photo comp

Ive been thinking about this for a while now but finally decided at last night's meeting to get my finger out and do something about it.

The idea is to get as many entries as possible with the idea of making the best into a calender

Colin is going to create a page in the photo album where entries can be posted

enter as many time as you like ideally it should be nhpc sites but not compulsory any good photos that show off our sport would do

We will judge it probably in September not sure what the prize is yet so make sure you have your cameras with you and get snapping

I tried uploading a photo the other day (about spring thermals) and failed miserably - isn't there an easier way than uploading them online before we can re up load them onto this site?

Will there be a few more loose house rules for the Nhpc calendar photo comp?

nhpc sites only - but what about snaps from the lakes, dales or other sites eg (lcc Classic)? that include nhpc members - or flying holidays abroad?

New photos taken this year only?

Who are the judges?

Historically these types of competition don't get a lot of entries so to fill the calendar I would leave the constraints pretty loose as in paragliding related. And photos are usually voted for by the club as a whole. Where are you trying to upload to? Are you using the link next to the forum link above?

Cheers Colin - I tried again using my pc and still couldn't upload. If ok I'll give you a bell over next few days to see if I can figure it out.

Understood re photo comp thanks

The photo album has a maximum file size limit of 340kb mind.

you can enter any photo for the competition just thought it would be good to showcase nhpc sites on the calender

The way it was done in the past entries had to be hard copies brought along to the meetings then all laid out on a table and voted on with raffle tickets

now that we have the benefit of the web site would be daft not to use it I would still like to get prints laid out on a table for judging but thats a good few months away so will sort that out nearrer the time

lets just see what we get in the way of entries first

You'll also need someone to get all the entered pictures in the original quality so they can be printed in high quality for the calendar.

As long as it's NHPC pilots, I don't think it should matter where they are in the world...In fact, the more adventurous the better I think.

I hope our Birdman gets a great pic at this years comp!

Bill I know we said as many entries as you like but you really shouldn't upload the same photo twice, nice try but I've deleted the second one

cheers Colin I had trouble making it small then couldn't get rid of it

maybe we need a tutorial on how to do it ,or maybe thats just me

good point from angus to keep the original file

Post by **colin keightley** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 9:38 am

I'll be asking everyone for the originals just before the judging

Can I suggest that more people uploaded some of their great pictures to the calendar comp page: http://www.nhpc.org.uk/nhpc/album_cat.php?cat_id=5

It looks like not many know where to/how to upload so if you need advice I don't mind helping...I'm sure some of the other moderately techy members of the club will too

We definitely want a wide variety of choices when it comes to picking the best for the calendar so please be forthcoming with your hidden gems!

Also, at the bottom of each picture is a rating button where you can rate how good the picture is which should help Bill & the rest of the judges in choosing which are the best of the best

If people have issues posting photos you could post them on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Northumb ... 6253357623

Also if you have not taken the photo yourself (personally), you must give the photographer full credit and have their permission otherwise it cannot be printed in the calender, any successful photos that fall into this category would need this proof.
