VB Forums Photography Contest #3
It's time to vote!

Send me a PM with your 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd choices.

The format of the PM should look something like the following
1 - JohnSmith #2
2 - JaneJones #1
3 - PhilPhotographer #5

Voting will remain open until noon PST 2/11/09.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's time again ladies and gentlemen for the 3rd installment of our photography contest. As always we have the same prizes (none) and so it's all about honor, glory and ego.

You enter by submitting photographs to me and I will accept them in any of following three ways:
1. Upload the photos to Flikr and post the links in this thread. Optionally include a short description for each photo.
2. If the pictures are small enough, put each one in a zip file and attach it to this thread. As with Flikr, optionally include a short description.
3. Upload the photos (all in one zip or rar file if possible) to senduit. When using senduit it's important to select the "Expire in" period before you upload. Please choose an "Expire in" period of at least 3 days. After you do that, post the link that senduit will give you here, and again include descriptions if you like.
Here are the rules:
- You may submit up to 5 photos.
- The photos must be by you (honor system)
- No "changing your mind" so think about which ones you want to submit.
- No photos that previously placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in any of the previous contests will be accepted.
- Voting will begin after the contest closes (see below) and the voting will be by PM to me.
- Only members who joined prior to the creation of this thread will be allowed to vote.
- Voting for yourself will not be allowed.
- You may vote only once.
- Using PMs or emails to encourage people to vote for you is not allowed and I will consider that grounds for disqualification
Contest Winners:
- 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place winners will be determined on the basis of total points awarded to a photograph. The total points will be calculated using the following formula for each photo: (10 x the number of 1^st place votes) + (5 x the number of 2^nd place votes) + (3 x the number of 3^rd place votes).
- Best Photographer will be awarded to the photographer whose photos (as a group) garner the most total points.
Miscellaneous:
- The contest will close when 100 photographs have been received or Noon PST (GMT -8), February 6th, 2009 whichever comes first.
- I will upload the photographs as they are available to an account that I have on ImageEvent.
- As soon as the first photos are submitted, I will provide a link to the photos.

I seem to be unable to view the full size versions of the photos on the site. Is there a reason for this?

Do people need to be your contacts to see them full size? And be logged in?

If you've enabled the 'all sizes' option in your account settings, then anyone can get the full size pic.

Click on any picture. Then in the pale blue area at the bottom of the screen, choose one of the sizes. The default is "Large".

I had a setting that limited downloads to users on my contact list. I have changed that to include everyone.

If you try now, you should be able to download the photos.

I can view the pictures as a guest (in other words not logged in) so unless someone else reports the same problem I have to assume it's a problem with your browser.

I was able to view the 'original' size images without any problems. You need javascript enabled.

no it was because the forum will automatically show a photo if it is single unless you zip it. He didn't want all the photos in this thread.

Re: VB Forums Photography Contest #3

This contest has some really good photos and it also has some photos that are not as good. Isn't that amazing!
