diesel falcon Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 so do the pics need to be taken this year? just thinking of winter shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 No as it's our first (As far as I know) I'd say it's ok that they are a few years old.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Iain, You've managed to confuse me (easily done) The title of this thread states the 2015 photo competition. You then go on to say that the calendar would be available in the autumn of 2016 ! Are they being printed or is each one individually painted ? lol Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Jeff, I've reworded slightly.. We mean the calender will be produced in the autumn (this year) ready to be proudly hung on your walls for January 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Will my entries that were selected and submitted last year still be used as stated at the close of that thread or are you starting again from scratch? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi David Your photos get my vote, they were stunning Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hi Dave, I cannot see why you cannot re-enter the pics you took in April etc. But may require confirming from a higher authority. In saying that, I will be entering older pics, as I only get down now once a year. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hi Dave, I see no reason why you can't resubmit ones from last year although you would need to upload them using the submission page (The submission page will check that they are a high enough quality for the printers I coded the submission page yesterday but annoyingly when I uploaded it wont connect to the database, I've emailed the hosting company and hopefully they will soon click a button and it will all be working soon. I'll put a post up as soon as it's there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Thanks Jonzo Let me know if you need the photos again. I think they are still in Dropbox (if not I can make the link live again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Ok Guys, I think it's working. Please still try and upload the largest quality image you have. So direct from your mobile phone or camera. I'm not sure what it will do on a tablet so perhaps try on a computer. Credit to Peter (JennyMorgan) for trying this last year. Fingers crossed this works this year Upload your images here: Back Soon I need to do the image gallery so we can see what's been uploaded and a voting section but for now just get uploading!

Poggymale Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Think I have done it correctly and apologies if have uploaded the same photo twice! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Sorry Guys, the validation doesn't quite seem to be there so I need to look again.. Please don't post any pictures for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanW Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi Alan (JawsOrca) Do you have any idea what style the calendar will be? I am thinking what format ratio do you require and can the photographs be horizontal and vertical or just horizontal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The images will need to be landscape, and from a 10 megapixel camera or better (and taken at the camera's full resolution, if it's close to 10 megapixels) Now before I start to send in any of my efforts , what does all that mean please. What happened to take a snap with your box Brownie? I have a Nikon D3200 - is what it produces in line with the instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanW Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hi Alan I am having trouble uploading pictures, I have tried a few times with different files but am getting the following error message: ERROR: You haven't entered your NBN Member Name. Please enter Your NBN Member Name name and try again. ERROR: You haven't uploaded a picture or we are having problems reading that picture, Please upload a picture try again. I have double checked my username, used JPEGs and the width is 3934 pixels. Just a thought, is it because I do not have enough posts?
