Call for June 2012 exhibition
Pick out the best photo of June from your own album and send the link in a PM to shoottell.
For June exhibition we would like to have the links by the end of June 30th at the latest. It will take a few days to put this together, so the exhibition will open the door around the 3rd of July 2012.
We hope you all will join in and send your best of the month that you would like to show a bit extra. If you find it difficult to decide what is your best picture of the month, then let moderators to decide! We hope to see photos from all of us!

Statistics
Themes are here to stay! Almost 80 Contrast theme pictures and over 100 Green theme pictures proves this. Oddities theme however, was perhaps too challenging. Although, almost 60 pictures is not bad either.

The number of active members with albums is currently alarming decreasing. We are about to close few inactive albums and no new members since April. One problem is that many of us have been busy. But please folks, do remember, recreation is just as important as daily bread


Articles on photography will be back soon
We have had no articles on photography lately but surely we will have them again when we just some time to recruit some new writers and/or write them by ourselves. There are at least several interesting topics that deserve attention. For example articles on mobile phone photography and short GIMP introduction could be topics we think would interest our members. But if you have any ideas who could we invite and what kind of topics would interest you, please tell us here on comments.

http://www.biofos.com/index.html (for Olympus)
http://www.gsmarena.com/
If anyone knows any more web sites like these, please share

There are millions of articles about "how to use your camera" online so I dont get your argument!

More the reason why it would be useful to review those. Aka write an review where best web sites are listed.
But by all means, do write the article on Olympus OM-D EM5 then! Surely we can try if our readers find those kind of camera specific articles interesting. I recommend referring into following sources:
http://www.biofos.com/mft/omd_ann.html
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympusem5/

Will wait and see if there are more responce on the OM-D article!
dpreview took a few indoor shots and wrote about OM-D on that basis
Good idea to review reviewers

Oh, one question. Do I still have to upload 4 photos for June, even it is 9pm 30 June here in NZ? The rule says 4-40 photos per month but does not specify if the "month" means current calender month or over a 30 day period.
Thomas Oneclicksamoht1 # Saturday, June 30, 2012 9:15:32 AM
The rule is current month!
Have you tried @ upload?
We are aware of upload problems so you can upload when Opera have solved problem

I don't know what that is but if you mean using email to upload, I have never used the facility for photo uploading because my attempt at emailing blog post was unsatisfactory. I would rather wait until the bug is fixed.I'm off to bed soon. Thank you for the head-up, Thomas. Have a nice weekend.
