35mm sides all done on the same film (NPW provides it), and processed at the same place, kind of levels the playing field for the contest. Give em a year to figure it all out for digital.

How many of you are bringing an *ist D to GFM, or other DSLR for that matter. We may ask some of you for suggestions on how to set up a contest using digital photos.

Hi mate,
Yup. D60 and some lenses plus MX and some lenses.
How about shooting on a CF card (like you do) and then deleting everything that you don't want to enter, then handing over the CF card to a judge who downloads the contents to his laptop. The point is, the shot comes straight from the card with no chance of it going via a shooter's computer and being manipulated - colour corrected etc - just as a slide shooter's slides would be returned from the lab.
That would only be true if the image was in RAW format. Then we'd have to deal with the software to do RAW conversions and (more significantly) the time required to do it. AND we'd have to download all the images from all the CF (and memory stick and SD cards) to a central computer - this takes *much* longer than simply handing someone an envelope with three slides in it!
Perhaps a set number of images could be stipulated to be 'supplied to judge' on the card. You might shoot 376 pics, but you'd have to delete all but (say) 36
<BOGGLE> 36 images per participant??? Doug and I wouldn't get home until July!
Currently, participants are allowed THREE entries!
