view profile

1Alan_M is a group moderator 1Alan_M says:

This thread is for nominations for the Sony Alpha Gallery Blog for March.
We ask each person who has a picture blogged to nominate another from the Group Pool.

Additionally, members of the group are invited to nominate any outstanding pictures that they see in the Pool and they will be used when the Blog is a bit quiet.

good choice....will blog it tomorrow

One wee thing, can we keep the images in this thread to small size, or just post a text link to the photo page and I'll do the necessary, otherwise the thread will take forever to load by the end of the month.

dj.bp - I hope my comment was not taken as criticism. The photo you chose was great, I just felt like a change of pace was needed.

Incidentally, while I've been happy to have my nominations blogged (and think the photos I nominated were great), I'm curious if there is going to be any mechanism for consensus. (After all, I'm no expert.)

Arkku's shot and bertieboy70's shot now blogged and 2 in the queue for tomorrow.

I think consensus leads to bland samey images.
I'm no expert either but I know what i like. Some of the shots that have been nominated aren't ones I've particularly liked but I've really liked some others. I'm not going to vet the nominations other than to avoid blogging sexually explicit images.

Nominations are open to every member of the group to nominate whatever shots from the pool they think are worthy of being included.

dj.bp says:

@apatek - I did not take it as criticism, don't worry. I ummed and arred as it were about posting the shot, but I had little time on my hands and had already spent long enough trawling the pool for something that caught my attention. The post was in response to the previous call from 1AlanM to blog another photo. I don't easily take offence.
