All registered Filmwasters are cordially invited to participate in Collaboration Number 38.

---------------------------------------------------
Theme: "Give Us Your Best Shot - 2015"
---------------------------------------------------

We've run this for last few years now and it's gone down really well, so we thought we'd keep the tradition alive.

Send us the photo - taken in 2015 - of which you're proudest; the one where everything worked out just right (whether by design, or otherwise!), the one that makes you smile. Remember to please include a sentence or two about why you chose this particular photo.

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 remember 2015 with a fantastic gallery of photos!

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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Deadline: Sunday, 31st January 2016
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basic requirements:

JPEG Requirements: One JPEG image. Not larger than 800 pixels in length or width.

PLEASE use ONLY your name in the image file (e.g. "Simone Northfolk.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 2015" in the subject field so we can find them easily in our overflowing mail box).

Regards,
The Filmwasters Team

Obviously, we don't have a guest gallery section at present, but I'll get that addressed in time for the end of the month.....almost certainly

I plan on traveling back in time next week. I'll see if I have something new (old)

Francois · « **Reply #6 on:** January 14, 2016, 09:21:43 PM »

Does that mean that you found a way to get the gallery software updated?

Kai-san · « **Reply #7 on:** January 15, 2016, 07:58:03 PM »

Ed, I noticed that under **ALSO INCLUDE** the topics are numbered 1,2 and 4. Have we missed out on something?

jharr · « **Reply #8 on:** January 15, 2016, 08:13:39 PM »

#3 of the "include" list should not be included.

Francois · « **Reply #9 on:** January 15, 2016, 09:19:38 PM »

Well... Paul Cook did manage to get that counting thing down

(for those not in the know, he was drummer for the Sex Pistols and the singer John Lydon would joke that he was very good at counting up to four)

imagesfrugales · « **Reply #10 on:** January 15, 2016, 09:29:32 PM »

Sent. Thanks a lot to all who make this possible.

Mine is sent and I`m looking forward to seeing what the filmwasters has produced the last year. Many thanks to the organisers!!

You're obviously a 'details' person

Nope, I just got that bit wrong....now corrected; thanks.

Also corrected.....but you'd already worked it out anyway

Bryan · « **Reply #15 on:** January 18, 2016, 04:41:26 PM »

I just emailed my best shot. It was a tough decision between a color photo and a black and white photo. I send all my color film to a lab for developing and scanning but with black and white I do it all myself. Since I was more involved in the entire process with the black and white photo that was the tie breaker. I can't wait to see the rest of the submissions.

kentish cob · « **Reply #16 on:** January 18, 2016, 06:06:16 PM »

Shot selected, and will e-mail later tonight once I've written some words to accompany.

Great to get involved in this again. It's a buzz seeing your own photo displayed alongside those of such talented folk.

irv_b · « **Reply #17 on:** January 18, 2016, 06:53:01 PM »

Chosen and sent, easy to choose this year as I didn't produce that many outstanding shots

We should start a 12-step program.

I spent way too much time testing cameras instead of taking pictures. As a result, I have a belated resolution for the new year. If you see me in the "I just picked up" thread, you should ban me from the board for a year!

Damn, only 2 days left

I fall into the category of "incredibly indecisive" ... none of my 2015 pics scream out to me "BEST OF 2015!!" $:-\$ Maybe I'll just choose one at random

ManuelL · « **Reply #36 on:** February 01, 2016, 06:45:20 PM »

Ah, missed the time line. Only myself to blame. Still, looking forward to seeing everyones great shots.

Indofunk · « **Reply #37 on:** February 01, 2016, 06:49:42 PM »

Yeah, me too. I'm more interested in seeing other people's shots anyways

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #38 on:** February 01, 2016, 07:11:05 PM »

Righty ho, people. We're back online again and I'll get to work setting up the gallery. We weren't able to get access to the site at all over the last few days as it was taken down for some migration activities by our Web Host, Bluehost. As a result it's going to take a while to get this set up, but bear with me...and feel free to send in your submission in the meantime if you missed the original date.

HAHA! Satish and Manuel, the teacher just extended the deadline for the project! NO EXCUSES NOW!!!

ManuelL · « **Reply #40 on:** February 02, 2016, 07:01:55 AM »

Finally sent mine - thanks for keeping the submissions open Ed!

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #41 on:** February 02, 2016, 01:12:18 PM »

...well, I'm glad the delays cased by the server migration/upgrade have at least had some positive effect.

Late Developer · « **Reply #42 on:** February 10, 2016, 12:45:59 PM »

Hi Ed.

Just a gentle "nudge"......

Any idea when the collaborations gallery might be up and running and we can see the fruits of the "best of 2015"?

Cheers, Paul.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #43 on:** February 11, 2016, 09:47:48 PM »

Quick update (not related to being nudged). I installed the new Gallery software on the site on Tuesday and am hopefully going to spend tomorrow configuring it and getting the images uploaded and put into a gallery*. I had also hoped to be able to import the content from the previous collaborations, but I may not get round to that tomorrow.

* The name of the software is actually "Gallery" which makes it slightly confusing to discuss.

Francois · « **Reply #44 on:** February 11, 2016, 10:17:48 PM »

As long as you don't need a shovel to clean things out, it should be OK

Indofunk · « **Reply #45 on:** February 12, 2016, 04:17:28 PM »

Migrations can either be surprisingly easy or extremely painful; unfortunately most fall into the latter category.

I hope this is an exception! If you need any database help, let me know and I'd be glad to roll up my sleeves and dig in!
