2007-01-10 [Jitter]: Hmm I want to but I don't think I'll manage. Moved in house recently and I have no idea of the whereabouts of my cam :S
2007-01-10 [Linderel]: Aww. That's a shame. :/
2007-01-10 [someelf]: ;__;
2007-01-11 [lady nytmare]: Just one more person... This round is taking ages to begin...
2007-01-11 [Linderel]: That would be two more people, since it seems Jitter can't participate this time. :S But either way, I'll put the first theme up tomorrow morning.
2007-01-11 [someelf]: YAY! o.o
2007-01-11 [Linderel]: *slobber*
2007-01-11 [Linderel]: *nuzzle* Yah, so I see. :O
2007-01-11 [someelf]: ^-^ -lucky bastard- XD -nuzzles muchness-
H Y P E R <3<3
2007-01-13 [ArchangelGabriel]: Heck, has it started? I totaly missed that ><
2007-01-15 [someelf]: :O Theres still time ^-^!
2007-01-15 [Linderel]: [MisLuck] - you put yourself in the wrong list. As the round has already started, you'll have to put your name to the list on the bottom.
2007-01-15 [MisLuck]: oh, thank you =) As the list wasn't full I got a bit confused.
2007-01-15 [Linderel]: I would have wanted a full list, but the round had to be started sometime... Ah well, such is life. :P
2007-01-15 [MisLuck]: well, gladly there is still a lifetime to go and be contesting ^_^
2007-01-27 [Lothuriel]: Dang it, I missed another one!
2007-01-27 [someelf]: Stay! There will be soon a new one :D
2007-01-27 [Lothuriel]: I put my name one the wrong list it would seem. I need to learn to read or something, lol.
2007-01-27 [someelf]: Get glasses :D
2007-01-27 [Lothuriel]: LOL...or a new brain! Any donors? Perhaps [iippo] or [ArchangelGabriel] they are smart...hehe.
2007-01-27 [someelf]: Loblob is sweet ^-^
2007-01-27 [Lothuriel]: Or you...you are smart wanna donate.
2007-01-27 [someelf]: o_o Me? XD You'll get a perverted forgetfull mind :P
2007-01-27 [Lothuriel]:
2007-01-27 [someelf]: Uh oh >XD
2007-02-02 [Linderel]: Okay, here's the deal: You get time till Sunday evening to finish up, then I'm hunting judges and wrapping this thing up. Sound fair? :3
2007-02-02 [someelf]: O.O yush X_x
2007-02-02 [BinaryPhoenix]: Very fair! ^_^
2007-02-02 [someelf]: not really sure on what I should do with the dirty >_<
2007-02-02 [BinaryPhoenix]: I am not sure about Oh Bother...
2007-02-02 [Elmiira]: so you mean we are still allowed to add photos?? And I made them all in a hurry and left them in halfway because I thought they had to be ready by the end of the tenth day. :(
2007-02-02 [Linderel]: Well, of course I would have liked everyone to have their entries in by the end of the tenth day... But it's boring to judge when you don't have a full house, so I'm hoping these slackers get their entries in. :P
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: :D I understand.. But now all my pictures suck and theirs dont. :( Well it's fine with me. :)
2007-02-04 [Linderel]: Aww, they don't suck. :3 You're still missing the photo for the last day, though.
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: well, I couldn't figure out anything.. and I still can't
2007-02-04 [Linderel]: Shame, that. I'd just say keep brainstorming until you do come up with something, but if you've already given up, then I guess there's nothing to be done.
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: But does it really matter if I don't have one pic up?
2007-02-04 [Linderel]: Well, it lessens your chance of winning, for one thing.
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: I know. :D but if I take a stupid photo that has nothing in it, because my mind couldn't make up anything good, it doesn't help much. :D No, really, I have tried to think and make up something.. But it just seems an impossible theme for me. :S I mean, I have no ash to photograph and I don't get anything that would works as a symbol either..
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: Except for the 'word' "äsh.." in finnish.. or then I could burn something on the backyard.. :D
2007-02-04 [Linderel]: Aww. Well, such is life.
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: I know. :) Well, the winning is not the main thing of this competition anyway, is it?
