Points of View Reschedule

Posted on by

Points of View 2018

New Date Sunday 4 November

Because the weather was so inhospitable we had to cancel our competition scheduled for Sunday last, 14 October.

I am seeking an indication of whether you are likely to attend the event if we reschedule for 4th or 11th November.  Preferred date is 4th November if only because the later we leave it the more uncertain the weather is likely to be.

Please let me know your preference by email or at next Tuesday’s club meeting.

Many thanks

Just go to Seasonal Points 2018 – 19 and select either the PDIs or Prints 16th October competition.  You will see your scores to the right of your images.

You can also compare results by viewing all scores in each competition.

To do this go to the Seasonal Points page.  Above the list of competitions you will see two buttons

  • the first states League PDIs/prints 2018-19, you can use the down arrow to choose between the two
  • click on the second ‘Show Series Results’ to reveal a list of all scores in the competition

Remember that all future competitions are open for you to enter your images at any time you like.

Photo Entry Help

Posted on by
Photo Entry (PE) is our new method for members to submit competition entries directly online.
 
It is a BIG time saver, both for Linda and for yourselves. The feed back has been very positive. Most members have been using it with no problem.
 
However one or two have had a problem so I would like to make you aware of some points to bear in mind.

New Season Competitions – Important Information

Posted on by

PhotoEntry

By now you should all have received an email containing your log in details and temporary password to enable you to access PhotoEntry.

For those of you who are not yet aware, this is the system we are now using to enter images into competitions.  It is going to make life much easier as you no longer need to email images to the competition secretary, just upload them to PhotoEntry.  Even better, you do not need to add black borders to your images.

To find out how to use PhotoEntry, on the club website go to the Competitions menu, Submitting Images and Prints.  Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will find links to an excellent video demonstration and a PDF document of instructions which make the process very easy to follow.

If you experience any difficulties or you don’t receive your login details (remember to check your spam box) then please contact Linda or Ian at compsec@bedfordcameraclub.co.uk.

Our first Seasonal Points competition is on 16th October so your images need to be in by Tuesday 9th October.  We look forward to seeing some super entries.

 

Starting Competitions

Posted on by

Tuesday night, at the first club night of the season, Linda included an excellent live demonstration of the new method to submit images to the club competitions.

More details can be found here

If you are new to the club and would like to know a little more about how the competitions are run, how to prepare an image, what a judge might be looking for in an image or have any other questions I will be at the club next week (October 9th) at 6.45pm.

We had one new member who is interested in this; if you would like to join us please let me know (email to ian@colink.co.uk)

Thanks

Ian
