(30/06/2009 - 09:10 AM) Barbara  -  Just a reminder that POM image submission for June closes this evening. Come on!
(06/06/2009 - 04:33 PM) Barbara  -  POM voting closes 9pm on Tuesday 9th June. Dont forget to vote if you haven't already and make comments if you want to.
(03/06/2009 - 07:23 PM) kitkat  -  Thanks for that Meg - yes the break was good although hard work! Been looking at the Gallery - some of these people have been getting some serious practice in - is it me or is the standard getting even better of late?
(03/06/2009 - 06:33 PM) MegR  -  Never mind Vintage Steam Rally- I've been waiting 2 weeks for your next blog instalment!!!!! Thank goodness your back!! ( Hope you enjoyed your hol.)
(03/06/2009 - 05:15 PM) kitkat  -  For anyone interested there is a Vintage Steam rally at Heskin Hall this weekend. It's usually well attended so may be an opportunity for some colourful shots. Heskin Hall is near Camelot/Charnock Richard/Eccleston
(03/06/2009 - 05:14 PM) kitkat  -  Anyone having problems with Internet Explorer on the site?
(02/06/2009 - 11:23 PM) Tom McQ  -  BIG THANX to Ken for helping me out tonight with macro shoot!
(31/05/2009 - 09:00 PM) Barbara  -  I would like to go to bed, so if anyone wants to enter POM for May, the theme is TREES please enter now!!!!!
(10/05/2009 - 11:07 PM) whamo  -  cancel that, so should I apparently
(10/05/2009 - 11:06 PM) whamo  -  you should be in bed Meg
(10/05/2009 - 02:32 PM) MegR  -  Happy Birthday DEOS smile.gif
(09/05/2009 - 09:05 AM) Barbara  -  Just a reminder for anyone who has put an image into POM that voting closes 9pm this evening. It would be nice to see a rating from everyone this month.
(08/05/2009 - 07:59 PM) MegR  -  Happy Birthday William Holt- hope you have had a good one smile.gif
(06/05/2009 - 08:33 PM) kitkat  -  Good point, already touched on by Barbara. I tend to leave voting until near the end so that I can judge my vote against other shots - sort of like a standard. When I vote I include all of the shots which I believe is the fair way
(06/05/2009 - 08:30 PM) myra barr  -  Sorry about the above its my first time on shout ,couldn`t get the hang of it. I wanted to ask why people are not voting on every image on POW and POM, just looked now and some have not been rated, some have 1 rate, and some have 2 rates, Come on everyone it`s not that difficult is it to vote on all the images.
(06/05/2009 - 08:29 PM) kitkat  -  Please do Myra
(06/05/2009 - 08:21 PM) myra barr  -  Can i say something about the voting on POW.
(06/05/2009 - 08:19 PM) myra barr  -  Hi everyone,
(06/05/2009 - 08:19 PM) myra barr  -  Hi Everyone,
(04/05/2009 - 10:50 AM) kitkat  -  And a good idea it was too John - I also agree with the point I think you are trying to make. The problem with anything which is purely voluntary, it will only get limited response - eg a friendly competition. Not everyone will be confident enough to enter, other's may enter every week, others not at all for any number of reasons. It really depends what motivates you and what you want from which after all is a hobby to most. I have actually stopped using another forum because it had, in my opinion, developed into a gear collector competition. Shot's put up for critique drew little or no constructive comment - so I lost the motivation to take part. Time is another issue, not everyone has it, or can make it for the same reason as above. I find it a shame that with a large member list only a few core members use this site - however, I understand that the same reasons above apply. The key, to me, is that I enjoy the site - like you if I don't have an image for the week I don't enter - but I like to see the work of those that do. The site will only give back what any of us give it.

New Posts Inspirational Images
A few have put up links to photographer and image 'styles' that have inspired them, were admired or were simply interesting. They are in various categories so I thought it might be good to have ONE PLACE for these. If you want to share your discoveries put them here and all can enjoy and COMMENT. Browse the listings to find past subjects.
