Thanks for the update, John. I suspect a lot of us are looking forward to what was submitted to the contest.
Thanks for your very hard efforts this weekend getting everything scanned and ready to go up on the website.

Take your time John. We realize all the work you're doing, and know what a perfectionist you are. You gotta stop giving yourself unrealistic time deadlines! I'll have to talk to your boss myself. "John...lol" Bob

Before I create a link at HarbourLights.com I'd like to ask contestants to review the pages and 1. Make sure all their entries are shown 2. That they are on the appropriate page 3. That the link from the thumbnail to the larger photo works and brings up the correct picture 4. I've identified the photo correctly on the individual page If you find an error, please indicate which PAGE the error is on and which # photo is in error. If your photo(s) are missing, let me know what the photos were of and how you submitted them. I will be identifying the individual photographers after judging is complete. www.HarbourLights.com/contests/ [This message has been edited by JChidester (edited 02-04-2002).] [This message has been edited by JChidester (edited 02-04-2002).] [This message has been edited by JChidester (edited 02-04-2002).]

John Great job on getting all this organized. Great job to all the members who submitted the photos. The Judges have their work cut out for them. I think I agree that some one should start a photo forum so every one can compare notes on how to take great photos. I enjoyed Paul's lecture at the reunion and have tried to put some of his tips to work. Thanks again John, Great Job

WONDERFUL JOB JOHN!!!!!!!
Superb layout and great photos in all of the categories. I know that I'm going to spend a considerable amount of time after I hit the send button looking at the photos more closely in all of the categories!
I wish I'd been able to see these sooner but went to the lake with the cameras this afternoon.... to shoot... what else, the lighthouse at South Haven!
For those wackos planning to come to Michigan this summer to photograph, be very glad you weren't there today! Temp in the low teens with 30 mph winds. Not sure what the wind chill was but trust me, it was VERY COLD!!!! Enough so that the spray that I got hit with from waves breaking was hitting me as frozen hail pellets rather than water!

Congratulations to Tim (Torchbearer) for coming up with the photography contest idea and to John for doing all the work getting it set up for everyone to enjoy. There are some really great pics there, and not too many duplicates. I know that many of us will spend a fair amount of time enjoying these pictures. As others have said, I sure don't envy the job the judges must do!
It is also nice to see that we have added several new members because of the contest. I hope that they become active participants in many of the forums offered within the Collector Forums. Welcome to all, and we look forward to seeing you here regularly.

Not much there to guess, Bob... when you click the thumbnail to get the big picture, the link appears in the address window in your browser. Terry noticed that last night.

Sheryl No - don't assume that. I have photos for 3-4 more people that didn't get posted before. Hang in there. I've corrected most of the errors. I hope tomorrow I'll be able to have you all look one more time. John

OK, entrants. Please take another look to see if I fixed or added the pictures you requested. The only person whose photos are NOT currently there and should be is Linda Manning. Again, please email me with anything else you see that needs fixing: www.HarbourLights.com/contests/ webmaster@harbourlights.com [This message has been edited by JChidester (edited 02-06-2002).]

Thanks so much for undertaking this contest, John. You always do such a great job. The realization of where I haven't been comes leaping out at me when I view all the entries. And, I also realize that I will depend on seeing other photographer's work of the winter in Michigan.......Judges will have a tough time with the final decisions they have to make......we'll all look forward to finding out who the winners are....

Oh come on, Nana, where's your spirit of adventure? Michigan winters are fun! That's why so many people from here vacation in Florida in the winter! I didn't enter any winter shots in the HL Photo Contest, but certainly have enough of them in my collection and files. Beautiful, but certainly have the capacity to be brutal as well. Gary

John, many thanks for the huge effort. Every time I look at the pictures that were entered I see something new. The winter shots are great, but the evening and night shots give me something to look forward to in a couple of months. There are many here on the forum with an artistic eye which really shines in all the entries. I really don't see any losers in the whole batch. Chuck ------------------ bigdragon

Most info that I can give you came from John when I gabbed with him on AIM for a few minutes last night. Kim is working on the judging and HL's graphics designer will also be participating. Don't know when they'll finish and announce a decision, but that's the only update I can give anyone.
