Thank you Darr! When will we be able to see the photos from all the groups on the web site?

As soon as the last group's packets ship (by 5/14), I will open the gallery for uploads and everyone can then upload their photo. I will also post instructions on how to do that. I will make an announcement as well. Thanks for asking David! :)

Kind regards,
Darr

[darr]

Sorry for the delay in getting Group #5's packets shipped. I over-estimated the amount of free time I would have this past week--I still have unfinished work that has to get delivered today! Please bear with me as I get it all done. I am hoping it will be tomorrow, Tuesday, May 17 when I can actually get your wonderful packets of creativity shipped. Thank you for your patience!

Kind regards,
Darr

No worries, with the exception of the people who filled in at the last minute, group 5 members are by definition a bunch of slackers. :D I'm looking forward to receiving the prints but am in no hurry.

Roger

[MIke Sherck]

No hurry, Darr: business always comes first. ;)

Mike

[Roger Thoms]

My Group 5 arrived today, I took a quick look today, very nice. Tomorrow I'll sit down a sped some time with the images. I wanted to thank everyone, and especially Darr.

Roger

[MIke Sherck]

My Group 5 prints also arrived today and I too had just time for a quick glance before heading out the door for a middle school star party! Wife has already sorted them into "frame and hang on my wall" and "frame and hang on your wall" piles. Thanks, everyone!

Which wall get's my print Mike? Hopefully not the bathroom wall :D

[darr]

I am receiving USPS confirmations that many of the US shipments have been delivered. It has been a tradition for this exchange to wait until all of the packets have been delivered before everyone begins uploading and sharing their work to the entire world. :)

So, staying with tradition, we will wait until our pal Gari Beet in Northern Ireland receives his packet.

*** Let us know Gari when you get your packet!! ***

Kind regards,
Darr

[gari beet]

Hi Darr, thanks for the consideration. However in view of the time it may take for the packet to arrive I would be happy for the pics to be posted in the gallery. The last time we did this the prints never actually arrived, get 'em up there I say :p

Regards
Gari

Don't forget me :-) I'm still waiting on the Group 5 set....

Okay, Ken let us know when you receive your packet. :)
I just thought Canada was a little closer than Scotland (sorry mistaken N. Ireland).

Darr

You're forgetting about our ever-efficient Customs...

I'll let you know when they arrive. They just left Miami on the 22nd (today).

[gari beet]

Yeh Baby..... I have the package at my feet now, just arrived through the door, just about to open the packet. Thanks Darr and all you folks, I shall post later once I have had a chance to peruse 'em.

Yippie!!

[KenM]

You've got to be kidding. :confused:

Wow. I mean, really. Wow.

My package hasn't even hit Customs yet. Too funny.

[Richard A Johnson]

Hi Darr and everyone else from group 5, I got my package and the prints are outstanding. Darr thank you for all of your hard work. And to everyone in group 5 " WE BE SMOKIN!!!!!"

Darr,

Any estimate of when these photos will be on the web page?

David,
As soon as KenM receives his print packet I will open the LF Print Exchange site for uploading. It is the responsibility of the photographer to upload their own photo. I will post an announcement with instructions on how to do it when it is time, which should be real soon. :)

Kind regards,
Darr

[KenM]

Don't hold your breath folks - last time it took almost 2 weeks for me to get my package.

In other words, June.

[KenM]

Package is still en-route.

Sorry folks.

[MIke Sherck]

There's another thread about a Canada Post strike tomorrow. If your package gets caught up in that, Ken... *Sigh* Let's hope not!

Mike

[KenM]

Well, the package *finally* hit Custom's. Took 2 weeks. That wasn't too bad :rolleyes:

Yeah, there's a strike coming - hopefully the package will clear quickly (yeah, right), and get here before they strike....

But don't count on it.

[MIke Sherck]

Cheer up, Ken: they say that anticipation is one of the rewards, so you've got more reward than the rest of us put together! It's worth waiting for, I have to tell ya...

If you don't have them by the end of the month, come on down to Bill Scwab's Photostock in northern Michigan. I'll bring my set for you to look at until yours shows up. :)

Well, apparently the strike is going ahead tonite.....and who knows how long it'll last - it could last a day, or it could go on for weeks.

Thanks for the offer Mike, but that's more than a bike-ride to get down to Michigan :D I may try to convince a buddy to host me for a week in San Fran this fall....

[KenM]

I've been informed that the print package has arrived (3 weeks after being sent).

[Roger Thoms]

I've been informed that the print package has arrived (3 weeks after being sent).

So am I to understand that even though you have been informed of the print package arrival, you haven't actually received the it.

Roger

[KenM]

My daughter received it for me today, while I was at work. I have therefore received, opened, inspected, and enjoyed the contents.

I think I've made myself clear :D

File Size & Copyright © Notice
Your digital image should be no larger than 750 pixels at the longest side.
It is a good idea to put your name on it for copyright purposes -- not necessary, but always better to do.
Note: If you cannot get a digital file of your photo to use, try contacting someone from your group for help.

Thumbnail
Thumbnail size is to be 200 pixels at longest side.
The site's program will automatically make a thumbnail of your image, but you can upload a separate thumbnail if you like.

Photo Info
Remember the "Photo Info Sheet" you filled out?
I save my info in MS Word and copy and paste it on upload, but maybe you prefer to update your info.

Get Going!

Thank you everyone for a successful 2011 Print Exchange!!

I am always amazed at the talent and technical abilities that are out there.
I am hoping to participate in a 2012 Print Exchange in another 6 months (already?)!

Kind regards,
Darr

[Matus Kalisky]

I git the package just 2 days ago and only had the time to really go through the photos now. Thanks to everybody involved - I enjoy the diversity of the work.

If I manage to produce some nice photos this year than I will definitely join the 2012 exchange!

The uploading of the photo to the gallery will follow soon.

EDIT: I have troubles uploading the image. After filling in all the information and photos (they do fulfill the requirements) and the security code and clicking SUBMIT the page keeps loading forever and does nothing ...

I had trouble trying to upload the images using Microsoft's Internet Explorer but when I switched to Opera things went smoothly.

Hey Everbody,

I uploaded my file via Firefox and had zero problems. The software for the site is free, but it is tested and if you use it for commercial purposes, it costs $. Here is a link to their support forum if you are having problems as I am sure they can help you:

Happy New Year Wayne!!
