Guest Posted February 7, 2015 Share #2  Posted February 7, 2015 ...  Erl asked me to translate his invitation to the next Barnack Challenge # 26 into German:  Erl bat mich, seine Einladung zum nächsten Barnack-Wettbewerb Nr. 26 ins Deutsche zu übersetzen:  Ein Willkommen an alle Schraubleica-Benutzer zum 26. Barnack-Wettbewerb. Ich habe mich für das Thema "Sichtbare Umweltverschmutzung" entschieden. Fühlt Euch frei, dieses Thema auf jede Art und Weise nach Eurer Ansicht zu interpretieren. Ich freue mich auf Eure vielen und unterschiedlichen Interpretationen und bitte erinnert jeden Schraubleica-Fotografen daran, dass der Wettbewerb jetzt eröffnet wurde.  Ich entschuldige mich für die späte Ankündigung des Wettbewerbs (ich hatte einige schwerwiegende Gründe), weshalb ich den Wettbewerb für sofort als eröffnet erkläre, so dass er sowohl dieses als auch das nächste Wochenende einschließt zum unmittelbaren Nutzen all derer, die täglich arbeiten und deren Zeit deshalb begrenzt ist.  Termine: Fotografieren: - ab sofort bis Montag, 16. Februar 2015 (10 Tage). Einstellen der Fotos: - ab Dienstag, 17. Februar 2015 bis Donnerstag, 26. Februar 2015. Abstimmung: - Freitag, 27. Februar 2015 bis Sonntag, 8. März 2015.  OK! Startet durch oder besser noch: Fotografiert. Viel Glück und viel Spaß beim Wettbewerb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted February 9, 2015 Share #3 Â Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks for running the Challenge, Erl, but the time scale is just too tight for me because I have to send my films away to be developed, which takes at least a week (and occasionally two), so regretfully I won't be able to join the Challenge.

Pete, if you get off your ....... and shoot straight away you may make it. Personally, I would be prepared to accept a 'late' entry from you, or anyone who genuinely needs more time. Seriously.  Let me know. That goes for anyone BTW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Erl, that's very kind but unfortunately work intervenes so getting off my sit-upon to take photos is not an option. But I'll see what I can do.  Pete.

250swb Posted February 10, 2015 Share #6 Â Posted February 10, 2015 I keep trying to enter the Challenge, but I've missed one weekend already, so now have to process and craft a photograph by next Monday, what happened to being able to schedule some time and thought by posting the announcement well in advance in Barnacks Bar or the film forum etc.?

erl Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share #7 Â Posted February 11, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I keep trying to enter the Challenge, but I've missed one weekend already, so now have to process and craft a photograph by next Monday, what happened to being able to schedule some time and thought by posting the announcement well in advance in Barnacks Bar or the film forum etc.? Â Steve Steve, I offer my apologizes for the haste at the last moment. I have had medical and financial distractions on my horizon and overlooked my responsibility to start the Challenge. A PM jog from another member indicating I was late prompted my reflex action. If you seriously can't craft and post a pic by Feb 26, 2015 please PM me and I will change (and announce) a suitable extension. Â In my view this should be an enjoyable and inclusive competition and I for one, while I have the means, will do my best to ensure all protagonists 'get a go'.

Stefan2010 Posted February 16, 2015 Share #8 Â Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks Erl for running the Challenge but time table is to tight and to late announced. I just saw the challenge by occasion. Formerly it was good habbit to post it in Leica Collectors and in the Customer Forum in the international and german part of the forum. Â On my behalf it is more important that anybody can participate then to match the exact period after the last run. Â Why not setting everything on a new start date, i.e. in beginning of March? Â Regards Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share #9 Â Posted February 16, 2015 Stefan I hear what you say, so now the problem is, some protagonists will be already well on the way to preparing their entry. How do I halt them in their tracks for a new start? Â My suggestion in the light of your comments is to simply extend the existing time frame by an extra week(?). How does that seem to you? Â Any other participants wish to comment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christoph_d Posted February 18, 2015 Share #14  Posted February 18, 2015 Erl,  First and foremost I hope your distractions have been resolved well!

erl Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share #15 Â Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Christoph, Regrettably my distraction have not resolved, one is worsening but I am coping. Thank you for asking. Note to all participants: In view of the confusion I have caused with the dates, at least for some of us, I have made an executive decision to modify final dates in favour of a moderate extension, as follows: Posting will open today for those who are up to date and will close on Tuesday 3, 2015. (12 days, ie. an extra two days) Â Voting will open on Wednesday 4, 2015 and close on Friday 13, 2015. (10days). Â Also note: I will set up and open the posting thread in the next hour or so, as soon as I am free to attend to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2015 Share #16  Posted February 19, 2015 ...  Translation into German:  Hinweis an alle Teilnehmer: Angesichts der Verwirrung, die ich zumindest für einige von uns mit den Daten verursachte, habe ich entschieden, die Fristen moderat wie folgt zu verlängern:  Fotoeinstellung: Ab heute für alle, die auf dem neuesten Stand sind und das gerne möchten bis zum Dienstag, 3. März 2015 (12 Tage, d.h. zwei zusätzliche Tage).  Abstimmung ab: Mittwoch, 4. März 2015 bis zum Freitag, 13. März 2015. (10 Tage).  Beachtet bitte auch Folgendes: Für die Fotoeinstellungen habe ich einen weiteren Faden "Barnack Challenge # 26 (Visual Pollution) - Post entries here" eröffnet unter: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/other/363877-barnack-challenge-26-visual-pollution-post.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
