I love that collage, Siuya.
Thought I'd better make the effort for a change - don't want one of Huw's "could try harder" emails

The Leica User forum has just done a similar, but one off, exercise and has linked pictures to a google map. It seems a nice idea - do you think it is worth considering for First View?

Steady, we're still trying to talk people into using the FirstView Gallery, never mind linking to maps (as good an idea as it seems). Besides, IMO, there are still some who think it's more about art, not life...

Yes, but to this digi minded group of forum members it will be a doddle. If the Leica lot can manage it surely you Canikons can, most of the Leica group are firmly wedded to 20 year old cameras using this 'film' stuff.

Yup. And even before you get to that, all we really ask of people is,

Please remember to include the basic details - time and place of shooting,
... and crazy though it might seem, many (most?) contributors still don't even do that! ;-)

I didn't realise it was about 'decent' shots!

Question... aren't there supposed to be 'one shot, no editing' ?

Hmmm. I think someone has been editing. Yes - I did check all the entries last night before I typed that comment! ;-)

Strictly it is one shot that is required, but the occasional image that is a composite can, I think, be acceptable if it is still within the spirit of the FirstView remit. As for editing - well, obviously some editing is necessary, or all the images would be over-sized. A bit of cropping, or sorting out levels seems harmless enough too - the real point is that (a) the shot shouldn't be telling us porkies - it should be genuine reportage, as it were, and (b) we're not looking for creativity, or anything like that - just record shots.

Yes, I did add in the time, it's true. However, the place and the fact that it was in the morning were already there, as was why the shot was my choice.