2007-02-04 [Linderel]: Nah, it's not. Like any other contest, participating and having fun is the most important thing. ^_^ And challenging oneself.
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: yes. :) I like the challenge this competition gives.. ir what it should give, I mean to take all the pics during 10 days.. :)
2007-02-04 [Linderel]: Yeah, this round didn't go so well... I hope the next round is better.
2007-02-04 [Elmiira]: :) Yeah, I hope so too.
2007-02-04 [Linderel]: But mainly, with challenging, I meant the themes, not just the time limit.
2007-02-05 [Elmiira]: yeah, I know.. they are challenging enough.. :)
2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: Can I add my name for the next round yet?
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: Go ahead! It would be nice to get someone else to host the next round or the one after that, though, because I want to participate too. xD
2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: Yay!!!
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: You should remove your name from the waiting list. :3
2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: oops, got a little too excited there.
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: ^_^
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: I would also appreciate if you put the waiting list in order after transferring yourself. :P
2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: Oh, sorry. I thought the numbers were always there.
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: Nah, blank spots in the middle are just confusing.
2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]:
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: Aww, 'tis okies. :3 *gives cookie*
2007-02-05 [Lothuriel]: Ooh, I like cookies!
2007-02-05 [Iseld]: erm, i added myself to the ten contestants...
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: Yup, that's how it works.
2007-02-05 [Iseld]: cool, two more ?s then...when's the next round start and where will the theme's be posted? just to make sure i get this right :\
2007-02-05 [Linderel]: The next round will start after the list is full, and the themes will posted on 10 days of photography - Entries.
2007-02-05 [someelf]: Sorry Lin I couldn't enter my last one ._.
2007-02-06 [Elmiira]: Actually, I could consider hosting the next one or the one after that.. I have more time now when my school has ended. :)
2007-02-06 [Linderel]: And we have the winners!
Unfortunately, I only now noticed that [BinaryPhoenix], who is the ultimate winner of this round, apparently participated in the previous round (number 6) as well. According to the rules, this shouldn't happen. This was my mistake as much as [BinaryPhoenix]'s, but I would ask you as participants to keep with this rule more carefully in the future as well.
2007-02-06 [BinaryPhoenix]: Oops! I didn't even notice it! Sorry to everyone! I'm so absendminded these last few months...
2007-02-06 [Ocean Soul]: Now I'm not trying to nitpick, but [BinaryPhoenix] also broke the "No monochrome photos" rule for the last category >>
2007-02-06 [sequeena_rae]: ...Nitpicker :P
2007-02-06 [Ocean Soul]: :( sowwy
2007-02-06 [sequeena_rae]: *glomp* Hehehe xD
2007-02-06 [Linderel]: Oh darn, I only remembered the rule that talks about not manipulating. Bad hostess. >_<
2007-02-06 [sequeena_rae]: *pet* You're doing fine :P
2007-02-06 [Linderel]: :3
2007-04-05 [Simply_Jen]: I'm still fairly new at figuring out how to do everything on here. What exactly did you mean by the personal "10 Days" wiki. I'm sorry if that is a stupid question.
2007-04-05 [MisLuck]: And one thing also; I am a huge fan of Black and White photographing; but I do it on film. Digital BW pictures are flat and dull, is it allowed to put Black and white picture up if it is token as such? (If I have time to develope and scan it on the same day :D You know it's film 'cause it shows bad looking film edges from the scanning)
2007-04-05 [Linderel]: [Simply_Jen], you don't need to worry about the wikis, whoever hosts will set them up for you.
[MisLuck], erm, I don't know about that. This was [pixish]'s vision, so I should ask her, but I have a feeling the answer might well still be 'no'.
2007-04-05 [MisLuck]: I understand where she is going with the rule, but it still feels quite odd that you can't put up original pictures. It puts a lot of borders to creaticity in a way. But it's not a problem, I can do colour pictures, it's just odd.
2007-04-05 [Linderel]: Well, try thinking it like this: How well can you work within those borders, how well can you compensate for being limited by these regulations? I understand how it might seem odd, but this contest is about plain photography where everyone stands on the same starting line and where no one has the advantage of manipulation or b&w or anything else, really. It all comes down to how well you portray the theme with no tricks employed.
