Ed Wenn · « **on:** November 19, 2012, 10:44:08 AM »

As 2012 draws to a close all registered Filmwasters are cordially invited to participate in Collaboration Number 29.

--------------------------------------------
Theme: "I Give You My Best Shot"
--------------------------------------------

This one's simple, people. Send us the photo - taken in 2012 - of which you're proudest; the one where everything worked out just so (whether by design, or otherwise!). Remember to please include a sentence or two about why you chose this particular photo. There is no 'time served' rule with these collaborations so don't worry if you only registered with us a week ago. Conversely, if you registered 6 years ago, but haven't visited the site site for the last 5, that doesn't matter either. Join in. The work we receive is always diverse and high-quality and the more people that get involved, the better the resulting gallery will be.

Unless you're incredibly indecisive - or haven't taken a decent photo in 12 months - it's hard to see why you wouldn't want to get involved in this collaboration, so let's give 2012 a memorable photographic send off!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission Deadline: midnight Sunday, 30th December 2012

------------------------------------------------------------------

Basic requirements:

JPEG Requirements: One JPEG image. Not larger than 800 pixels in length or width. No more than 200kb.

PLEASE use ONLY your name in the image file (e.g. "Roddy Nal.jpg")

**ALSO INCLUDE**

1. A sentence or two about why you chose this particular photo.
2. The camera, process and/or type of film used.
3. Your website or blog address that you'd like listed.

EMAIL SUBMISSIONS to filmwasters [at] gmail.com (please write "Best Shot" in the subject field so we can find them easily in our overflowing mail box).

Regards,
The Filmwasters Team

Yep, that's kind of the point this time round.....and it works timing-wise regarding the end of the year too.

Indeed!
I haven't been able to produce anything since I've moved from London, the very little I could shoot is waiting to be precessed until I have my own space $:-\$

Thanks gents.....keep 'em coming.

Mine's sent. No idea if it's my "best" as that's probably best judged by others. I like it, though.

Is true, but the reason why we chose our own best photographs sometimes goes beyond estetic. In my case I probably had better ones to send but the feeling of the moment was more important.

moominsean · « **Reply #11 on:** November 22, 2012, 08:45:52 PM »

I thought it would take awhile to choose, but when I was browsing it was pretty obvious. Sent!

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2012, 01:26:56 PM »

Team, we've had a healthy number of entries already....thanks for those who got on the case quickly and to the rest of you; I think this will be a really special gallery. Try not to miss out.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2012, 05:36:48 PM »

Sent! I know me, I'll forget if I leave it any length of time!

Terry · « **Reply #14 on:** November 25, 2012, 02:19:16 AM »

Bit tricky to choose from my only half roll of film which worked... But I'll have another by the weekends so I'll hopefully be able to submit something

Yes....you have to. It's the law

Good luck with the shooting this weekend.

Emma · « **Reply #17 on:** November 26, 2012, 10:18:28 PM »

Took my camera out last weekend, but still having the film processed. It costs me £14 to have one roll of 120 done in Lewes

so I take them to Brighton... £3! Will have them done and submit something, although since it doesn't close I might just keep gooiinngg...

Francois · « **Reply #18 on:** November 26, 2012, 11:58:04 PM »

And home processed probably goes for way less than 3 quid...

I know the guys know some great places to get cheap chemicals in the UK.
Good old Ilford ID-11 or Kodak D-76 (they're the same thing), some white vinegar diluted 50-50, some rapid fixer (simply 'cause agitating forever is no fun), a bit of demineralized water just before drying to prevent water spots. A tank, a few clothpins, a measuring cup, old soda or juice bottles (with nice descriptive labels so nobody drinks what's in them) and you should be in business.

I just checked Harman Express (the Ilford store)
ID-11 Developer: 5.36£
Rapid fix: 7.50£

You could probably find cheaper elsewhere...

When you look at some old book, they're both the same recipe. But it is said that they are now slightly different... but who can really tell?

I'm amazed so many are sending their shots in already! I'm finding myself thinking that my best shot might be resting in one of those undeveloped rolls I have... I gotta develop them! haha

Andrej K · « **Reply #28 on:** December 07, 2012, 12:01:43 PM »

As I though, I consider my best (one of) my lastest. Still have to scan the print to be able to send it though.

Ezzie · « **Reply #29 on:** December 12, 2012, 09:35:02 PM »

I may indeed have a change of mind between now and the end of the year, but I went ahead and sent in mine already.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #30 on:** December 18, 2012, 12:39:33 AM »

Guys, we've had a TON of great submissions so far; thanks to all those who have sent something already. I'm looking forward to getting the rest in over the next couple of weeks. It's going to be an great gallery.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #31 on:** December 19, 2012, 12:05:23 PM »

after much pondering and developing, I've finally sent in my shot

I'll be looking forward to see everyones photos when this collab is up!!

Harvey · « **Reply #32 on:** December 19, 2012, 01:48:06 PM »

The last four rolls of the year (possibly!) await development. Hoping that one of these is worthy. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Miles · « **Reply #33 on:** December 19, 2012, 04:28:12 PM »

Alan · « **Reply #34 on:** December 19, 2012, 05:45:26 PM »

It's gone. Frame 23 of the last roll of the year. That's about 350 days of trying!

AJShepherd · « **Reply #40 on:** December 24, 2012, 11:52:42 AM »

Just sent one in, it was a toss-up between that or one other.

Francois · « **Reply #41 on:** December 24, 2012, 03:00:21 PM »

Actually, mine was probably the last roll before the flood!

I'll try to squeak one in, but don't wait up for me. I just realized I'm -9 GMT, so the clock's really ticking now.
