NZDavid Posted December 13, 2009 Share #81 Posted December 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Donations site still down for maintenance, over a day now. I wonder if there is some other way to make a donation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Hi NZDavid, Take a look here The Leica User Forum Book - contributions sought. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share #82 Posted December 13, 2009 The page is working now, and we are up to £2,345 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share #83 Posted December 13, 2009 Can I remind people to PLEASE state your Forum log-in name, as well as your real name, on the JustGiving site, when making donations. Often, real names and login names are completely different, and there is no way that the organisers can cross reference who from the Forum is making donations and submitting entries. There is a space for comments that may be used for this purpose. If you have ONLY quoted your real names to the JustGiving website, PLEASE make it clear when emailing Steve Unsworth your submissions, who you "are" on the Forum. Thanks.

Jlondon53 Posted December 14, 2009 Share #87 Posted December 14, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm a registered Leica User Forum Member for a couple of years now. But I don't know what you mean when you ask to list "Subforum/Chapter name" with my entry. Can anyone please advise? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share #88 Posted December 14, 2009 The sub-sections are those described in the original post in the thread. They reflect the sub-sections in the photo section of the forum. All very simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted December 14, 2009 Share #89 Posted December 14, 2009 They reflect the sub-sections in the photo section of the forum. One slight difference is that there are different sections in the book for landscape and travel. As far as the sections are concerned all you need to do is to indicate for each photograph which of the eight sections - Architecture, Landscape, Nature and Wildlife, Other, People, Sport, Technology and Industry, Travel, is applicable.

NZDavid Posted December 15, 2009 Share #90 Posted December 15, 2009 I kept getting the error message even after clearing the cache on Safari and Firefox (See below). No idea why this link wouldn't work properly; all other sites were fine. I finally tried manually clicking the refresh icon and it worked. Kind of off-putting. A caution if anyone else strikes this problem. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

tyler Posted December 15, 2009 Share #92 Posted December 15, 2009 Where is the website that shows the photos entered so far, or will it come later and what is the address? thanks tyler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share #93 Posted December 15, 2009 There is no website to show what has been submitted so far. As explained in the first post in this thread, all entries need to be received, then they will be judged by the judging panel. Then they will be put into the book. Once the book is published, all entries, in the order in which they have been received, will be available to see on a dedicated website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZDavid Posted December 16, 2009 Share #95 Posted December 16, 2009 Yes, thanks Andy, working now -- submission coming up! Leica site took yonks to load yesterday, fine now. Technology. It just makes me feel dumb. Or maybe I am! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted December 16, 2009 Share #96 Posted December 16, 2009 A few thoughts on the submissions I've received so far. Can you please make sure the photographs are within the forum guidelines regarding size - both pixel dimensions and file size. So far I have received one or two images that are larger than 960 pixels on the longest size. I will resize these before creating the web pages that the judges will see. Also some people have submitted rather small images. Although they fall within the forum guidelines I think they would have benefited from being larger - under 300 pixels on the longest side is probably less than optimum. Thanks.

Quintych Posted December 16, 2009 Share #97 Posted December 16, 2009 Acouple of points concerning my submissions that I would appreciate clarification on. 1. When I made my 30 pound donation I gave both my real name (Don Douglas) and my nickname (Quintych) when I saw the entry on the site, it had only picked up my real name. I will try and point this out with my submissions. 2. Here is the real question. All the data for each image I understand but don't know how it is to be presented. It looks like too my ch to put in the title of each picture attachment, so do you want it in a parragraph of the body of the email with a reference to each of the attached pictures? I have been ready to go to the upload site for sometime but always get wrapped around the axile about the presentation of the associated data. Help, Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share #98 Posted December 16, 2009 So long as you make it clear in your covering email who you are (!), the title of each submission and all the details of each one, that will be fine. Unless you have three shots, all very similar, it will be obvious which info is related to which shot. There is a private section of the JustGiving site that allows me to see who has donated, even if they come up as "anonymous", so that's not a problem either. It MIGHT be a problem if people only use their real names, and don't declare a Forum nick-name, but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. That is why I have asked for everyone to declare their Forum names as well as their real ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted December 16, 2009 Share #99 Posted December 16, 2009 Don, put the details in the body of the email and add the photographs as attachments. Your email should contain the following information for each photograph... Title Sub-forum/Chapter name Equipment used Date taken (approx) Also the following should appear in the email - I only need these once since they apply to all of the photographs. Real name (and Forum nick-name) of contributor Copy of email confirmation from the charity website It also makes my life a little easier if the file name of each attachment is the same as its title. There's more information in the first message in this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintych Posted December 16, 2009 Share #100 Posted December 16, 2009 Steve, I do have a copy of my donation invoice which I will add as an attachment. Thanks for the directions about the info so I can get to your website and upload the images. Things that were notional to others were a problem for me. Here's hoing that I can join you with one of my images in the book. Thanks, Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
