Moab Shootout 2008: Book submissions!

[schmoo]

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a safe trip back home and are re-adjusting to life as usual. :D

Last year's photo book was such a great success and I certainly know that this is something we're wanting to see this year, too. Before we all lose that rosy glow of contentment (or maybe it's the red dust :lol3), I'm going to open the floor for photo submissions.

As photographers, we all understand that we have our own processing schedules. I haven't even really looked at any of my own shootout photos yet, but some of you are feverishly processing and putting forth some really great stuff in your threads. So this gallery will remain open for submissions until, oh, let's say January 1 so there's no rush. 1. Please email in a MAXIMUM of 3 full-resolution JPG images to dgrinimages@email.smugmug.com with the subject line: "Moab" (no quotes.) As per Smuggy's email upload process (http://www.smugmug.com/help/camera-phones), you can attach the images and then write your name, Dgrin nickname and a caption in the body of the email. It's essential that your ID is kept with the images so we don't have to hunt you down later! Please check the gallery to make sure that everything looks OK, and if not leave a comment under the photo with the appropriate information.

2. To reiterate, we'll need full-resolution images, the bigger the better so that your photos show up pretty as possible in the book. Whether or not you want watermarks is your decision, but the pages will look nicer without them. I have the gallery locked down to a max viewing size of Medium with right-click protection, with printing OFF to make sure your images stay as safe as possible. :thumb
3. If you'd like to write a blurb, tell a story, give a shout-out to new friends, or contribute any other non-photo piece to our little yearbook, you can do that, too. Include it in the email, or if you're not comfortable with that, drop me a PM.
4. Candids and "model" photography is fine, too (and encouraged!) However, please make sure that your subjects have given you their consent before you submit them. If you're giving us your images, you're acknowledging that the model has given you permission for their likeness to be published in the book and should be able to provide proof if needed.

5. Let's limit the images to shootout photos only, please. Although many of us had fantastic pre-shootout experiences, this project is for the time we spent in Moab.
Just like last year, this book is NOT for profit and we're not using this book or your photos for any promotional purposes. This is just a little keepsake for those of us who went on the trip, and for us to show friends and family how much Dgrin rocks as a community. :ivar

Sound good?

[gluwater]

:clap Thanks Schmoo for taking on this huge responsibility again this year. I really enjoyed last years book and I'm sure this years will be a huge success also. :smo :smo You rock!!

[jdryan3]

I haven't even really looked at any of my own shootout photos yet ... You're not alone. Even with the smidgen I have posted I have plenty to get thru.

So this gallery will remain open for submissions until, oh, let's say January 1 so there's no rush. Great! I had nothing planned for New Year's Eve. Now I do. :D

:agree

And, please let me know if you need any help Schmoo!

[Nikolai]

Thanks Steph! Jan 1st is great deadline!

[schmoo]

And, please let me know if you need any help Schmoo!

I certainly will because I know I'll need a few hands when it's all put together. :D

[Cuong]

In case we change our mind between now and 1/1, how do we go about switching out the images already submitted? Is the 3-image limit per shootout attendee? My wife, Hoa, doesn't have a Dgrin or smugmug account. Can she submit her images using my Dgrin name?

Cuong

Hoa was such a good sport when we were climbing! Sure, if she wants to submit 3 images too, just make sure that her name is attached to the submission as well so she can get credited in the final book.

Good point about the switching. I haven't really thought of that, as in a perfect world there would be no changing of minds. :lol3

If you decide you want to switch an image, just leave a comment in the gallery under the image that you want removed, and that'll be the easiest way to flag it.

[anwmn1]

Do the candids count towards the 3 submittals?

Only 3 is going to be difficult enough!

[schmoo]

Do the candids count towards the 3 submittals?

Only 3 is going to be difficult enough!

Unfortunately yes, 3 total. I thought long and hard about it and consulted with others and amongst other logistics, 3 photos from each of 59 shooters is already a ton of photos! So make 'em good :D

Oh, also don't be worried about not making it in. There was some discussion about that at the group dinner in Moab. This is our book, every photo counts. :thumb

This is our book, every photo counts. :thumbSome of us came to the shootout with a partner. If these partners are also eligible to submit their 3 photos, that would put the total beyond 59 registered shooters. Since every submitted photo counts, I assume we would want the 180+ photos to best cover a variety of aspects and views of the shootout. I'd submit my 3 and check on the gallery occasionally before the deadline to see if someone else has a better version of my submission, then I'd swap mine out with something that hasn't been covered.

