OK It's arrived. the 2014 SKCC Photo Competition.
few quick things.
Keep the posts on track please, some banter and fun is the order of the day but not to the point where we lose sight of the aim!
The idea is that during this year you can take pics to fill out as many of the categories as you want to, each of course being the result of you being out and about in your 'kit'. Although each category has a subject a little lateral thinking might be called for. You can make as many submissions per category as you like and you don't have to complete all 14 to 'win' - i'll explain that in a moment. So don't think that you'll never do the lot so you won't bother entering - have a go and show us what you've got.
Yes we'd like photos that are good quality - but that doesn't mean super expensive cameras and lenses. No, we want to see some fun, some creativity. The Committee will select a shortlist of photos and members will vote for their fav 12, the piccie that attractys most votes will be the overall winner - and that will mean points - and what do points make - prizes
. Those 'winning' pics will be considered and the best will form the main part of a 2015 calendar.
HOW TO......
this year ALL photos submitted MUST be hosted on the SKCC photobucket account - in the relevant 2014 Photo Comp folder, and each must be resized to 640/480.
The username/password is: southernkitcarclub pword = skccpics
once logged in you will see a toolbar, on there there is ALBUMS - click onto that and use the drop down box to navigate to the 2013 photo comp....open it. Once opened you can now upload your piccie....(it tells you how).
I suggest resizing the photo 1st on your pc before uploading, BUT if not......once the photo is on p/bucket if you put your mouse along the top edge of any full sized photo - there's a drop down box option to resize.....but if you are uploading a few at a time then quicker to do on your pc.
on the right side of the page you'll see a box with 4 'codes' in it - just place the mouse over the one that says IMG - this in effect copies the code ( without you needing to do a thing ).....now just 'paste' that code into the selected thread on this Comp Forum......you need do nothing else, it really is that simple.
Preview your post to check that the pic shows and voila, Bobs your proverbial.
