    It's a thow away camera, it won't get damaged.

    But how-so?

    If there is gonna be one unreliable person in the chain, it will still screw it all up, regardless if they were supposed to send it to you or to another person.

    It just increases the cost of the activity, the time it will take and the chances of it all going wrong in my opinion.

    But then again I am not involved so whatever you guys want!

    That would thirty-oneuple the postage costs for the organiser?
    (rather than double :) )

    Well it'd be the mannerly thing to fling a few stamps in with it when posting back to GCHQ.

    32 hands of people from the internet on the one steering wheel doesn't, hasn't and won't work. It's not the first time this has been attempted.

    31 people from the internet in the back of the van and one hand on the steering might.

    It does bump the cost but that would be the cost of doing it as opposed to it not happening.

    I think the fact that's going to cost a lot of money, We should just trust that each person will forward the camera?

    Humber has a point (logistically wise), I agree with that, but like Ricky said, it will increase the cost.
    Anyho, I don't care either way, I just want this thing to get going! :o

    Appologies for the delayed take-off, there was ash in the... I'll take the Galway photo and get this on the road tomorrow.

    First person (who is on the list) to PM me their address can have it next. I'll reply when I get this.

    Only just saw today's discussion, bouncing the camera through one person would only highlight who lost it, so too would just posting a message when you send and receive the camera.

    I copied that from Tallon's thread, i think the idea was that it'd be put with the photo if displayed somewhere. I think I'll leave that out actually!

    Yeah the photos will definitely be displayed online...

    Cool!
    Go cats Go!

    So now Fotojoe leaves a message when the camera has been send out to Artyeva.

    Upon receival, Artyeva tells us "Yoink, got it" and the next person in the list PM's their address to Artyeva.

    I think it might be a good idea to stick with the alphabetical order of counties - in order to avoid confusion of where it's been? So, next in line are either Ghostintheruins or - when he can't do it - Pullandbang.

    I just noticed that this way, the camera will end up in Louth lastly, I'm the back-up person there and would be more than happy to get it developped and posted online - unless KKV is available for shooting. We'll sort that out anyway.

    So: TO DO

    Foto Joe: Take pic and send camera to Artyeva + notes when camera has left

    Artyeva: Leaves a message whens the camera arrives and when it get's send away to either GITR or PnB.

    Ghostintheruins: Claims the job and sends address to Artyeva. If not available - PM's Pullandbang to take over

    PullandBang: is on Standby! If needed - repeat step above :o


    Go Team Go!!

    was thinking what if instead of posting it you physically handed it to the next county at the border like? seems crazy but if it didn't work last time with post, might not be a bad idea?

    This is a brilliant Idea.... that would cut out the post altogether....... I really like this idea :)

    But half these border places are in the middle of no where (and you should know T. you live in Offlay!)

    Sure for those that don't drive (I do) it'd be a 'mare and for those that do it could be quite a schlep.

    Instead of having it as a rule then why not an option? For e.g: I'm doing W. Meath but live mostly in Dublin. I could pick it up from someone in Wicklow (only for e.g), drop out and do shoot in Athlone and then drop it off in Dub. Now the Dub could be in Skerries and next drop might be in Naas (you never know). Well that's a trip and a half if you've no car. Why not let those that are passing the baton on figure out the easiest route?

    K guys here is a Suggestion Include a simple log. Say 3 or 4 A4 notepad sheets of paper steapled together and send it with the camera keep the same peice of paper with the camera from the start, foto-joe you right 1 - then the county , then a discription of your photo, next person leaves a few line then writes 2- the county , and a discription. that way when the camera get developed we'd know what pics belong to who as we are only allowed 1 pic per county, also you could simply add a page if its running out of space as we go along too. It would make interesting reading for us all too, and to see why we chose the spots we chose and where they are!

    P.S. another idea would be to include 2 cameras, take the exact same pic on both one would serve as a backup to the other should anyone leave a finger in view, or in case of damage, i know it adds to the postage but it makes sense IMO

    Why not add a little spice to it and not say whose pic is whose for a little bit? Just pop up the 32 pics randomly and allow them to be be viewed with no narrative for a little while? It'd be a bit of fun guessing which is belonged to who and where. Sure we'll all know our own photo.

    OK time for an update, I've been looking around for a disposible camera on Friday and yesterday but they're all 27exp!! Anyone know who sells one that does more than 32exp? I'll go over to Tesco for a look in a while, was surprised Boots didn't have any.

    We'll keep this simple, there's a lot of cooks coming in with different ingredients now!

    Simply let the thread know when you send and receive the camera. The list will be updated to show where it's been already then either PM someone who hasn't got it or offer it up for first response. If you want to hand it over on the border, that's up to the two people involved.

    Leaving out the labels from the package, no lists either, just a remind of the rules, essentially: Take only 1 photo and don't wind the camera until you're ready to take it, and don't wind after!

    I think that would take from the whole idea though.

    The woman in boots was confused by my insistence on a 32+exp camera when their 27exp ones were buy one get one free!

    Tallon where did you get the camera last time?