Blurb is finally adding the premium paper option (http://blog.blurb.com/index.php/2008/10/21/introducing-premium-paper/), however, that's only available for books with up to 160 pages.

Cuong

Thanks for the heads-up! Last year's book had more photos per shooter and was still less than 150 pages so this might be possible. Looking forward to seeing the details on this tomorrow. :D

[Swartzy]

I take it this is only for those that attended the shoot out and not for those who "almost" made it with pre-shoot out stuff???

[jamesl]

I take it this is only for those that attended the shoot out and not for those who "almost" made it with pre-shoot out stuff???

Good question. :D I was one of those who 'almost' made it, although I did attend the first Mesa Arch sunrise shot with Andy and other dgrinners. :thumb

Pssst! Swartzy! Over here. Send me $$ for one room night at Red Cliffs, I will send you Smug strap smeared with red dirt and allow you to submit 1 image under my name.:wink

Just don't tell schmoo or Andy :smile6 :smile6 :smile6

I'm really sorry, but I'm gonna have to say yes. We do have the draw the line somewhere, although I completely agree with Cuong in that I've seen some FANTASTIC work from both of you already that puts my stuff to shame! :rolleyes

[Rhuarc]

This is great to hear! Even though I haven't been to a shootout yet I got last year's book, and it was amazing to see the images and to read the stories! Can't wait to do the same this year! (Although next year I hope to be at the shootout! ;) )

Schmoo you do fine work!

[schmoo]

Schmoo you do fine work!
:lol3 Thanks for the kind words but I get tons of help from everyone in Dgrin! Sorry we didn't get to see you in Utah this year! :rolleyes

[Cuong]

Bump. Only 3 more weeks till deadline. Please get your images in.

Cuong, you're good. I was about to bump this thread this morning and you beat me to it. :lol3

But, you're absolutely right. I do hope to have a fantastic book this year but we need your shots!

:haha

[schmoo]

Hey folks, the images we have so far are pretty darned awesome, but we don't have enough interest to warrant a full book. I know that we have a few more weeks to go, but with the holidays coming up I know that we're all getting exponentially busier :lol3

I do hope that you're able to get to your shootout photos, but if there still isn't enough interest in this I'm afraid we're going to have to nuke it due to lack of material.

I hope it doesn't come to that because there was a lot of interest before (submissions and getting you guys involved in the building process), and I do think this is such a cool project! Please prove me wrong, here? :thumb

[catspaw]

the 'holidays' are actually my FREE time from work, so that's when the images and blurbs will be rolling in on my side! hopefully this is the case for some of the others, as I'd *LOVE* to get this type of book together. Heck, if it doesn't happen, I'll probably put together one from just my own images for a few people who wanted ones. (I know I'll be doing 3-4 orders right here).


go team! :D

[Nikolai]

ETA: before NY :-)

[ian408]

I sure hope more folks choose to participate. The Glacier book was amazing and a great reminder of a wonderful trip (thanks schmoo!).

[elmo]

I know both Cabbey and I will be submitting some shots.

[Prezwoodz]

I finally submitted some shots although my captions didn't seem to go through :(

Can I write them in there somehow?

Ja! I have been going through periodically and updating captions, so please do! :)

I should be able to get Kate's and my shots in Monday.

Hey Schmoo... you had any thoughts on the form factor of the book? I've got a couple panos I've been working on, but if the physical layout of the book isn't going to be pano friendly, I'll switch to some other shots.

Hey Cabbey,

Those are some pretty awesome panos! Very artsy :D

Last year panos were great - we had room for two-page spreads so we can certainly accommodate anything. So don't worry about formats!

That's hilarious, though. What a gorgeous view!

Hi Steph.
I e-mailed our photos, But I didn't realize the message from the email would be posted also.
You may want to clean that up a bit.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Dave,

No probs and thanks for letting me know! I trimmed the captions for your shots and Kate's, too. They look awesome! :smo

[schmoo]

I see lots of great desert shots are rolling in. You guys rock! :D

As I'm going through I see that this latest submission (http://dgrinimages.smugmug.com/gallery/6308505_CPfd7#445389984_C8vp5) may have had some completion issues on the upload. Can whoever it was re-submit? Sorry about that.

[jdryan3]

I haven't even really looked at any of my own shootout photos yet ... You're not alone. Even with the smidgen I have posted I have plenty to get thru.

