Adam, do you take in account the local time zone a member is located in for these time limits?

So if I get on a plane and fly West, I should be able to get more than 24 hours worth of shooting. Wohoo!

[high-fives himself cos he's beat the system]

I hope everyone enjoys photos of flight attendants and plane food

Mechan1k · 03-24-2008, 07:08 AM

Woo hoo .... Us Aussies and NZ'ers will have to wait for the rest of the world to catch up for uploading though ... wonder if the gallery will be open for uploading for our timezones.

Putting a calendar note in my phone to remind me of the day.

Will be attending a formal dinner/gathering of Philippine photographers that day... expect to see photos of the "other" camera users in my part of the world! (Since we Pentaxians are always the minority anywhere in the world

)
