Wishing I had a photograph of you

[venta]

Right.

People's entries for my photo competition are now in, and are listed on that page. Please look at them - ideally, I'd like to arrive at a "best" for each word so tell me which photos you like. Invite all your friends round to do the same, the more the merrier...

(And, irrelevantly, does anyone have an opinion on NMA's Lost Songs? I'm thinking that some of them were maybe lost for a reason...)

I passed your submission for curve for the first time last night. It's illuminated with white lights after dark. Quite the finest anti-climbing structure I've seen.

anti-climbing

Ah. Oh. Of course. I did wonder why it was such an odd shape.

Where is it again ? I was wandering at random and can't remember where I found it at. I can imagine it looking good lit up.

[addedentry.livejournal.com]

Soho, somewhere near Ber Wick Street, I think. But you probably remembered that.

Ber Wick Street

:)

With my amazing knowledge of photography...

(ie none) I'd like to vote for:

Friend: Dave Sheldon
Autumn: Dave Sheldon
Corner: Mike Wallis
Green: Liz (I just like the concept)
Grey: Stuart (it has to be Mallory. Really)

And everything else I dunno about :)

If you're looking for a 'best' for each word then it would help us lazy sods if everybody's entry for a particular word was on the same page...

[venta.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know that. If I get bored of staring at the wall tonight I'll sort it out.

I've slurped 'em all to my machine, and captioned about half so far, all into the same directory. I'll do the others when I get back from lunch.

There you go:
http://mrwolf.afraid.org/gallery/competition

That's 74 thumbnails, which comes to about 700meg. This is on my home machine, with a 150 K/b uplink, so it's not as fast as you'd like.

Sorry about that.

You might want to check with nalsa before you do that, since I'm guessing he won't want his photos displayed without their attached © notice.

[wimble.livejournal.com]

I've added a disclaimer for the time being. And whacked off an email.

[wimble.livejournal.com]

And I'm intending to take them back down again, once you tell me the voting's over. This is just to ease the comparison.

'K. Thanks.

[lanfykins.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's too late to enter half my Romania photos under false pretences? ;)

I reckon I could manage curve, autumn, sky, water, road and movement, anyway...

[venta.livejournal.com]

(a) yes, and (b) I asked for photos taken "specially". I know perfectly well it's about three years since you went to Romania :)

Though you are, of course, welcome to exhibit them anyway :)

[lanfykins.livejournal.com]

I did say 'under false pretences' ;)

The photos are here. There is text with them, but it seems to be all black in that version for some reason.

Photo-tastic !

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

The standard of most of the pics was higher than I expected - thanks to all involved for entertaining me !

The following I particularly liked and consider voteworthy:

Motion: Simon White
Curve: David Sheldon
Green: Neil Hopcroft
Friend: Mike Wallis

I know this is Liz's LJ not mine, but could I put in a polite request that anonymous comments be signed ?

In this case I'm guessing you're Liz's mum ? Either that or it's Stuart J slipping in a few crafty votes for himself !

If you can't tell the difference between narenek's writing, and that of venta's mum, ohh dear. I'm really not sure what to be more scared of.

Re: photocomp

Naah I'd have voted for Road if that was the case.
