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

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

Good stuff. My efforts are in the group but I have to dash to work so can't contribute to the discussion threads until tonight...I doubt I can remember precisely what I did to each image without Lightroom reminding me.

i guess we should do our own thang before checking out how others have done it, huh.

lol 'Saving Private Ryan' sheep OTM- good job whoever that was :)

I'm done, few crops here and there and some messing with colours and B&W's too.

Argh, gutted I missed this.

it's not too late? e-mail your pic to ilpilx at gmail

Will send something tonight when I get home.

job done. full confession - a fair bit of preset usage, albeit with further tweaking (except for one where i hit the button and it looked too good to mess with any more).

Like what you've done with mine ledge.

aye well that would be the one i can't take the credit for, just a preset.

I've added my quick attempts to the group pool. I think I want to try again with some of these when I've got more time to sit with each image individually.

just found the discussions! and added my tuppence.

:) feel bad that I

i) submitted such lo-res amateur efforts
ii) don't actually edit pics

but thanks for work on mine everyone

But the beach shot in particular was ideal! I've even had people favouriting it in my photostream! Had to explain that I didn't take it...

mine are up, added them to the discussions as well. Really delighted by the variety of processing techniques.

I've even had people favouriting it in my photostream! Had to explain that I didn't take it...

This is why i set up another account, didn't want to confuse people and myself.

Also, if someone said "this is the best shot you've ever taken, miles better than your usual stuff" i don't know what i'd do :(

Ha! I actually manually hacked the upload dates/times on my previous batch of photos so they'd move back to the top of the photostream, but the damage was done and I was getting plenty of love meant for darraghmac, sciolism and dyao!

:) mayne as long as my work is, y'know out there, mayne, y'know?

new a/c seems the way forward. impressive PS work, sciolism! definitely enjoyed this, would be up for it again.

Enjoyed it as well, has given me a kick up the bum to get my head around PS, i'm alright with LR, but PS is another level to me.

thanks, ledge. don't know what a proper retoucher would make of it, but it was fun.

and thank you dyao. this was a great idea and you did a fantastic job organizing it. A+ would do again. hope this can become a rolling thing.

yea kudos to dyao

Yeah, thanks to dyao for doing this.
My attempts last night were done as a batch in Lightroom - i.e., I came up with a preset of my own and applied to all the images. Which is how I tend to use Lightroom!
I spent a little while with a couple of images in Photoshop today, dealing with them individually, but they need a bit more time if I were going to put them up.

going to be a few days until i can get to this. not letting myself see the finals until then.

Who's not had a go at processing yet?

same boat as lukas; hope to be done by the weekend!

Cheers for putting this together dyao, hope it continues?

aw thanks for the kind words everyone but really it was all your participation that made it and tbrr all I did was set up a google account.

yeah this should definitely be rolling - need to set up a public shared space though, maybe a mediafire folder?

yes, 1 week?
