The Untitled RAW Stills - submission deadline - Sunday July 25th

i don't understand what RAW means, I'm sorry to bring the thread down. all my pics are jpg

jpg's fine too!

ok well i won't be submitting anything top class or anything but would be cool to see what could be done with any of my snaps. i'll try to dig something out.

remember, submissions end this Sunday!

for the postprocessing period, I'm thinking about two weeks - how does that sound to everybody?

Sounds fine. If uploading RAW, what is the purpose of the jpg and can I make it small/low quality?

I also apologize in advance for lack of post-processing skills. I'll set an evening aside and read up.

no purpose - not everybody on the forum shoots RAW, so I wanted to give non-RAW shooters a chance to participate as well

I just remembered - I think I asked for a JPG because I don't think everybody here is using a program capable of handling RAW files? Is there anybody who will be postprocessing with something other than Lightroom/Aperture/Photoshop?

I'd also be open to extending the submission deadline, if people need more time!

Couldn't seem to choose from old photos so just picked one fairly randomly from a handful of snaps I took today in the local park. CR2/DNG/JPEG - on its way to that gmail address now.

Away for a few days now but interested to see what we have next week...

oh shit i need to get on this huh

so I count 6 submissions so far: myself, sciolism, MJ, lukas, milo, and treefell

gbx, you still in? perhaps we should extend the deadline another week to accomodate anybody else?

yah i forgot, will pop something up tonight.

How about doing it as a rolling thing? Go with what we've got, and another round next week?

how bout posting pics to thread? is there a reason that won't work?

too lol hueg, spare a thought for the poor server.

don't turn this into a tipping thread

oops i will also get something up tonight

rolling is a good idea tho.

yeah that's true - this one seems like kind of a massive undertaking, tbh.

anyway reminder, the e-mail is:

 ilpilx at gmail dawt com

boring pic sent

wait what format am i sending?

send the RAW or JPG or both

Would Google Buzz be a good way to share these files?

I have never used google buzz before! dunno. anyway looks like some people are still submitting so why not extend the deadline to this Sunday.

oh crap i guess i need to upload something

u shut up

lol ; )

cool dog video btw

uh, we still doing this, guys?

i'd be very interested in getting involved with this, just started shooting RAW...
please to advise...

yeah - I'm trying to figure out how to divvy up the postprocessing. thinking about randomly assigning everybody 3 photos to postprocess - that way, there won't be *that* much work. on the other hand, we have 9 entries right now (11 if we include not_goodwin and gbx, whenever he gets around to sending one in!) - so maybe the load won't be *that* great. thoughts?

I'll e-mail everybody who's sent one in the password tonight

(sorry, we probably should have chosen a more organized person to do this! heh heh)

not_goodwin - just send a photo you'd like to see postprocessed by others to ilp✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ (pref. RAW)

I'm happy to have a bash at 8 (or 10) images by others. It's usually quick and dirty Lightroom work with me anyway.

oh wait i can't postprocess anything i just submitted a couple crappy pics.

8-10 isn't too many for me, either, and I think it would be interesting to see everyone's interpretations of all the images.

Perhaps one post on here with all the base JPGs, then each of us could post up our versions on Flickr/PBucket/etc. (with proper attributions, etc. - and maybe we could all take them down off Flickr in a couple of weeks?).

Is there an ILXor Flickr group? That might streamline the posting process.

no, but I could make one...

will download all the files tonight, compile them into a zip and upload to mediafire, and e-mail everybody the link.

I looked into giving everybody the password to either a dropbox or gmail account but it looks like it's against the ToS and the account could get shutdown if they detect too many logins at once. \(O_o)/

Sounds good. ILX Flickr pool also a good idea. Shall we all stick to sRGB, considering the difficulties most browsers have with colour management? Or maybe we don't need to worry about subtleties like that.

