Beau Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks for bearing with me this month and sorry that the August competition is so late. However, never fear as I can now announce what it is. This months competition is a guess the object from the photo's competition. There are now 10 images in the gallery which you can find here. These are the first 10, there will be a further 10 posted at the weekend. The competition is very simple, just look at the photos and identify the objects. Once all 20 images are posted then you can pm me with your answers - anyone who is unsure how to do this just say and I will try to explain. Please don't post your answers in this thread or in the gallery! Rules: 1. Only one entry per member is allowed 2. Moderators can join in with the fun and message answers but are not eligible to win 3. Closing date for entries will be Monday 31st August 4. Once all entries have been received, the person with the most correct answers will be the winner 5. If more than one person has the same number of correct answers then names will be drawn randomly to determine the winner 6. Any complaints can be sent to Steve and any praise to me! 7. The rules may change at any time as or when I think of something I haven’t already covered :wacko: Lastly, a very big thank you to Inge who not only came up with the idea of the competition, but has also contributed half the photos and has been a massive help in getting this set up.

HappyMaz Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Am loving this competition already - well done Inge for a brilliant idea (I do think Beau might have changed rule 8 [and what happened to rules 6 and7?] to reflect your contribution!) Is there just one winner this month Beau, or will there be a runner up too? Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 That'll teach me to cut and paste without my brain engaged Maz! I'll quickly scuttle off and change it before anyone else notices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Great Idea Great pics too, it's really hard to take these type of pics without the flash spoiling the pic quality. One query, I notice the pics are placed in the library in reverse order, now I know the are all very different but do we list the objects by the JPEG number? ie: First object is actually JPEG 10? (hope that makes sense) Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Good point Peggy! Yes, as each one is uploaded it 'bumps' the rest along. When you pm the answers, you need to list them in JPEG order, starting at number 1 which will be the last in the list. I hope this hasn't confused anyone.

(hope that makes sense) Peggy You can go to the bottom of the pictures and sort by uploaded date/in ascending order and they will become 1 - 20 in the right order.

catma Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 If you number them they will because the jpegs keep their original file numbers so I expect they would!! Any judges out there to comment?? I can only do about 3 anyway - v hard, but I do have a mug and badge so the incentive isn't so strong maybe!!! Cx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
