    Any chance of alternating the book between Landscape and Portrait orientation every second year, say?

    I have a photo in mind already. But will probably spend a while looking through loads and then going back to my first pick...

    Really looking forward to this & weekend in Dublin.

    I'm sure this could be looked into but am guessing it will have to be considered in the context of cost & availability. ;)

    Well orientation costs nothing extra and not sure what you mean by availabilty ?

    We are in the process of contacting some printing companies and from what I understand not all of them offer the same size&format we are used to. Hence my previous comment...

    The only consideration I'm aware of in switching between landscape and portrait A4 is the size of the cover, and landscape is the more difficult option to produce.

    I'd have thought that with time being of the essence with this years production that a landscape or portrait book option might be the last thing we should be discussing. Its the kind of thing that can go on forever and, lets face it, this year we just don't have that luxury. Either, as far as I'm concerned, is fine. But a call should be made soon on it so it doesn't derail the project in any way.

    Sorry guys, I'm in the US this week with work, I'll open an expression of interest thread now to get names, this is so we can price the book (numbers). Then, payment must be made to confirm participation and finally, submit your photo.

    Date for launch will be finalised once we have a timeline for everything else :-)

    Surely a woman of your unquestionable skills already has multiple candidates to choose from? But then again, that is a big problem for a woman - making a decision .... :-)

    Sorry for introducing a totally different issue in this thread but ........

    I had suggested selling an "e" version of the photobook at say 2-5 euro a copy of previous years, even "boxed sets" of multiple years etc. Its a low cost (from a production point of view) and potentially high income earner.

    Is this a dead idea (already considered and discarded) or just forgotten?

    If I knew how, I would. I reckon whoever published it before should be able to give a price for a pdf version of it - I'm guessing it should only be a nominal amount.

    You could worry about ways of stopping people from copying it for "free" or just set a low price (say 3 or 4 euro per year, 10 euro for a boxed set of 4, x euro for all of them - not sure how many there are) and operate on a trust basis.

    Because it is a "soft" product it would be easier to reach a large audience - e.g. email all of the camera clubs in Ireland and ask them to promote it at their meetings, email friends, work colleagues etc.

    AFAIK getting the book in PDF format that could be sold will cost a fortune, your basically asking the design company to design it and had it over for pretty much nothing, yeah I know they are designing the book but they don't look at it that way......again this is just going on past experience with brokers we have used, I could be wrong!

    i don't know many print/design places that will hand over a high res PDF, but if someone on the team here is designing it themselves, then we already have the PDF when it's finished ;)

    I don't have any previous PDF files but perhaps someone does :) For now - I'm just going to focus on getting the book itself ready - hopefully we have pricing finalised, I'm just double checking on postage costs.. it should be a little lighter this year fingers crossed!

    Checked with the printer on that and it will be landscape.
    "the printing company is not physically set up to handle such a COVER shape. It would be easy for the printer to print such a PAGE but the software is not set up presently to take that shape."

    :D:D PM's have gone out!! Get payment in asap please folks and then your photos - time is of the essence!!

    Remember, if you don't want to be in the Photo Auction, let us know. Otherwise we assume you are happy for your photo to be uploaded in small size, to two locations: Pixie and our Wordpress blog. Only those two. (no facebooks etc.)

    If any external party want to use a photo - we will ask the photographer. The photos will always be titled and copyrighted with the photographer's name/boardsie nick as appropriate.

    So there it is! Get moving!!

    I had a photo picked but realised it's in portrait orientation...so back to the picking board. I know it can be portrait but landscape looks better I think.

    The problem with asking family/friends to pick, I think, is that if they don't pick the one you're preferring you'll probably ask them to pick again.

    Any update on what date the book launch is going to be?
