Thread: Do you think it needs a break?

Yeah that might be a good way of doing it lets see what Martyn comes up with as he has put his hand up to run them from now on....either way I'm happy to help out.

Bushie would you like me to forward you WhiteD3's Competition?

Maybe I'm a slow learner but after the last few comps I'm about ready to give them away.

The last few comps have had few participants, and it's even been difficult to get winners to put up new topics.

Nobody has commented that there is no topic from last weeks comp, so maybe as a collective we don't really care.

Anyway - I've lost the drive to carry on with them , if someone else picks up the ball I'll still participate when I can.

Martyn

Although I didn't enter many, I enjoyed all the comps and thank you for everything you did in regard to them Martyn.

Unfortunately things don't always run forever and sometimes we need to give them a rest for a while and sometimes we simply move onto something else.

Anyway thanks again Martyn for all your time and effort in keeping them going as long as they did - and thanks to everyone who played a part.

It is a shame, but entries are drying up, so why keep flogging the horse?

Maybe a break and see where the interest is? Would moving to monthly increase entries?

Either way, thanks to the moderators/organisers for the comps over the last few years. I enjoyed the fruits of your efforts, and it got me off my butt and taking pictures.

Cheers, Steve

i want them to keep going i think an additional rule too posting a photo in the comp should mean you have to vote maybe we should go back and dig up some old topics that lots of people entered too see if the interest is still there.i was abit disapointed in the lack of people entering and voting thoughbut with spring coming up i think there could be some good photos produced

I didn't know there were all these "rules" - I thought it was just an informal bit of fun looking at some nice shots.

Also, usually when entering any contest, the contestants shouldn't vote.

Thanks for your efforts, Bushie!

I know I haven't been much of a contributor this year compared to other years but with less free time lately, it's been an effort to get the camera out.

Thanks for your efforts Bushie.

I'm one of the guilty parties who've stopped participating. I had no camera for 3 months after a break-in at home then I was doing a skin cancer treatment that kept me indoors. Now work is so busy I've got no time for the new camera anyway!

Just a suggestion; CiC run a mini comp that is automated. Open theme and once 10 entries are posted the comp is closed and a poll opened for 3 days.

Membership is free if you need to register to look at the forum.

Might be worth a look? CiC run two parallel mini comps being colour and B&W. We could do "LR related" and "Open" perhaps? Just a suggestion.

Inc is into his photography now so might find the CiC format of interest.
