FSU contest 2008 - anyone interested?

[nzeeman]

i just realised that whole year have passed since last FSU contest. so it is time to make another.
thhis time i have some changes to propose
last year we had three groups of photos
1- fsu lens and fsu body
2- fsu lens on any body
3- fsu body with any lens

in 2 and 3 there were only a few photos so this year it would be only fsu lens and fsu body

next proposal is to vote with rating for photos - there is a button under every photo. every contestant should vote on at least 10-15 photos, also people who are not contestants are welcome to vote. 10 photos with highest rating with at least 5 votes will go to a poll where members will decide who is a winner.

tell me if you like these changes.

Sure, I'm in! It will give me a chance to work out my Zorki C finally.

[brachal]

The changes are fine with me. I will gladly participate.

[malkmata]

Where do we post our pictures?

[rxmd]

Hi Srđan,

count me in.

Maybe you could post the procedure again how the whole thing is organised? For the newcomers (such as me) this would be helpful.

I didn't participate last year, but would love to this year. I agree that it would help to have the rules posted again. Thanks

[pesphoto]

Do we each enter just one photo?

[wde60]

[Michael I.]

sure thing.

[bcostin]

Cool, sounds like fun. As another newbie to this contest I would also like to see the rules reposted. Thanks!

[Florian1234]

I'd rather do it with a category 2 (FSU lens + any body), but I also would go for a FSU stuff only one. ^^

[nzeeman]

i will inform everybody about rules and place to uppload photos as soon as owner open one gallery for that. i sent him PM so i hope he will answer in next few days. i think to start contest may 1st and to last until may 31st . so you can start to shoot and get ready for contest.
i think rules will be only:
3 photos per user.
fsu body+fsu lens
b&w and color photos allowed

Anything for the winner? Not necessary, just wondering. Maybe whoever wins get to have a print from each of the entrants sent to him/her.

[Diomedes]

I'm in... with my new Kiev 4a :angel:

[andrealed]

I'm....but it's time for me to search ebay...I'm without any FSU camera by now...:D

[Blake Werts]

... new to the group, new to rangefinders, and new to FSUs as well. Either way, I'd love to give it a try. It'll give me more incentive to use the gear!

[gb hill]

I'm in! I need to dig out the Fed 2 and shoot a roll anyway.

[holgaguy]

Me and my Fed 2 and Jupiter 8 are in.

P.S.
That is as soon as I get my Canon 135 unstuck from the Fed

[nzeeman]

i see that this year we have many new fsu users that will join this contest - im very happy to see that. it seems that we will have a lot of contestants.

[Roberto]

Count me in please

[Keith]

Oh yes ... count me in!

I have some Adox CHS 120 for my Iskra and a bottle of Rodinal arrived today! :p

[manfromh]

I'm in aswell, most likely. Its a good reason to actualy use one of my Russian cameras again.

[SCOTFORTHLAD]

Count me in also.I didn't make an effort last year,but by coincidence I have just put film into a Zorki 4 and a Fed 3a,so will have no excuse.:)

[nzeeman]

still waiting for owners message... maybe someone else should ask him too...

[rxmd]

Hi Srđan,

still waiting for owners message... maybe someone else should ask him too...
I think he was on holiday, maybe wait another day or two and then ask him again if he hasn't replied by then.

It's Sokol shooting time!

[tritiated]

The very same! It does have the heft of a washing machine..haha!
Some shots from York last year:

[dazedgonebye]

Zorki 6 loaded with efke 50. J8 mounted and J9 in the bag.
Now...what to point it at?

[timmyd18]

do the shots have to be taken during the contest, or they just need to be uploaded during this time?

thanks for organizing this!

[JLANTZ]

Add me to the list, maybe it will motivate me to pack one of my rangefinders instead of automatically grabbing one of my digitals....................

[nzeeman]

it would be nice that photos are taken after i announced that we will have contest but you can also upload everything you shot with fsu (i understand there are many young people who use fsu cameras and i dont want to force them to spend money on new film, developing etc just to join the contest). rules are not stickt in this contest - it is only about using fsu gear.

[robbiechad]

Hi, You can count me in as well, would like to see rules as well.

[SirAlien]

Groovy! Bring on the pictures. Zorki 4 crying for use and Kiev 4 being considered.

[holgaguy]

When do we start?

[pesphoto]

Yeah, my Zorki C is getting rusty..........

[petronius]

I´d like to participate too. What about FSU zone focus cameras like Zarya or LC-A?

[nzeeman]

we will start as soon as owner open a gallery. still no word from him. ill pm him again in few days - i dont want to bore him...

[dvdsince98]

I'd like to enter.

It's very inspiring to see the creative work of others so having an event like this is good as it gets lots of people out shooting or at least pouring through their negs looking for new work to process!

[Bluesman]

I´m in too.
