earleygallery Posted September 8, 2010 Share #9 Â Posted September 8, 2010 Why not just follow the format of the Barnack Challenge? Choose a topic, give a time frame for shooting and posting a single image, then a period for people to vote for their favourite image. Â The winner gets to choose the next topic.

You'll upset the Mods, there is a separate 'challenge' forum for this sort of thing. It's not just a case of posting random photos, use the photo forum - that's what it's there for!

In which case I prefer a more immediate gratification and not just empty theoretical talk, or bickering as you put it. There is only that much attention span for many, really.  Walk the walk, not talk the talk. Thats the bottom line. Ball's in your court. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's informal anyway, so let's keep it at that. Less restrictions, less angst. Just a bunch of X1ers having a ball. I am willing to sponsor prizes. Wait, does that mean I cannot participate, or cannot win?? haha.... Â I am all for outside help to formulate rules if they are genuinely wanting to help, even the particular gentleman, but it must not take forever, and it must make sense for most of us, not some anal or strait-jacket rules. For example, prohibiting burst shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 8, 2010 Share #18 Â Posted September 8, 2010 Phancj, Â For your information I made an offer over a month ago to one of your fellow X1 users to support such an initiative. I have made the same offer to Jan, in a PM. There is no reason why this cannot be run along the same successful lines as the Barnack Challenge, which is now up to round #14. Â However, you, my friend, are leading me to second thoughts. Â You seem incapable of doing anything other than what pleases you right here, right now and of being as abrasive, obnoxious and insulting as you can along the way. Â If this is "Generation X1" I want no part of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanCderidder Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share #19 Â Posted September 8, 2010 Phanc, and others willing to take part in the contest.... Â I think some kind of formal setup would be good. Bill offered to talk to Andreas (I think he's the owner of the site) about creating such a contest in a formal manner. Â I will gladly see to the setup procedures, rules and stuff so one and the other can be communicated after which I will be more than happy to hand this over to someone else in order to get it going Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