Eh, I may be going off on a tangent here, I'm not Pixaysh so I can't know for sure what she was thinking, but I like it either way. :3
2007-04-05 [MisLuck]: Well, you can scan them when the border is... well I have a picture of scanned picture on my house, the borders are not clean, or then you can photoshoot it toward bright light when it is clearly seen that it is a film. But in the end, with coloured pictures also, we can never know who has used photoshop and who hasn't. Camera's give out different looking pictures and the light influences to the outcome also, so they might look very different. These are matter of trust. I think everyone will enjoy more if one takes plain photographs and people like it. It shows you can photoshoot, not that you can use one program. But we can't be sure.
2007-04-05 [Linderel]: Yes, it is a matter of trust... But I'm not changing the rules either way, since they're not my rules to change. We'll just keep going with plain coloured photographs and hope everyone remembers to be honest. :P
2007-04-05 [MisLuck]: I hope it also. =) At least to me these competitions is a fun way to try out what I can do and what just doesn't work out :D
This is a bit more principle question here as I have my hands full of work and to do BW film, develope it and scan would be half of a workday and my little 24 hours hardly is enough now...
2007-04-07 [Elmiira]: hmm.. :) Is the host for the next round decided yet?
2007-04-08 [Linderel]: Not really. xD I figure we should decide whether to get the entrant list full or just start the contest if it's not full by some specific date, first. :P
2007-04-08 [Iseld]: i wanna play!!! hehe
2007-04-09 [Lothuriel]: Add your name. There is only one spot left.
2007-04-09 [Linderel]: What list are you looking at, Loth? :P
2007-04-09 [Lothuriel]: There is only no. 14 left.
2007-04-09 [Lothuriel]: ANd there is only one more place int he contestants list.
2007-04-09 [Linderel]: The waiting list can be as long as it gets. <_<
And the contestant list has two places left.
2007-04-09 [MisLuck]: So why doesen't the people in waiting list sign up? Vink vink...
2007-04-09 [Ocean Soul]: Some of them might have participated in the last round and are therefore not allowed to enter this one.. or they don't have time right now >>
2007-04-09 [Iseld]: i thought there were only ten contestants allowed at a time, and i'm already on there, i'm waiting for it to start...
2007-04-09 [Ocean Soul]: well, there are >> and so far only 8 signed up, which is why it won't start..
2007-04-09 [Linderel]: And like has been done before, we can start with less than ten contestants if we get tired of waiting, so I propose setting a deadline for the sign-up. :P
2007-04-10 [MisLuck]: I hope the time limit is 2 weeks ahead.. Looks like I have to work 24 hours a day soon to get everything ready in time.. But time limit would be good as there seems to come competitians so slowly
2007-04-11 [Linderel]: Decided to participate. If you're still up for hosting, [Elmiira], then be my guest. :D
2007-04-11 [MisLuck]: \o/ Horray for Linderel!
2007-04-11 [Simply_Jen]: Ooh we are getting closer to starting. How exciting!
2007-04-11 [Elmiira]: hehe. :D I've had nothing but time till this time, but this week and the next, there are gonna be days I'm not at home at all.. or have any access to computer. :D I would love to but then this would have to wait.
2007-04-11 [MisLuck]: well I'm still hoping this would take at least 9 days more as I'm having my ahnds full of work with the closing job. After that I have nothing but time.
2007-04-12 [Simply_Jen]: I have nothing but time all the time so waiting is no big deal for me. I so need to get a life.
2007-04-12 [Faery]: I am leaving for an 8 day trip around the Baltic countries on the 16th, so if it starts between the 16th and the 23rd, I might not be able to participate :(
2007-04-12 [MisLuck]: There is net cafes and you have lots to photograph there! ;)
2007-04-12 [Elmiira]: I would be only happy if this would start after 23rd.. :D then I would be able to host it and I would have enough time to do it too.
2007-04-22 [BlackDragon]: Hmm.. Can I enter..?
2007-04-22 [Linderel]: Can't see why you couldn't. :D
2007-04-22 [BlackDragon]: alright, when will it start..?
