World PENTAX Day: June 18th, 2011 general info/questions
Posted By: Adam, 06-02-2011, 11:37 PM

Hello everyone,

This will serve as the official discussion/question thread for our 10th installment of the World Pentax Day event, which will take place on June 18th, 2011.

Overview of the Event


The full details can be found on our homepage. In a nutshell, this is an event in which Pentax users from around the world all go out and shoot on the same day (individually or in groups, it's up to you) and then post photos in a collective gallery. Photos must be taken on June 18th, but can be uploaded between then and the end of the month into the gallery. Each photographer may upload up to 5 photos.

RSVP to the event on the official PENTAX facebook page: World PENTAX Day | Facebook

>> Click here to upload (page opens on June 18th) <<

Giveaway

In addition to the main event, we will be giving away one Pentax limited lens to a lucky participant (it will likely be the DA 40mm). The more photos you post (remember that the limit is 5), the higher your chances are of winning!

After uploading your photos, all you will have to do is post in a thread stating you'd like to partake in the giveaway (it is open to users worldwide) as well as like us on facebook. Also, you will have to visit the facebook page of our sponsor. That's it - we'll take care of the rest!

Full details on the event are in this separate thread, and questions related to the giveaway should go there:

I don't think uploading pictures is the confusing part- but with the giveaway in the way of everything, it might become a bit confusing. In any case, the procedures for both are clearly documented on the homepage:

I used the Export feature in Photoshop to compress these to JPEGs...will that erase the EXIF data?

It shouldn't but save for web will definitely strip it.

If they're already in the gallery, don't worry about it

That's just before 5pm mountain, but since Az doesn't observe daylight savings, I suspect you're in a different time zone right now.

Awesome. That'll give me and my partner into tomorrow to get these shots from Yellowstone processed and entered.

Thanks for the clarification!

Clint
