  • April 2022 Photographic Challenge: April Showers: Voting Now

    To enter, simply post your picture in this thread between now and 30th April. After which there will be a two week voting period during which all members (not just those who have entered the competition) will be encouraged to vote for their favourites by using the ''Poll" system. 1st, 2nd & 3rd places will be allocated and these will ultimately count towards the title of E-System User Photographer of the Year. However, do bear in mind that each monthly round is a separate competition in its own right and you can enter as many or as few rounds as you wish.

    Voting begins on May 1st 2022. 3 votes each, using the "Poll" system.

    We'll try to keep the rules simple, but we must have a few:-

    1) Enter one picture only. You are able to change or delete your entry during the month. There is no time limit on the submitted photo. The Title is a description, and your interpretation is your decision.

    2) All entries must have been taken on an Olympus E-System body (Four Thirds or Micro Four Thirds), a non-Olympus body but using an Olympus Zuiko E-System lens or an Olympus digital compact such as the XZ-1 or the Tough Cameras.

    3) Three votes per member, please. You do not need to have entered the competition in order to vote.

    4) Don't vote for your own entry please.

    5) Once you have voted, that's it. You can't change your mind!

    6) Because we are using the "Poll" system, you can "Like" away to your hearts content.

    Using the "Poll" system is a trial. If all goes well, it will become the way forward. šŸ˜‰

    Don't forget, the subject is open to your interpretation.

    Not a rule but you are asked to try and keep to a size of photo that is easy to view. The "preferred" size is as near to the full width/height of the screen as you can achieve. Larger than that and it becomes difficult to see the submission in the whole. This is for landscape orientation. For portrait orientation, I think its best to keep to the depth of the screen, again for easy viewing. As said this not a rule, just do the best you can. There will be a thread about photo sizes, and no doubt there will be good advice on how to achieve this....

    I think I have covered everything but please do let me know if I have missed anything.

    Voting now open at https://www.e-group.uk.net/forum/for...ote#post876491

    3 votes each, don't vote for your own, otherwise the lurgy will get you, and if you did not submit a photo, you can still vote..Voting ends on May 14th...:-)

              Only 8 submissions so far, all because this April has been very dry. I think Scotland has had it's share, but here in Wales it has been very dry.

              So the subject can be opened up, your interpretation often makes the Challenge interesting, I suggest anything watery would be good.....................four days to go....................:-)

                Duncan, due to an administrative cock-up (my fault) I managed to delete ya coo. I did PM you about it immediately after the error, and asked you to resubmit it. Apologies from me, hope you get it resubmitted, as it was a particularly good photo....

                "On yonder hill
                There stands a coo.
                If its no' there noo,
                Its shiftit."
