32 County Photo - Take II

markievicz

Do ye still need someone for Fermanagh? I'm over and back between there and Cavan everyday, I could take the picture for ye?

EDIT: I see ye have it covered, good luck with it!

GAAman

Bit of an update folks, have been in contact with bill and hopefully the camera will be en route to the next pic taker in the next day or two

FoxyVixen

The end is near yet still so far..........

The Guvnor

How many to go now - as a late arrival to the party it is so hard to keep track which should be read as possibly too lazy to go and check...:D

unclebill98

Cameras is gone to Monaghan.

Look at that table LOOK AT IT!!!!

artyeva

yer some man for one man.

seriously though, i'm ****ting it seeing the final product. can't for the life remember what i took a photo of though. it prolly seemed a good idea at the time but can't help this ''sunday-evenin'-glenroe's-on-and-i-haven't-done-me-homework-yet'' feeling that it's gonna be the crappest one on the whole roll

The Guvnor

How about if all the pictures are posted and we try and guess which one is from/of which county?

Bet it won't be easy!

sheesh

I am assuming that this is the same camera I took a photo with last year or so?

Yeap, first photo taken on 27 May 2010... 781 days ago.

unclebill98

Camera should be there today/tomorrow at the latest.

Catxscotch

Still nothing on this end!

unclebill98

I've got the registered receipt. Will follow up.

GAAman

Came back to bump this and see there is a slew of posts!

Must be near the end

The Guvnor

^ Fingers crossed!

GAAman

How are we getting on folks? Has the camera arrived with catx yet?

unclebill98

Package is still in depot. They may have tried tomdelivery and left the pick up notice.

Catxscotch

Hi Guys, I was away for work for a few days, package is at depot, I will be picking it up today, and doing my photography this weekend...nearly there now!!

Tallon

Thank Jesus

kerry4sam

What are the plans for then this is done lads? Will the photos be combined in a book or montage for sale or somewhere online for all to view

I'm looking forward to seeing this & would like to know how that would happen.

Thanks guys

I initially had plans (And still will) get the camera developed at my friends place. Then having them copied to cd, and uploading them to photobucket or the like. If anyone wanted physical copies I would send on cd's with the pictures on it (Would only ask that people send the cost of p+p with their address which I think is fair)

Then a thought struck me awhile ago, I am not sure how this would be greeted so maybe here is the perfect place for initial feedback. I thought of the Santa Strike Force that boards conducts (And in all honesty I went there now to get the link for those who might not be familair with it and my idea has already been done in sorts)

Here is the link for SSF, my idea is to possibly get a glossy book printed with the pictures in it. Sell it for a good price depending on costs etc and all profit going to the ssf.

Thoughts?

Great Idea but ultimately its a huge undertaking, just take a look at the boards photobook and the sheer amount of organising involved in that! Would be great if it could work but its a huge undertaking.

I understand to a certain degree, I used to be a printer (Not a lexmark before anyone says it ) as I said it is an idea and if enough interest is expressed and certain conditions are met it could be done.

Early days yet though!

It'd be a good idea to get the photos published and profits donated to charity, it all would depend on cost though, I see the SSF photobook retails for €46 which imo is very high.

If not for SSF then it could be done for another charity, as far as i am aware it's a unique idea, I haven't seen or heard of this being done before.

I will admit I have not looked at the photography book. I would hazard a guess that the reason the book is highly priced is so a decent amount is going to the fund.

I think the SSF should be the charity of choice for this and it is probably the same reason it is the one for the photobook, it is a boards charity and this is the 32 county pic project performed solely by boardsies

Good idea to divert any profits/proceeds to charity but can the photos be posted somewhere first before one decides to buy the photobook?

€5 from every book wen to the SSF
i dont know, maybe you'd know better yourself what it would cost to publish it

The Guvnor

Excellent idea on the SSF.

MY only concern is do we have enough photos - 32 - to warrant a book being published?

Perhaps these pictures could be added to another publication rather than as a standalone book?

xia

Actually Darren_G had the idea to publish them as part of the Boardsphotobook two years ago :eek::cool:

So I'd say it's time to pick up that idea again...that is if we have a team again organising the book again this year after the trouble last year....But I very much hope so.

And @GAAMan: Thanks for taking the development part into your hands as well! I like the possibility to then get the pictures on CD and people can then print what they wnat / like (no, I won't mention the co-word! In this case I'd say nobody will insist on it...)

As I said I will be hosting the images on photobucket or something similar and posting them here, I just hope if this book idea does go ahead that people will buy it even though they have been posted

Jesus Shaves wrote: »

I did not know that, as I said I have not looked at the photobook stuff at all. Is the book big? How many pages etc

As xia said above it could be folded into the next photobook if it happens, but I don't know about anyone else I think the idea behind this deserves its own little thing and it would be something nice to have as a picture taker. Perhaps book was not the right word to use. What I had in mind was a small book with the pictures and maybe a few lines of text either at the start of it or under each picture to say "Boardsie X took this photo of county Y at location Z" or something like that.

I don't know maybe I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one :cool:

Yeah that is exactly why I said about the cd part I think between that and hosting them online everyone is covered!

Lastly back to business, catx any update on the camera?

Catxscotch

Collected the camera yesterday, and will be taking photo over the weekend. Already have details of next person so will bang it in the post early next week

FoxyVixen

Oh it's getting exciting now

the_tractor

Maybe the photos could be included in the boards photobook, but as a collage, instead of a page per photo?

I don't think there would enough interest to warrant a dedicated photobook for this project - judging on how long it has taken to get this far :-)

HOw about a calendar?

A 32 month one would certainly be better value than the usual 12 month ones alright.

unclebill98

Better than those 13 month ones!

Catxscotch

Photo taken, I took a photo of Monaghan town from one of the hills surrounding it-hope it turns out ok!! Camera is all packaged and ready to be posted at lunchtime!

I had originally planned getting them developed and scanned to CD then creating a webpage showing all photos with a clickable map of Ireland bringing up each of the county photos.

I'm currently writing up a thesis and will be fairly flat out now until end of August so happy to let others look after the final production, whatever it is...

That's a good idea, and fairly easily done too. could just use a simple google Map. I've done loads of them before (like this one for the Donegal forum) so can offer to do that if everyone wants?

You could even make it editable by all, but TBH that might end badly. all it would take is one smartarse to wipe it all.

joeKel73

Well I was thinking something more along the lines of this. Clicking on county would bring up a litebox with the photo. Also a normal gallery way of viewing the photos.

The only problem is that map is £15 - unless people wouldn't mind chipping in?

Actually I could throw it together pretty quick some evening if there was interest....?

The camera arrived in the post this morning, but I can't see the end of the garden with the fog at the moment.

Weather is suppose to improve over the next few days so I'll take a photo then and post back then.

The entire success of this project depends on you now - 2 years of work, all depend on you.

No pressure now.
