Ilford liked my photo?!?

[navilluspm]

Just for kicks, while on the Ilford website, I submitted a photo for one of their galleries. I was pleased to see that it actually made it in.

This made me wonder: Does Ilford approve all non-offensive photos submited to their site, or just the ones that have some merit? Hmmm. . . .

The answer is probably in the fact that my photo made it to their site. Oh well, it was an ego boost until I really thought about it.

Can you give a link to the picture? I'm interested to see yours.

Right now it it the first picture on the Ilford Photo Community Enthusiast Gallery page. Here is the link to the photo itself. I hope it works: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/photocommunity/gallery/enthusiastdetails.asp?n=1746

I am pretty sure that they will post any non-offensive photo that a person submits - as long as your use their film. It is nice of them to do that.

Thats a nice photo. Well worthy for publication in their gallery. I wish I could get out of this slump i'm in, and take something worth sending in. What did you shoot it with?

Thanks to everyone.

I shot the sunflower with PanF+ using my (ahhemmm slr hemmmmm) with a distagon 35mm lens at 2.8 with a yellow filter.

Sorry about the SLR thing, but I can't afford a decent rangefinder right now (baby #2 is on his/her way). My Yashica Electro 35 got all buggy on me, and when I opened it to adjust the rangefinder, I snapped the winder off the camera (stupid, stupid, stupid). So, most of my pictures are with the Contax, but I enjoy this forum so much, and all the information I get, I shoot a roll with my broken GS every once and a while just to pretend I am an RF shooter. (I superglued the winder back on, but the RF went out of focus again, so now all my shots are blurry. ARghh)

Is the yashica a GSN I have a parts camera. Sent you a pm but you may not have gotten it. Thing is the winder works but has a slip in it when you go to advance the film, so it might not do you any good. Let me know what the problem is maybe I can help you out.
