As the winner of the last round (The Gap of Time / Die Kluft der Zeit) it is my great pleasure to set the theme for the next Barnack Challenge. So for the Barnack Challenge #30 I have chosen the theme "Autoportrait"

 

The dates are:

Taking pictures:            June 25th to July 10th

Posting pictures:          July11th to July 24th

Voting:                         July 25th to August 7th

 

Good luck!

 

Regards,

 

Christoph

 

 

As a reminder here the rules:

 

The Barnack Challenge runs four times a year.

 

It is open to all Leica User Forum members.

 

In order to participate you must shoot a roll of film in line with a predefined theme within a defined period using a Screwmount or early fixed-lens Leica. You may use any lens, regardless of age or manufacturer, as long as it is LTM.

 

Select your shot that in your view best matches the theme and post it onto a single thread set up for the purpose by the organiser in the Barnack Challenge Sub Forum. Post-processing of your image should be kept to a minimum - nothing that couldn't be done in a wet darkroom fifty years ago. You may post your image any size within forum rules.

 

The thread will be open for postings but NOT for voting to allow all entries to be posted before voting starts. Your entries are not anonymous; feel free to post camera, lens and film details.

 

Voting will then be opened. Votes may then be cast on the following basis:

 

Three points for best, two points for second and one point for third.

 

Voting runs for two weeks. One vote per member, no voting for your own image.

 

The winner gets the right to set the theme for the next Barnack Challenge.

Zur Erinnerung hier nochmal die Regeln:

 

Die Barnack Challenge findet vier mal im Jahr statt.

 

Jedes Leica User Forum Mitglied ist Teilnahmeberechtigt.

 

Zur Teilnahme muessen Sie einen Film belichten, wobei die Photos dem gestellten Thema entsprechen sollten und innerhalb der angegebenen Zeit enstanden sein muessen. Die Photos muessen mit einer Schraubleica oder einer fruehen Leica mit fest eingebautem Objektive entstanden sein. Alle Objektive mit Schraubanschluss unabhaengig vom Alter oder Hersteller koennen verwendet werden.

Waehlen Sie das Photo das Ihrer Meinung nach am besten dem gestellten Thema entspricht und stellen Sie es in den entsprechenden Thread im Barnack Challenge Subforum. Die Bilder sollten nur minimal am Computer manipuliert werden (Post-processing) - nur solche Manipulationen sind zugestanden die auch in einer Dunkelkammer vor 50 Jahren moeglich waren. Sie koennen Ihr Photo in jeder den Forumsregeln entsprechenden Groesse einstellen.

 

Das Abstimmen beginnt nachdem alle Beitraege in einem gegebenen Zeitraum eingestellt sind. Ihre Bilder sind nicht anonym, und sie koennen auch gerne den verwendeten Kameratyp, Objektiv und Film angeben.

 

Nachdem der Zeitraum zum Hochladen der Bilder abgelaufen ist beginnt die Abstimmung. Jedes Forumsmitglied das abstimmt muss dreimal Punkte verteilen:

Drei Punkte fuer das beste Bild

Zwei Punkte fuer das zweitbeste Bild

Einen Punkt fuer das drittbeste Bild

 

Jedes Forumsmitglied kann einmal abstimmen, darf jedoch nicht fuer den eigenen Beitrag stimmen.

 

Der Gewinner bestimmt das Thema fuer die folgende Barnack Challenge.

The only problem is my lllf doesn't have an 'auto' setting ......

... and my arm isn't long enough for the minimal distance of the Elmar ... :)

How many of us will need to oil their old  Leitz ABDOO self-timer?

Finally, ideas surged and I have settled on my shot.

The best part was the ergonomics of actually 'doing' it.

Film processed. Scanning later today.

Fire up guys, I am anxious to see your brilliance. (Mines just ordinary)

I used a Leica IIIg copy (a Nicca) with a 50/3.5 Elmar believing at the time it that it was a legitimate combination but I now note that the rules stipulate that a screwmount Leica camera must be used so I regret that my picture will be ineligible so I shall not enter it.

That's a shame Pete. Could you not re-shoot the pic with your real Leica? Your entries are always challenging and we need that.

Otherwise, do a different pic. I know your up for it.

Besides, you'll need the practice for Lisbon. :D

Unfortunately not, Erl, because it involved 9 other forum members and was shot in the Netherlands.  I'm not sure whether I have the time to produce another but I'll certainly try.

 

I was (wrongly) working under the assumption that it was the normal forum rules of a Leica camera or lens or both, albeit a screwmount camera for this challenge of course, but the rules say otherwise.  

Step One: read the rules.

Step Two: refer to step one.

 

Pete.

Christoph,

 

Not so much an advantage as a convenience. ;)  In all other aspects it's exactly the same as a IIIg.  If I can find the time this weekend I'll ask my IIIg to perform its magic.

 

(For those who aren't familiar with the Nicca Series 5 it has a rear door that's similar to an M3's rear door.  It looks, feels, and handles the same as a IIIg.)

 

Pete.

Dear all,

 

Picture taking is now closed, however for those who have done so, there's the opportunity to upload the results in the "Upload your Pictures here" thread.

 

Für diese Challenge können ab heute keine neuen Photos mehr gemacht werden. Dafür können schon gemachte Photos im thread "Hier bitte Eure Bilder hochladen" hochgeladen werden.

 

Regards / Gruß

 

Christoph

Thanks for progressing the Challenge Christoph.

 

As a technically challenged person I am having trouble finding the upload thread. Can you supply a link to it, or describe where I may find it.

Thanks.