2007-04-22 [Linderel]: That we aren't sure of yet, apparently.
2007-04-22 [BlackDragon]: okay, I guess I'll just have to check Elftown everyday or so =)
2007-04-22 [Linderel]: You mean to say you don't live here? xD
2007-04-22 [BlackDragon]: Of course I live here! Its just that I.. eh.. travel a lot! ^^;
2007-04-22 [Elmiira]: ah.. maybe I should say that I won't be able to do it alone at least. I got my summerjob started already. and now I'm working everyday. plus, my net connection doesn't work properly. So that's why I am not able to promise I could be here everyday at the same time. :S If there was another host, then maybe.. :S
2007-04-22 [Forever Equine]: Woohoo! 10 contestants...
2007-04-22 [MisLuck]: How do we get the information about the theme and where we upload it? *ask the stupid one*
2007-04-22 [Linderel]: The themes will be posted on the 10 days of photography - entries page, where you will also put your submissions. You'll have to make sure that your submissions are in your personal wikis (which will be created for you by the host/hosts), too.
2007-04-23 [and i was a kaleidoscope]: when do we start?
2007-04-23 [Linderel]: That's the third time someone asks that. <_<
We don't know!
2007-04-23 [sequeena_rae]: When do we start xPPPP
2007-04-23 [Linderel]: *beats* You're not even in! xD
2007-04-23 [sequeena_rae]: *nurses baddie* Damn xD
2007-04-23 [MisLuck]: Now I'm afraid to ask anything about WHEN DO WE START. ;)
Are the personal wiki's informed in here or with messages? I'm just concerned I'll miss the start. That could happen. :/
2007-04-23 [Linderel]: The personal wikis are linked on the entry page. You should put that one on watch and you won't miss it. :)
2007-04-24 [and i was a kaleidoscope]: sorry, my bad. i'm not very good at reading other people's comments before posting my own...
2007-05-06 [and i was a kaleidoscope]: is this ever going to happen?
2007-05-06 [Linderel]: There have been some long gaps before... But based on what [Elmiira] said, we probably need someone else to host this.
Actually... I think I'll host this round after all, if that's okay with everyone. I should minimise all things that could get in the way of my reading (uni entrance exams in a month) and hosting takes up less of my time than participating. We'll just try to find someone to take my place as participant, and start up next week. How's that sound?
2007-05-06 [MisLuck]: I'm not sure do I have to drop myself out son as I will be away from internet for a longer while soon I guess.
But I'll look 'till next week, I would really like to participant in this.
2007-05-06 [and i was a kaleidoscope]: next week sounds great. i was just getting anxious because i have some other things on my mind you know?
2007-05-07 [MisLuck]: I'm going away for 4 days next week, but I hope I'll have an opportunity to get in the net somewhere still! Getting exited as this is starting. Have fun everybody and enjoy! ^^
2007-05-17 [Linderel]: Well, meh. It died again. xD
Someone try to get that last slot filled, and regardless of whether we have ten people or not, this will start next Monday. I'm sorry I've been neglecting this, but that thing called 'real life' is taking a lot of my time...
2007-05-18 [Lothuriel]:
2007-05-23 [Linderel]: I seriously need to start using those self-messages to remind me about stuff like this... Okay. NOW.
I'll put the first theme up 8pm Elftown time.
2007-05-23 [shotokan_gal]: Yay :D
2007-05-23 [MisLuck]: So... is it going to be only today's theme? I have to sleep, and 8pm elftown's time is late, and then I wouldn't have time to put it up, nor even see what the theme is if it is only for today! It would be nice if it would be possible that the themes would be a bit earlier in this contest or then we would have 24 hours to do it.
2007-05-23 [Lothuriel]: I don't think you have to post the entry on the same day as the theme is posted. As long as you have all 10 photos up before the deadline you're covered. If am I wrong then someone please let me know.
2007-05-23 [MisLuck]: I understood it has to be posted the same day, so that no one would add a picture afterwards.
