So .... I seem to have been "volunteered" to set up some sort of treasure hunt for my camera club. HELP!!!! This event would probably involve a walk around a pleasant market town either with a load of photographic clues to solve, or with various photographic tasks to accomplish. It would be an...

I'm a bit of a horse enthusiast, so good portraits of famous horses, with or without riders would do it for me...... I'd also like to get better at urban/street photography, as this is an area i like but never seem to really get to grips with.

Yes .. definitely. In fact, I'm going to put one on my Christmas list.

Glad i'm not the only one who keeps clothes for ages!! Some of my gear is years old and still going strong, but I've never been into "fashion", so my stuff just sort of stays in style and gets chucked out when it's worn out. As most of it came from charity shops in the first place, I'm...

It wouldn't occur to me to tip my postman. He's a nice guy, who does a good job with a smile on his face, but I never tip him. TBH, I never know how much to tip people: an amount which says "Thanks you've done a good job" ... but not so much as to be over generous. I find the whole business a...

Just catching up and spotted this one. Where did you end up? I ask because I'm near Burton too and always looking for new locations.

Thanks all for the input. Some lovely work there Meeks and HopefulM ... exactly what we were thinking of. We were actually thinking of having people print images and having 4 400x500 mounts, but this has shown me that you can actually be achieved using just one, which is great. Could I ask you...

Just out of interest ... why?

:ty: ... worth asking anyway ....

Sounds good to me. Where are you based Dave, I'm looking for people for next season? (See also my thread on panel comps ..... :))

I've been away for a while as life seems to have taken over just lately, but going to try to get back in the groove in 2017. Blowing the dust off the camera, putting the batteries on charge and limbering up for the off. Might not do every week, but I will commit to trying ......

Now that's an interesting idea? I'm just wondering how ours would come across ....

Not wanting to de-rail the other thread on marking club competitions (which improving to be interesting reading for those of us who are into that sort of stuff ...), my club are proposing a new event for our calendar, to replace something we've done for years nd which has run its course. We are...

Got a new iMac recently, so very tempted. Following with interest ...

It's because, when marking out of 20, rather than 10, we (as a club) don't direct judges at all in the use of the range of scores. We did have a judge who scored images as low as 7 out of 20 on one occasion, as he thought the work was pretty poor compared to other work in the same set. Fair...
