Despite the crap weather during the few days I used for taking my shots, I really enjoyed the challenge too. Not having the flexibility of zooms, variable ISO or true WYSIWYG viewfinder, let alone the noise freeness of my D700 was a genuine challenge. I'm looking forward to next June, even though I may not be eligible for any prizes (well, I'll be a judge, if not the only one!), I'll be participating just for the fun of it!
For anyone interested, I'm leaning more and more towards the Poll option for judging, possibly with myself and a couple of others narrowing down what may hopefully be a reasonably large entry to a manageable number for a poll. Once they're in a poll, I might delete the posts from the original entry thread so the photos get judged on merit rather than it being a popularity contest! Still in the thinking about it stage though, so may well change my mind (rather than just having it decoked!) in the meantime.
Looking forward to June for 2 reasons - #1, HOLIDAY TIME (this year's was an almost total washout due to my illness) and #2, seeing what we can come up with given 1/2 decent light and 1/2 indecent skirt lengths!!!!!!
While I'm at it and vaguely talking about illness, I've spoken to a human at the DVLA who has confirmed that since I voluntarily surrendered my driving license rather than having it revoked and confiscated, I can apply for it back 2 months before the usual 6 month "ban", so 12th night it is! Anyone in the Exeter area know of a good driving instructor to give me a lesson or 2 so I can check my competency before I get behind the wheel in anger?
