Re: New Contest For April 2011 - Gary S - 04-01-2011 So would a daguerreotype count as film? Re: New Contest For April 2011 - ezdays - 04-01-2011 Gary S Wrote:So would a daguerreotype count as film?Remember, you have to have taken it yourself. But, we are putting together a board of judges that can rule in this point. In the meantime, follow Mikey and Andrew's lead and enter the real April contest. At least there, you're allowed to use a digital camera... Re: New Contest For April 2011 - Gary S - 04-01-2011 daguerreotypeoptery is one of my other hobbies........................ Re: New Contest For April 2011 - ezdays - 04-01-2011 Gary S Wrote:daguerreotypeoptery is one of my other hobbies........................Wow, that is most unusual, kind of makes me think of guys in uniforms with swords and muskets at their sides. I didn't know that anyone still did that sort of thing, that's great. One sure learns these thing in the most unexpected ways. Re: New Contest For April 2011 - Sumpter250 - 04-01-2011 FOOLS, everywhere I look, nothing but FOOLS !!!!........... Oh, :oops: :oops: :oops: It's April first....................it's "their" day.

Re: New Contest For April 2011 - MasonJar - 04-01-2011 OK, so Pete has thrown his hat in the ring... We're expecting big things from you Gary...!! Andrew Re: New Contest For April 2011 - ezdays - 04-01-2011 Gary S Wrote:Now if I could just find a 4111..........................I saw one just a bit ago but by the time I went home and got my 35MM camera, it had cleared the crossing and was out of sight. Man, could those guys pump fast. Re: New Contest For April 2011 - Gary S - 04-01-2011 I have been thinking about the other contest. As for this one, I am still awaiting the judge's ruling on whether daguerreotype will be counted as film. That $100 walther's coupon is quite enticing, so a person would be FooLisH not to enter this contest! Re: New Contest For April 2011 - ngauger - 04-01-2011 Well - I have some bad news.... The truth is My wife just found a "Freshly Dead" mouse in the living room.. No doubt, right where one of the cats got tired of "playing" with it. EWWWWWW!! And I have 1/4 of a chewed Gift Certificate sitting on my desk.... I don't think it's a coincidence.. a conspiracy? Maybe!! But I'm afraid I'll have to not wait for the "Judges" decision and close the contest.... right after i "flush" the body!! So - Please consider entering our "real" contest for April!!! (links above) P.S. She really found "the mouse" - and I was just sitting down to dinner too! |
