Thank you to Xia for organising!

Probably a question that's already been answered but what sort of size photos should be submitted please?

I'm not sure if there actually was any minimum or maximum size/resolution set, but my guess would be that ideal resolution is 300dpi or higher, where 240dpi would be minimum for printing.

The chart on the link below would then determine the dimensions of the image, depending on whether you want to participate in the print auction or not.

Please feel free to correct me, somebody, if I'm wrong...:)

dirtyghettokid · 25-10-2012 9:44pm

do we have to choose an image that's the same orientation as the book format?

No, I wouldn't think so. If you would prefer to submit a photo in portrait, please feel free to do so... I'm sure there were 'non-landscape format' pix included in the book before.

GristlyEnd · 25-10-2012 10:07pm

It can be landscape or portrait. The book will be landscape.

GristlyEnd · 25-10-2012 11:15pm

I received a PayPal payment today from Sean Smyth. Could please PM me so I know your username on boards. Please also include your email address you used for the payment so I can confirm it's you.

Thanks very much to all the people working on this project.

Teferi · 26-10-2012 1:04am

Hey Darren, thanks for letting us use your account. Question - do we need a paypal account to pay into yours?

I've no idea but if you want to pay by bank transfer I'll send you my details.

If you have a credit card you can pay into the account. Darren can send an invoice if needed.

Yeah, would that be possible? I don't have a credit card so can't pay with that.

Let me know how much your bank charges will be and I'll add that to the payment.

bravo · 26-10-2012 12:03pm

Thanks Darren for looking after this. Money sent.

Teferi · 26-10-2012 2:11pm

Money sent. Thanks for doing this Darren.

Edser · 26-10-2012 2:20pm

Payment sent.

Tiriel · 26-10-2012 3:10pm

All systems go! I've sent an email to a few people (that were in previous books) to remind about the payment deadline, in case they hadn't seen PM's. Deadline for payment is tonight.. so please get the monies in if you have been putting it on the long finger! (I better go do that now then, ahem!)

The book colour has been chosen and will remain a SURPRISE!

As soon as you know what image you want to submit, send it in. The earlier the better! Gives Darren a chance to build the book and not be left with a huge bulk of work at the end.

Anyone want to commit to organising a Photowalk for the 1st December - the day of the launch?

Morrisseeee · 26-10-2012 3:17pm

Payment just sent there, now..................the fun begins, what photo to select :eek::o:confused:

Still struggling with picking a photo, thought I had one picked but then wasn't sure if it would be any good for print auction. Decisions, decisions all part of the fun of BPB

mumof2 · 26-10-2012 6:33pm

I asked family today about a few shots, both picked the one I wanted, but both had different opinions on how to crop it!!!!

Thank God for friends

They're my next port of call

Adrian.Sadlier · 26-10-2012 9:28pm

Photo sent a minute ago - payment a couple of days ago!

Strawberry Swan · 27-10-2012 12:13am

Splinters · 27-10-2012 2:22pm

Payment sent yesterday. I left a paypal comment to say it was myself. Ill have the image sent over by the end of today.

EyeBlinks · 27-10-2012 6:06pm

Could we have the size of the page please?

mumof2 · 27-10-2012 8:44pm

Im in the middle of uploading the image, only to discover I havn't a clue how to get a copy of the Paypal receipt

I received an email with a transaction number but im not sure where to find the link within the paypal account to be able to save this for emailing onwards.

Please advise if there is a simplified way of doing this:D
Thanks

pullandbang · 27-10-2012 8:57pm

MissusP&B's pic sent so you should have both of ours now.

telecinesk · 27-10-2012 9:16pm

Paymemt sent, same email as username Darren.
Square format image submitted. I hope it came through Cork Girl.

Looking foward to seeing the book soon.

why not make a screenshot of said email and forward that

I did think of that, but im on the mac and was hoping for an easier option than having to use phone to take pic and upload that to mac first.

However, time is of the essence so off I go:o

Thanks;)

If anybody [stealthily looking at SinisterDexter] would organise a photowalk... it would -for various reasons- mean the world to me.

The email your receive from PayPal (with the transaction ID) is the receipt; you can just forward it, with the picture attached

The book is A4 format, so the actual page will be slightly smaller.

I'd be up for a photowalk. If there isn't one I'll wander around Dublin on my own for a while.

i could keep you company (if you don't mind

) and if there are more people joining we'll have a photowalk. how about that ?

SinisterDexter · 30-10-2012 1:47pm

I was made aware there was a launch date picked..... and there was a request for a photowalk [stealthily looking at picaaf].... I will put on my thinking hat and see what I can come up with. Last year was a great one!

BFassassin · 30-10-2012 10:05pm

Just sent my photo in. Good luck putting the book together. Looking forward to seeing the finished product

dinneenp · 30-10-2012 10:30pm

Call me stupid but how do I submit a photo (when I have it selected?)
The PM that I got from Tracy don't say how to submit it?
Do I e-mail it to Darren Greene too?

GristlyEnd · 30-10-2012 10:33pm

"Once you have made payment, please forward your paypal receipt and photograph to boardsbook@gmail.com"

You may have missed it in the PM

You send it to boardsbook@gmail.com with any caption/data you want included in the book. Size and resolution recommended for the image are on previous pages of this thread (me thinks). Oh, and if you don't want your image used for the auction, you need to mention it in the email.

It's a date so. We can sort out times and if we want a very rough route or just wander around

dinneenp · 30-10-2012 11:00pm

Thanks...yes I missed it.
Instead of pondering painfully over picking a photo I've done it in about 10 minutes.
Submitted. Done. Great.
Looking forward the weekend & photowalk.
