Photo Competition
The new Timebandit Trophy photography competition starts this coming Friday at 10am. Participants (anyone who owns a camera) will meet at a location close to the Corniche that will be announced on Thursday night. Then everyone will head off in their own direction for a 1 and a half hour photo shoot. They must remain on foot (no form of transport can be used) and return within the hour and a half. Then each contestant submits 3 of the images they have just captured during the shoot and then you can go home. In the following hours the images will be judged by a panel of photography wanabi experts (me included) and the final 10 images will be posted on QL for comments from the masses. Then at 8pm Friday evening the winners will be announced.
The prize is diner with me, all expenses paid by you ;) Na seriously this is a bit of fun only. There is no prize.
As a measure of interest only, please indicate if you are going to take part by posting here.
hay...
what happen to the event?
i didnt get any information about the place and time..
Personally I am out of time this side of Christmas, but if anyone else wants to organise this I think it could be a lot of fun. I have also learned that it may be worth making such an event official with QL and run it in conjunction with either or both the photography group and the QL social group.
This was an unofficial event organised by me, just a simple QL user.
can we do this again? or we do it thru flickr much easier to vote and post...
TB ...dont give up yet... maybe we could discuss over coffee :)
And you are supposed to do the "Shooting with gun" thing also ...remember
Good UK did not hit you with the "unofficial meet-up" stick... looks like he saves that stick for me.... lol
FS were you not weary of meeting strangers?...lol
Will be soon, and no you wont
Thanks TB... but do it fast before I retire... I will be retiring from QL when I reach 10000 points..:)
Photography is a passion of mine not a business. Anything I ever do on the subject is free. I give the use of my images for free, and I give advice for free. I know from previous threads who is interested in learning, and at some point will put a little coffee/camera meet together to go through the basics and then tie that in with a little photo shoot. I will PM those who have expressed interest in the next week or so to get something sorted out.
But I think I would rather put this event out of its misery and cancel it now.... so...
EVENT CANCELLED!!!
FS, me too, waiting on that free lesson.. :P
TB..I remember someone offering some class/workshop for photography...was it you or Baldrick?? why dont you do it again.. I am sure you will get more response ...(IF IT IS OFFERED FREE)..:)
I am a beginner.. I would like to get some tips from experts...:)
Ok... before I give up my Friday morning on a lost cause, let me quickly check the intended attendees.

The time will be 9am, the place will be the Pearl near QNB on the Corniche.
But with such a low interest, and the prospect of only 50% of any list turning up. I am thinking of dropping this as a bad idea.
lol TB,.. :P
Sure.... where would you like me to sign tee hee hee
(OMG I can't believe I just tee hee heed)
hmmmm TB the actor, how about an autograph? ;)
Yup... I am looking to take over from the late, great John Candy. I think I have everything it takes ;)
TB, don't tell me you're auditioning? ;)
I have just added it to my list of things to do UK, cheers ;)
O No, O God No TB, It is just a film set. I hope that you have visited this makeup film set near Zikreet? If not I would strongly recommend that you do..:)
Film set???? Are you a mega star UK?
Sorry TB One I dont have a SLR so wont stand a chance against you snappers, second I am off to Zekreet on Friday to the beach and the film set..Have a nice day. I have ordered a SLR from Malaysia which should be here by next week so I will join you guys at the next shoot out..:)
"Participants (anyone who owns a camera) will meet at a location close to the Corniche"
You do need your own camera MMAwan
TB.i am interested to participate but bring one extra camra.
Yeah TB, I think the others should be grateful I can't join you - they actually have a chance of winning now ;-)
:) - AM does not help lol... u guys have a good time.
ohh now time is also not fixed....
ok fix the time and place and let me know...
if u look at the exif file in the digital photos...
its very easy to tell which camera, which lens, what focal length, shutter speed, date, and also if you enhance the image using a software....
so i think cheat codes will work here.
It's 9am now... does that help
10AM friday is a hard time...
No money...no honey! :)
i am interested to participate....
let me know the place...
Oh and another thing. No out of camera manipulation. The images must be as shot.
9 am is ok.. :P
Well I am very open to suggestions regarding time. 9am is good with me. This is only a bit of fun after all.
Better make it from 9AM to 10:30AM
Well that's just as well snessy, at least that will give the others a chance now ;)
I'm busy on Friday TB, or else I would've joined you...
Good :)
if it's on Friday, then I won't be able to come and watch.. :(
roy the time is 10am on Friday, the meeting place will be disclosed on Thursday evening, but will be somewhere around the Corniche
exciting! please indicate the exact meeting place and time. thanks!
Make sure there is a pretty girl in your shot along the courniche, sure you will win.
jack, I know.. :)
That link is amazing....
JM, check out the earlier ones he posted... just brilliant.. I especially liked the ones of Aspire and the Corniche, etc...
http://www.qatarliving.com/node/1403061
Yeah mj.... judging by the ones he posted on Power racing he should have good ones in his Sony camera !
lol jack, or just nick TB's camera, steal some of his shots and pass it off as your own.. I bet he has lots of great shots taken.. :P
Cheat Code:
Carry your WIFI laptop... make sure TB doesnt notice it... the moment TB releases you to do the shoot... boot up the laptopl search for wifi signal.... or run over to the nearby park.... log into the internet... download beautiful pictures of Doha Bay ... load them into your camera.... run back before TB blows the "Time UP" Whistle.....
I would like to join...but I am just a beginner:) can I?
Incidentally the subject mater is up to you. You can shoot a portrait, a landscape, do a bit of macro, under water if you have the ability. It is entirely up to you. But you must capture the image there and then during the one and a half hours. Oh and of course you have to be able to submit your images digitally at the end of the 1.5 hours so film cameras may be a bit of a problem ;)
sounds cool, i wanna join ;-)
TB i invited the gay group in your photo competition and they are all grad to have a dinner date with you. lol
No Camera !
i will bring my Oil painting set, will tat do ? :(
lol there is no prize money....
Please get me loan to buy camera. Loan amount can be deducted from my prize money. Thanks in advance
:-(
I've got a camera, but it doesn't work well with me so I think I'll stay in the sidelines and watch.. :P