So this gallery will remain open for submissions until, oh, let's say January 1 so there's no rush. Great! I had nothing planned for New Year's Eve. Now I do. :D

Wow! :huh
What a busy, busy couple of months! Not even time to read the forum much less make posts. :bluduh

So what day is it anyway :scratch And when are those pix due :dunno
Hmmm. January 1, 2009 'cording to Schmoo :deal
Well, I knew I was going to be busy tonite. Guess that makes me a prophet :rolleyes

Oh, and thanks Aaron & Cuong for the reminders! :thumb

[Cuong]

Earlier today I sent out a reminder to shootout participants who have yet submitted their entries. I got this surprised reply from Marc: Well, this is the first I have heard of both the book and the deadline since the dinner at the Red Cliff in. Very sorry but I will not have any images by tomorrow. Furthermore I am on a video shoot through the 7th so, the soonest I can have images is the 10th. Please let me know if that will suffice.

Happy New Year I told Marc that Schmoo is in charge so I'd let her handle this.

There are also several with no caption or shooter info... If anyone sees theirs without those, put a comment on the photo. I've been going through and moving that into the captions. (Schmoo, I've also been hiding dupes and corrupted images, I can delete instead if you'd prefer.)

Corrupted images?? There were multiples? :huh I deleted two already, but the only one in question is this one (http://dgrinimages.smugmug.com/gallery/6308505_CPfd7/2/445780245_KiQpN#446567530_VfZEX) AFAIK

Awesome, thanks :thumb. I suspect we may not get shooter IDs on all of them, but I hope we do!

[schmoo]

My jaw is on the floor with some of these shots. Seriously. I am so so so amazed at the work that's been rolling in!!!

Gallery (http://dgrinimages.smugmug.com/gallery/6308505_CPfd7)

Just some admin stuff: I do not want to have to go through and delete photos that don't have shooter information, so please, please, please can you all check to make sure that your images are properly labeled? I don't want to publish un-identified photos so this is essential for you as the participant! Just leave a comment underneath, and that should be sufficient. :thumb

Also, I've gotten very few non-photo submissions. It's not required but this year we wanted to give Dgrinners the opportunity to write something (reflections, essays, impressions, shout-outs, bad goth poetry, :lol3) so feel free to submit that as well if you wish. PM or Email works, too. :D

Lastly, I'm going to need some helpers to be editors and proofers and general wall-bouncers over the next several weeks. If you'd want to do this, speak now or forever hold your peace!

[Llywellyn]

I'll gladly help in the editing/proofing/bouncing-offing department. :D

Hi guys,

I really, really apologize for the delay but I finally got in the last submissions and I've already started putting it all together. After my trans-continental move, things got put on hold for a while. Your patience is so very appreciated and I'm posting this update not only for your benefit of staying in the loop, but so I have no excuse now not to kick this into top priority. :thumb

Awesome! Thank you, it's great having more eyes. :thumb

Unfortunately I got caught up with stuff last night and didn't get a chance to upload the book. Given my connection it will take at least an hour (ungh) and right now I'm headed out of town and will be back on Sunday. Enjoy your weekend and I'll be in touch beginning of next week!

[pathfinder]

Kathy and I will be happy to help in any way we can, Stephanie

[Phyxius]

I can help too, Schmoo. I can't wait to get our book from this shootout!

[catspaw]

I'm back from my weekend, so any time you need it, just toss the book at me :)

[cwphotos]

I am able to help as well, though you have plenty of offers already. But let me know none the less. Thanks Schmoo. :D

[schmoo]

Woot! Thanks for all the volunteers. I actually have the PDF ready to go but have to still find a place to host it so I can share it with you editors.

Google Docs?

Google Docs?
And if that doesn't work, Star*Explorer website will be happy to oblige :wink

[schmoo]

Gdocs will do a 300MB colorful PDF file? If so please walk me through it, as I've not been able to find how to import it yet.

We have a server at home but it's being used for something else (I think). I have a few offers, so I'll let you know, but it won't be today as it's gonna be an all-nighter tonight. Thanks!

Zip it! :deal

[kdog]

I can host it on a good server if you can get it to me. I can pull it using FTP or HTTP or what have you.

BTW, you can also add me to the list of reviewers if you like.

-joel

[kdog]

Zip it! :deal

I'm assuming most of the size is images, and they're already compressed as you know. :wink

[schmoo]

I'm assuming most of the size is images, and they're already compressed as you know. :wink

Yeah I tried compressing more and it went from 300.9 MB to 300.8 MB. Whoop-dee-doo! I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm currently uploading it to the servers at Smug. It's still taking forever.

I'm not sure if there's something I'm grossly overlooking. Last year's book was roughly the same length (144pp) but only 80 MB. I don't get it. :dunno

The book just now contains nearly 4 times the awesomeness....... :D
