Slow progress on Calendar? - DPChallenge Forums

11/08/2004 12:11:15 PM · #1

Seems like the voting and commenting are unusually slow on the Calendar challenge. I've NEVER gone this long without a single comment on a high-scoring photo. I expected this for the OFS, but I received comments right away on that one in a 488-entry challenge. Calendar had a fairly low number of entries, but doesn't seem to be generating much interest. Anybody else seeing this?

yup ... except for the "high scoring" part :)

5.85 at the moment ... patiently awaiting my steep ascent into 6 :)

This is my first time submitting to a challenge, and I very anxious for comments. My score is pretty low, but I expected because I am still learning. I was wonder if it usually takes this long for comments.

38 votes, 50 views, 5.3947, and 0 comments. But I don't think this is unusual, the chalenge only started this morning.

Not usually. I can't even remember the last time I went to sleep without a comment. I still don't have one, but I'm sitting at 6.3.

Brad, can't you forget to take off your lens cap or accidentally set the ISO to 1600- just once? ;-P

ROFLMAO !

Wish I had ISO1600, or better yet, could use something over ISO80. (The E-10's noise is bad at 160, and absolutely horrible at 320)

Lens cap? Let me see if I still have one... LOL

Good- ISO320 will be fine. Please remember to switch your ISO back if we have a Grain challenge. Thank you for your cooperation. ;-)

Yay! I just received my first comment. I am simply astounded that it took so long.

Just got my first as well. Maybe the remaining voters will vote above a 4.

I'm destined for a life of sucking at taking photos. Oh well -- at least with all the comments I know what to work on. To be honest, I didn't like the shot much I shouldn't have submitted it in the first place, but was hoping for some comments. We shall see.

Holy cow, Eric! Your calendar shot is about two years ahead of mine. Congrats on another ribbon in progress!

whoops!

I didn't really enter :P

Bah! I'll bet you could still get at least a 5 without even entering.

Only one comment :-( How do I get more comments??

1. Have patience.
2. Take photos that PROVOKE comments (preferably good ones).
