Bloody hell it is cold in here, how am I supposed to spy on you lot when it is this cold!!

07/01/2008 12:01:13 PM · #9

That's just the air conditioning. Outside it's around 30C.

07/01/2008 12:24:07 PM · #10

Cold? A concept I do not grasp.

HCD canucks!

Now what's our plan?

I have a few questions:

Do we have to participate in every challenge?

Which challenges do we take part in? Member only or open or both?

How is the scoring system going to work?

Are we going to submit 8 pics for one challenge and tally up the scores from there?

Anyone else have questions?

Based on how it worked last time, we need at least 5 of us to enter since the top 5 scores are tallied. Any less than five gets us a zero to fill the gap. Not good for the average.

It's usually the open challenges as some participants may not be members.

I don't know if you are looking for any other members...I am a new member...not very good...but better than a zero. I won't be offended...not sure of time commitment either or what this entails as I'm new...in case i forgot to mention that.... btw...Happy Canada day from the most southern point of Canada!

Prob something along the lines of like an old barn thats missing most of its paint, or an old car maybe that has been left in a field to rot. Weathered to me is something that the weather has taken a toll on.

if I think of more examples Ill post them...

07/02/2008 09:34:07 AM · #15

Oh so something that has been decomposed by weather?

I'm happy with the weathered challenge, there's no way I wanted to do another landscape challenge right away ;P (mind you, there will most likely be tons of landscape shots of barns and whatnot in the weathered challenge) ;P

07/02/2008 11:28:49 AM · #19

I have a couple of ideas for the weathered challenge too.
I didn't enter any in the urban or rural landscape but I may enter this one. Can I?

Going out to shoot my weathered shot now actually.

07/03/2008 04:43:44 PM · #20

I have no idea for weathered =S

It seems team canada has lost the wind it had in its sails.

Where is everybody?
How are we going to communicate? Show our images?
Who's our captain? Do we need one?
Team jerseys. I stopped working on them for lack of motivation. Nobody has replied to my query about what numbers they want.
No input means no interest, to me anyways.

Who still wants to be a team member? Speak up plz b/c I do not want to waste my time on this only to see us disqualified for lack of entries. I mean how many of you are preparing an entry? This is a team, not an individual competition.

Nobody except cujee and bujanx have replied to this thread in over a week?

Do we disband now and stop wasting our time and effort?

Speak up!

I'm worried about this, because I'm having trouble finding a good entry for weathered, and we really need to pick up things you guys.

I'm here! Don't have a lot of time for reading threads and posting but I am definitely here. Busy debating which one to enter, have a decent shot for both and will work on them tonight. Leaning more to the landscape than weathered at this point.

Personally, I'd rather not share prior to challenges - that way I don't have to worry about NOT voting on team members' shots. But that's just me - if everyone prefers to share ahead of time, just let me know where and when! I wasn't in on the DPC-Olympics last time around so not quite sure how our team worked together.
