I have been overwhelmed by the response from all the judges. So far, 59 people have scored the submissions for the book, which is fantastic.

 

I will close the sheet down tomorrow, so if anyone has yet to submit, please do so in the next 24 hours.

 

Many thanks!

[andybarton]

Thanks again to everyone. Looks like 61 judges have sent in their scores. Fantastic response!

 

Over the next few days (maybe next weekend) I will send out the emails calling for the high res versions of the shots to go into the book.

 

There is likely to be just over 100, as the 100th shot falls into a score with several others, so all of them with that score will be included.

Andy, thanks again for all the effort you’ve put into this.

[andybarton]

Some stats...

 

105 photographs will be going into the book, representing the work of 60 different photographers

There were 61 judges for the 249 photographs

 

Now, onto the next stage...

Andy, thank you sincerely for all of your vision, diligence and hard work. This project (regardless of what fate befalls my entries!) has been an absolute pleasure to have been a part of.

[andybarton]

Thanks Phil.

 

I honestly can’t say how successful you have been, but I’ll send out the emails as necessary over the weekend.

 

I will email anyone who is unsuccessful too, of course.

Another update

 

Everyone should now have received their emails with the news about the photos in the book.

 

I am sorry that some people didn't get their shots in this year, but the standard was extremely high. Roughly 3/4 of those who submitted have at least one shot in the book and I have to say that a lot of the ones I personally voted for, didn't make iit!

 

I have set a deadline of 22nd April for the return of the high res versions to allow me to try to get the book together during May. Full resolution, best jpg setting, please.

 

Many thanks.

[stunsworth]

Andy, yet again thanks for all the work you've put into this.

Thanks and well done for completing  the compilation. No easy task.

Hi Andy, I’m assuming you want the full size photographs as JPEGs.

[andybarton]

Yes please

[Beena22]

Fantastic job sorting all of this Andy. I’m really looking forward to buying a copy of the book and I’m overjoyed to be included in it.

Thanks for those people who have already sent through their final shots. Just to re-confirm,

 

I NEED THESE AS LARGE AS YOU HAVE THEM, PLEASE.

Full resolution as per the original file, whether scanned or digital, no jpg compression.

 

 

640 or 1200 pixels on the long edge is not sufficient for the book quality I'm afraid. 

 

I need images of around 3000+ pixels on the longest edge.

 

 

Thanks

Is there an upper limit to the file size which the server can handle? I'm ending up with a 16.1 MB jpeg, a film scanner is an effective way to fill a hard disc (the TIFF is 200 MB)...

 

Stefan

[andybarton]

16MB will be fine.

 

Gmail seems to baulk at 25MB, but if we had a book with 100 x 25MB files, it would take a week to upload, even on this broadband!

[stray cat]

What jpeg quality is recommended, Andy (or others)? Photoshop goes up to 12, but would 8 or so be OK?

 

(edit) Oh, OK I just read what you said above - best jpeg setting. I guess it pays to pay attention!

Photobook software is typically adding another layer of post processing as well, giving it the highest possible quality as input should avoid artefacts.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[satijntje]

Andy, what about the top-20 images for the exhibition.

Have the photographers of these 20 pics been informed?
