32 County Photo - Take II

joeKel73 · 2010-05-09 12:02:44

Last August Tallon started a thread with the idea of passing a disposable camera around the country to different boardsies... received a lot of interest but don't think it got beyond the first person! So I thought I'd try revive the idea with a fresh new list as some people may have moved around since. The idea is to pop a…

Problem with that is, you have to pick a certain kind of memory card eg. CF or SD, and a lot of camera's only take one or the other.

No you just email or upload photo, no snail mail involved

as much as my interest in the thing is depleting by the day due to whoever it is that is holding up the show.... i don't really like the idea of changing it at this stage.

who *actually* has it - and what is the issue with taking a photo and putting it in an envelope? it's bright these evenings, so if you work and can't get anywhere in yer lunch hour there's always the way home and weekends, and €2 will cover an envelope and a stamp. heck - i'll even buy whoever it is an envelope and put a stamp on it and send it to them!

if they've lost it - no biggie - we'll just start again - but at least tell us if that's what's happened.

I reckon there should've been a list of phone numbers so they'd be able to contact whoever had it supposedly more easily.

tbh, It should have been next day delivery, or at most the day after.

Is the post running tomorrow?

There's no big panic on this as I keep saying - if people can get it passed on as soon as they can then we'll have everywhere covered eventually...

Not sent by registered post then I take it. Royal Mail envelope or stamp, or both? If it's only got a royal mail stamp on it I hope it's got a return address or we might be in trouble...?

And just a reminder of an important point for anyone joining this late;

Don't wind the camera until you are about to take your picture (and leave unwound when posting it on).

Oh no, that's not good.

You're 18th from my count. So 15 to go, including yourself. If it's on 24exp then we'll be up to 39exp if no most wasted shots.

It's a 39exp film that's in it... so no spare shots left.... please be careful people! Only wind the camera just before taking your ONE shot, and post it on unwound.

Maybe PM the rest of the names on the list, ask them are they ready to take the pic, do they have something in mind, will it take a day, week or a month to take it, whoever can do it quickest should be sent it, then 2nd quickest next.

I know you guys don't want to hurry it too much, but surely you have an idea in your head and just get out and do it ASAP.

I'd really like to see this finished, it seems to be losing momentum.

I've sent a PM eveyone in first 1st position for all the remaining counties and told them to come over here. If there's no takers by tomorrow we can try some backups.

Hi guys, I initially said I'd do offaly, can't do it now due to uni/holidays. I'll stick up a thread in the offaly forum to see if there are any takers.

(I know Tallon is down for back up but as he's done one already perhaps it would be nice to get someone different?)
