May I suggest not putting people's names on the photos for the next voting thread? Justice must not only be done, it must be seen to be done, if you know what I mean.

Very true, however we all have our own styles and can pretty much figure out who took what after seeing their work a few times

**Adam** · 10-29-2006, 06:59 PM

Ok- no more names in the voting threads

You'll still be able to see the submission threads, though.

Now, back to this month's contest

Now there's a thought for another competition - match the photo to the user name!

**Adam** · 10-30-2006, 06:35 PM

I bet that'd be fun- you can try it in the Mini Photo Challenges and Games forum!

*roentarre* · 10-30-2006, 09:50 PM

Sounds like fun...

I would have to get a 100d before k10d gets released though

Getting back to my question, I wonder if i can submit photo scanned from negative or slide film??

Sure- it doesn't have to be digital, but I do prefer Pentax entries

Do the photos have to be taken during the month of the contest? (I may be getting photo contests mixed up here...)

**Adam** · 11-10-2006, 09:48 PM

No- they can be taken at any time

OK, it is your forum and your rules. But, if I had input, I would say the contest is more fun when the photos have to be taken during the month of the contest. It gives you more of the thrill of the hunt as opposed to just going through your old collections for photos.

little laker · 11-17-2006, 03:44 PM

Although it is more fun that way jsundin it just isn't practical.
For example, if the theme is farms for F there'll be several people living in the city that just won't have the chance to take a picture that month.
The same goes with me taking a photo of a cityscape. I have some from when I went to Quebec, but I haven't seen a big city in almost a year.

The hunting of the shot for the monthly contest will be a lot of fun but if you have a topic like "snow", I would have to photograph my own freezer struggling for ideas.

I guess it depends on the topic set for each month with some flexibility (adam will decide time frames for each contest topic)

doggydude · 11-28-2006, 06:35 AM

OK - so I just submitted my animal.

If I'm understanding this, I should have gone to the URL in the recent e-mail I got form here (the reminder about the contest and announcing the new section), and posted up my own new thread with my pic attached.

Correct?

So that would leave me unable to see anyone else's submissions...I think.

**Adam** · 11-30-2006, 10:55 PM

The November contest is now officially over.