There is an ilxor group on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/ilxor/
I kind of think this should still have it's own group, or maybe ILPhotography should have it's own group.

hey guys sorry i've been out of town at a wedding (where i got some good shots, i think)

still don't know how to send raw?

did you shoot them as RAW? if not you can juts send the JPG

I downloaded, zipped, and uploaded the files to mediafire, check your inboxes everybody

I'm done! That was a fun way to spend an hour. I've realised that I can't see a sky without graduating the flip out of it. Let me know where to put my processed JPEGs. Milo Z's was the real challenge, I think (I suspect deliberately so) - not sure I rose to it. I didn't process my own photo - was I supposed to?

Have just had a look, will have a go with them tomorrow.

I can't see a sky without graduating the flip out of it
Ha, even when i'm out shooting, i think about it, "oh i'll grad it later"

I didn't process my own photo - was I supposed to?
i wouldn't have thought so, but i'm not in charge so...?

Yeah, that's a photo of my grandfather in the worst possible lighting. Nothing I've done with it has made me happy.

it's not really a competition is it! let me see if I can create an ILX ILP flickr group, and if we can organize group submissions by sets

should we upload them as we finish, or set a deadline for a grand unveiling?

I vote upload as finished - that way no one feels hurried for the grand unveiling.

I, too, am done. I feel like this showed me some of my weaknesses as a post-processor - I'm fairly competent with curves, the histogram and how to work with the color sliders for B&W and a few technical bits, but when it comes to things like graduating skies without looking terrible I'm pretty weak. Lightroom has gotten so complicated and feature-packed, I should probably read a book or take an online course or something.

I've created a flickr group but apparently you can't divide group pool submissions by sets

oh wait - I think I can start topics/threads for each person and everybody can post that person's picture to that thread

http://www.flickr.com/groups/ilpilx/

yo gbx you should submit your pix whenever

got to be honest man,

without a polling/voting option here ur thread is looking v shabby next to the competition.

step it up

yr friend

darragh

Sorry guys know mine is corny, have never been satisfied with my results with it

that would be totes awes.

would be dope, agreed

got mine done tonight, rushed a few but oh well..

definitely agree milo's was the hardest, am happy with the crop I made but still don't have a clue about how to get a good foreground/background dynamic going...

really liked what you did with mine, ledge! it's really got that warm afternoon glow

i also regret missing this thread.

Finished, then net died (on phone now.)

I can't think of anything I want to do to Michael's. It's lovely.

Also, am now much more comfortable with the Tone Curve tool. Thanks for putting this together dyao.

Doing them now. What do I do once I finished?

There's a Flickr pool for them: http://www.flickr.com/groups/ilpilx/

Also, if you feel like it, post a small version in the discussion thread attached to that pool and tell us what you did.

I've started taking a second bite at the cherry with the images, now that I have more time to look at each individual image.
I just uploaded my second attempt at milo's image. It turned out a bit more extreme than I intended, really.

really educational seeing what everyone else has done

just uploading mine to flickr, but probably wont have time until after the weekend to write about what I did....

kudos on sheep, i like

hey maybe it's time for a POLL

competition in art is a negative influence towards normalisation of creative urges imo

is it time for another?

if i can fix my problem with uploading any images to any site ever, then sure.

Having problems ledge?
i've just noticed i have a comment on one of the pics from our little project.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/not_goodwin/4856047245/
has anyone else had any comments?

ps i take full credit!

Just giving the thread a bump to see if it's time for another go.

don't really feel that my standard tourist digital camera pics are worth submission, but did enjoy the results of ppl playing around before tbh.

Happy to have a bash again. Same deal as last time? Send originals to gmail address, mediafire link to download everyone's submissions, upload processed versions to Flickr pool?

Sounds good to me, I've a few I can't make my mind up with, so you lot can have a go with 'em.

haha I gotta see if I remember the password to the account

v1k1ng

hello?

haha I think I seriously lost the password to that account. gotta think...

lololol my security question is "who is ned raggett?"

so do we want to do this? set a deadline?

yes, 1 week?
