    Im starting a website for Irish photobloggers with the hope that different photographers will submit photos on a daily basis of images around Ireland .

    each image will include a link back to your site or flickr and some detail about yourself if thats what you want.

    The idea behind it is to form a network of Irish photo bloggers so that photographers and display their work and any standard is welcome .

    If their are any photo bloggers interested please email photographers@msn.com

    thank you for taking the time to read this

    Anyone know?

    the photographer retains copyright it not about stealing its about building a group of photoblogs that are irish in nature besides you can watermark your work, if you are fearful or better still join and see.

    if you want to move this away from blogspot *shudder* I'd be happy to host it on my server.

    Either way, I'm interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,259 ✭✭✭Shiny


    I have expressed my interest to the guy also.

    I also recommended to him that blogspot isn't
    the best idea mainly due to the fact that after
    the last say 10 posts, everything is "archived"
    and is really hard to find after that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18 pixel 41


    the site is now up on http://irishbloggers.my-expressions.com/ so if your interested scroll up and email me all levels welcome


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,764 ✭✭✭Valentia


    Count me in. Though at my age this whole blogging stuff is weird :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,933 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    i'm also interested - sent you the mail.

    Slumped it's not about being good enough it s all just about owning a camera and having a desire to press the shutter , but the up take is going well I think it's up to 8/9 people still looking for more for those who have mailed me when you send a pic and its posted which they all will be your link is then added to main page, by the way thank you to the mods of this board for allowing this thread to run I think it will be really good to have a network of irish bloggers ( photo) helping to promote irish photography on the net and all in one place


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    attempted to start up something like this, albeit in a slighty different format about a year ago. Long story short, never bothered seeing it through due to other projects and put it on the backburner. It'll be good to see a collaborative project such as this getting off the ground. Do keep us updated as things progress pixel.

    Hey,

    I'd be really interested in this!

    Sent you an email

    P!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,764 ✭✭✭Valentia


    I know this is probably as thick as it gets but do I need a blog or will a mere Flickr a/c do?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18 pixel 41


    A mere flickr will lol more people are using it now for their main site to store their photos. rymus have you sent an email and joined ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,933 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    i had problems accessing
    http://irishbloggers.my-expressions.com/

    Can you detail or give a link to a readme of what to do , i.e. when to send in photo, do you accept only one photo a month, basically what to do to get photo added to blog , and what we need to join/ log into -- and when we can start submitting photos -- currently a bit confused .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 629 ✭✭✭cotton


    I'd like to it too but as I'm setting up a pet photography business, most of my images will be of animals & I don't know if that's what you're looking for?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,945 ✭✭✭slumped


    Is it OK to pimp the address of the site at this stage in my signature??

    Baz the link you posted worked here and the ones above have worked maybe it was down when you tried as I had to pick another template because for some reason the comments where not showing on the first template

    Slumped pimp away .
    cotton every one is welcome if you still have trouble Baz email me

    ok Baz you can send in photos as you wish , but to be fair on others they will join a Q you cant access the main blog you email the pics to me at photographers@msn.com the main idea behind it is to gather irish photo bloggers in one place so as to build a community of photographers you are included in our photographer links on the main page which links back to your own site thus building traffic for your on photoblog there is also a info blog at www.irishbloggers.blog-city.com.
    and if you join the mailing list that would be great as it deals with info and updates
    It really is a simple idea that I hope will work also I have in mind to approach people in the hope of having an display of the photos contained on the site, but that will be when it is fully working and working well , but that is the direction Im thinking but these things tkae time I hope that is more clear for you if you still have trouble just email me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,424 ✭✭✭440Hz


    Sent PM but not sure if should be doing something else?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,259 ✭✭✭Shiny


    440,

    I emailed my first picture and he was happy with that method
    anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,451 ✭✭✭blastman


    Hey pixel, interested in this although I have not got a flickr account or anything resembling a portfolio! Is it open to someone this green?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Email sent, pixel.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,763 ✭✭✭Fenster


    I'd do this, but I'm moving back to America permanently in January :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 629 ✭✭✭cotton


    Sent you an email.

    I'd be interested.

    But I'd like to know what are the plans for the future of the site or have you thought that far ahead ?

    e.g. do you see any commercial angles either for yourself or the bloggers ... or is it just a for the fun and the art of the thing ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    Would it be correct to speculate that once the site becomes very popular, emailing the photos to you to submit manually will become a very unwelcome workload?

    I can only imagine the kind of pain in the ass that would be.

    the simple answer would be no. its about getting people to use their camera with a purpose in mind helping each other to improve as photographers by commenting on the displayed photos on the site and creating a place for irish photographers (bloggers ) to show their work and of course there is the fun aspect to it also thats it for now in my mind.

    but how you use the site is up to your self when we link back to your site you can do what you like with the traffic you get .

    But I think anyone purly using it for commercial reasons would have missed the point of the photo blog hope this clears up some of your thoughts .

    Ihave had an offer of help which i will be taking up when I get back in touch with him and your right it has been busy this last 2 days but also i think this is the busy time once it is set up I expect it to run smooth as only one a day will be posted thats the hope anyway Pixel
