Great minds and all that, me too, I wonder how many big and little camera shots will be entered this month

@TheBigYin Now that FPOTY 2018 has finished, can you please unsticky the related threads?

I've just taken my back-up shot, since I'm guessing it looks better through the viewfinder than it might on film. Plan A is weather dependent, so fingers crossed that I'll get a suitable day in the next week or so.We sent a load of films to FilmDev last Wed. The invoice has just arrived so the download should be imminent. Looks like I'll know soon whether I have to take my model of Big Ben down to London at the weekend....
It's the short daylight hours and grey days that are a problem for outdoor shots at this time of year, but I'm sure you'll come up with an idea in time Carl.Well, it's not gone well so far as don't even have a suitable image in mind for January and we're almost at the end!
Must. Do. Better.
What do you want from your photography @ChrisR ?
Do that every yearThis year, it's for me
This. Being judged is very different to being critiqued. Sticking my neck out I'll say I didn't vote for anything that was a river, waterfall or pond in the "Wet" entry because that didn't meet the "theme" in my eyes. So whilst there were some print-on-the-wall images in the list, I didn't vote for them. Just saying this could cause someone to disagree, after all, a lake is wet isn't it? But that's the nature of the judge - no discussion. Having so many judges is (in my opinion) both a blessing and a curse - literally anything could happen with the voting, and often will. Personally, I prefer it to - say - asking a mod to judge it. I like that it's anonymised, and I like that there is no prize. It's just a bit of fun that *should* be a relaxed incentive to get me out with my camera (and for me, it is).a competition is not the place for feedback
Also this. Feel free to tag me if you do. I love critiquing when askedOne idea may be to start your own thread (here perhaps- https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/photos-from-film.106/) post photos in there and shamelessly ask for feedback in threads like this.
This is the internet. It would just end badly
I think that's the right way to approach it Chris. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been seeking a "little & large" shot this month if it wasn't for FPOTY, so it has broadened my horizons and made me think. It's also got me up and out of the house on at least 2 days when I probably might have hibernated instead, so it also has health-giving properties.However, I've decided not to withdraw completely! Instead, I'm going to try and use FPOTY 19 as a source of ideas for themes. I'm going to try to take at least one photo for each theme on my Chroma (failed, this month). I'm going to try to plan a photo that does something to improve my technique, composition, or whatever. And I plan to submit one of those photos regardless of whether I think you'll like it! I'll vote, but I'll try not to take any notice of my place in the results. This year, it's for me, not for you (sorry, folks!).
You can "Watch" a forum like Photos From Film so if anyone posts in there you will get a notification - there is a button at the upper right.
I don't see how you can do that. All the forums (except a couple where you have to request access) are open for anyone to comment and respond to. The thread will appear on the front page for anyone to look at & respond to as soon as a new post is made on it. How can you stop anyone, including people who haven't entered the competition and possibly aren't film photographers, from commenting?Should there be a rule that only people who post their own photo can comment on others? Perhaps we’ll have it as all-comers initially see how it goes.