2007-05-23 [Lothuriel]: *is confused now*
2007-05-23 [shotokan_gal]: Assuming each day lasts 24 hours, I'd guess that day 1 only ends (for the purposes of the contest) at 8pm ET-time tommorow. It works out as being spread over two days for some of us, but that can't be helped with timezones. [Linderel] can clarify though hopefully.
2007-05-23 [Lothuriel]: I was going by the way things were the first time I participated. I used traditional 35mm film that took at least two days to develop. There was no problem for the first round....so I don't know.
2007-05-23 [Linderel]: Yeah, the first day would end at 8pm ET time tomorrow, but I can put the first theme up right now if that would be better. Anyhow, as [Lothuriel] said, as long as you have all the pictures in the wikis by the deadline, you're covered.
2007-05-23 [MisLuck]: Okay. Good then. I have understood we must put up everything up on the same day to avoid the conflict about putting old/afterward shooted pictures up. In days when computer breaks down at home or having no net it would save, as can put up a picture later. Thanks for the clearing!
2007-05-23 [Linderel]: Well, it's preferred that you use new pictures, and that you'd take each picture on the day you should, but it's understandable if you can't submit during the same day for some reason or another.
2007-05-23 [MisLuck]: Well, it would take the floor under the competitions feet if someone puts old or not for this competition token pictures up. This will hopefully be fun to take great picture per day. Should do that otherwise also. Would stay in shape all the time if try to beat myself every day...
2007-05-23 [Linderel]: Hehe.
Hmm, alright, I'll put the first theme up now, so the day starts at 3pm ET time.
2007-05-23 [MisLuck]: okay. =) Great! This girl gets her camera ready and will be shooting. ^^
2007-05-23 [12345Jo]: Any chanse I get to join in the last second? You still seem to have a spot to fill and I thought it'd be interesting to join. I can wait til the next round though.
2007-05-23 [Linderel]: Sure you can hop in! :D I'll make you a submission wiki right away.
2007-05-23 [12345Jo]: Thank you :D Will do my best to "keep up". Already got two different thoughts for the first theme so I felt I had to enter.
2007-05-23 [MisLuck]: Nice to have the last spot filled =)
2007-05-23 [12345Jo]: Yeah :) Good luck to all the contestants :) Not that the contest itself really matters to me personally - I just love the idea of doing something like this (1 photo/day) and a competition makes it a bit more motivating and more interesting (I love to see how others thing when they compose a picture - because every photographer has his/her own personality and thought patterns to apply to each theme.) I just love the diversity of the human minds :)
2007-05-24 [MisLuck]: How can i upload a bigger image? I set the longer side to be 1000px (with screen resolution), but as I uploaded to my page it got smaller and I don't like that so small size. I can't find the page where was guided how to upload a zip file or so to your wikipage, help please?
2007-05-24 [Linderel]: You have priv 99, so you don't need to use the 'upload a folder of images' thingy. On the bottom of every wiki page you should see an upload form. You can upload it to the entry page or your own personal submission page, or to a separate upload page of your own.
2007-05-24 [Simply_Jen]: I'm sorry I couldn't post yesterday. My husband came home after being gone for a month. I'll try to get both today's and yesterday's up by the end of the day.
2007-05-24 [MisLuck]: By the way, how can we upload the picture to the entry page as it's changing? I'm not sure will i have time to post my picture tomorrow as I'm having exams and shootings on the same day but I'll take the picture tomorrow some time.
2007-05-25 [Linderel]: The just put it on your submissions page.
2007-05-25 [Elmiira]: misluck.. you're good at this.. :D I love both of your photos this far.. so meaningful. and really good, if you think how little time you have to do it..
2007-05-25 [MisLuck]: Thank you, [Elmiira]! I really don't think those are any piece of art, but I'm glad that the idea comes out clear. You're so kind ^^
2007-05-25 [Elmiira]: I'm not kind.. just telling what I was thinking :)
2007-05-26 [BlackDragon]: I've been waiting for this to start and when it does, I miss it. Blahness.
2007-05-26 [12345Jo]: Don't you only need to participate in 5 (or more) of the days to "pass"? I think you should still join in on this BlackDragon - we need more people and you are on the list for this one. You've only missed two - you can still join in for the other 8.
