year uni work :(

I'll have a go again but don't know how much time I have to spare.
