    Right! It's the final few days of preparation and we're pretty much all set!

    The photowalk details are posted, the Quick Shot event is heating up and the Book Launch is going to be a great evening :)

    Full details are on the blog!
    If you're not in Dublin and can't make it for the walk or the launch - you can still take part in the competition - and the prizes are pretty damn awesome if I do say so myself!

    The phone (Nokia Lumia 1020) for example - wow - for a phone camera, that's pretty impressive!
    Capture modes: Video, Still.
    Scene modes: Automatic, Night Portrait, Sports, Night, Close-up, Backlight.
    White balance modes: Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight, Automatic.
    Light sensitivity: Automatic, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, ISO 1600, ISO 3200.
    Secondary camera resolution: 1280 x 960 pixels.
    Secondary camera f-number/aperture: f/2.4 .
    Secondary camera - other features: HD 1.2 MP wide angle, Video recording, Still image capture, Video call.
    ..
    So I know what I'll be doing from 1pm-2pm on Saturday :D

    Are you all looking forward to Saturday? We here in BPB HQ are :)

    And don't forget: Apart from the prizes in the Quick Shot Competition there's as well a raffle during the launch.

    We have prizes for the raffle sponsored by different forum members (stcstc/360.dpi, keps, eyeblinks, Nebezpeci Mys/trooney...).
    If you want and can sponsor something as well please get in touch with me or Cork_girl - the more prizes the merrier ;)

    Hi,
    If anyone will be in Galway anytime after the photo launch can you PM me please?
    Someone will be at the book launch with an item/Christmas present that I need to get before Xmas.
    I can meet you in or anywhere near Galway to pick it up.

    Cheers,
    Pa.

    Sorry, I meant to post here also - my car broke down so I couldn't carry them to a post office! Got it back and the books will be in the post tomorrow!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,689 ✭✭✭joeKel73


    Phew. :p No panic, so long as they didn't go missing in the post.

    Very nice to get the Special Mention :)

    (I'll be donating the dinner for two to SSF in some way shape or form.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭mumof2


    Great shots!! Well done everyone :-)

    Mine arrived yesterday - thanks again! ;)

    Great collection of photos and very well presented - well done everyone!


  • Moderators Posts: 6,870 ✭✭✭Spocker


    Another book ordered - the owner of the van in my pic wants a copy from himself for posterities sake :D (and he thinks SFF is a good cause too...)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,146 ✭✭✭Morrisseeee


    Got mine the other day, thanks to all who organizers/contributors. I can only imagine the smile on the children's faces when they get their presents (SSF that is), a great charity.

    Merrrrry Christmas :)

    September/October usually with launch the end of Nov/first weekend December depending on availability/goodwill of the Dublin Camera Club! It all depends on interest each year :)

    Am I right in thinking that the 2013 book has fewer pages (participants) than 2012, and was about half the thickness of the 2011 book?

    This year there were just over 50 participants vs 70 odd last year - so 20 fewer. The year before that we had a very high number - over 100. Before that it was always in the region of 50-70 I think.

    Just saw an email from Vincent in Shakespeare Photobooks with the news that they will no longer be selling photobooks from 22nd February 2014.

    He has been a huge support to the Boards annual Photobook - a huge thank you to Vincent.
    ShakespearePhotobooks Ltd will stop selling photobooks, calendars & cards on 22nd February 2014.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Thats a big loss.... they have been really good to us over the years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭sdevine89


    Just wondering if there are plans to make this happen this year?

    Anyone know of a similar service with similar quality that's available now that Shakespeare Photobooks have closed. I'd rather something local than Vistaprint etc. Working on a collaborative project similar to the boards book.