2007-05-26 [Linderel]: And it is allowed to put the missed days in afterwards. :3
2007-05-26 [MisLuck]: You can put them in your personal wiki.
2007-05-26 [BlackDragon]: If I've understood this right; I can still jump in and take photos of the days I missed and enter them? If so, can I do it now or 'afterwards'?
2007-05-26 [MisLuck]: Well, Linderel is the keeper of this round and if she says "Linderel: And it is allowed to put the missed days in afterwards. :3" I think it's ok and we really want more people to hop in now and be in this so come and join!
2007-05-26 [Elmiira]: yeah.. I believe the main thing is that you have all the pic by the end of these ten days on your personal wiki :)
2007-05-26 [Linderel]: Yes. *nod nod* Just try and catch up. ^_^
2007-06-12 [Linderel]: We have the winners! :D
2007-06-12 [ally]: We are the winners!? :o
2007-06-14 [Simply_Jen]: Congrats to all of the winners! I was wondering how long I have to wait to enter since I didn't get to go through with it last time because my computer went down.
2007-06-14 [Linderel]: Hm, since you didn't post anything, we could stretch the no-sequential-
2007-06-14 [ally]: I'd sign up but since I have to take some exams the next two weeks I might not be able/in the mood to take pictures inbetween ><
2007-06-14 [Simply_Jen]: I don't mind waiting. I'm sure you'll have enough people wanting to do it this time.
2007-06-15 [Linderel]: I wouldn't mind being able to participate myself for a change... *sigh* :P
2007-06-18 [nekorin]: There is this thing. I'm gonna participate *if* the contest won't start before next monday. 'cause I'm gonna be away from home and all sort's of combuters from 21'st to 24'th
2007-06-18 [Linderel]: It probably won't, the sign-up is generally slow.
2007-07-01 [nekorin]: btw round 6 themes where really gooooood
2007-07-01 [Elmiira]: I had to take myself off the participant list because I don't have an internet connection at the moment :/
2007-07-01 [Lothuriel]: I am so disappointed. I didn't get to participate! *sighs* Maybe I can try again in a few weeks...
2007-07-09 [nekorin]: You where right sister... this round is never going to start.
2007-07-10 [Linderel]: Yeah, and I'm going to have to remove myself because of my trip. *sigh* Oh well. :P
2007-08-20 [Elmiira]: back and running again :D I suggest that we just start the competition with the 8 competitians and get over with it :D
2007-08-20 [Linderel]: I concur xD
2007-08-21 [Elmiira]: Well, there's always been a few of those who don't submit any photos at all in the comptetition, having forgotten or otherwise.. So I would decide a date, then send a message to all those 8 on the list and tell when the competition will start, and then just start it.. If all these eight would really be in this thing, it would be the same as any other round :)
2007-08-21 [Linderel]: There's just one small problem. Who will host?
2007-08-21 [Elmiira]: grap.. :D so there's no host? XD
2007-08-21 [Linderel]: Well... I was kind of wanting to participate for a change...
2007-08-21 [Simply_Jen]: I'd be happy to host, but I'm afraid I'd screw something up.
2007-08-21 [Linderel]: I can assist you if you like. :) Mainly just answer any questions you might have, or point out if you did something wrong.
2007-08-21 [Elmiira]: I could help too.. but I want to participate myself :D
2007-08-22 [Simply_Jen]: Ok. I'll be happy to do it. I'm a good bit behind everyone in time difference so I'll have to figure out what time will be best to start it, but how about we start it this weekend so I have a few days to make sure I know what I am doing and notify those signed up to make sure they know when it's starting?
2007-08-22 [Linderel]: Sounds good to me. :)
In relation to the Elftown time, how much behind are you?
2007-08-22 [Simply_Jen]: I'm 10 hours behind UTC.
2007-08-22 [Linderel]: Traditionally this has been started at 8am or 10am UTC. Think you could do that?
2007-08-22 [Linderel]: *nod* Just pick what seems a sensible time and try to keep it there.
2007-08-22 [Elmiira]: I think few hours here or there would be so big thing.. :) What's fine for you is fine for us
2007-08-22 [Elmiira]: I could help for example by making those pages ready for all the competitians..
