I'll second Scott. It would be helpful to have at least a target date thrown out there for planning purposes as I may have to farm out some medium format scanning.

No, camera, lens, and film is what we included in the first book. Fudge it if you have to, who will know?

Gordy, not a bad thought, but that would be another "thing" to collect from a lot of people to get the project completed. We actually did that, kind of, for the first book. We used the photos as the art on the back cover. This time around we have too many participants to pull that off.
Hi all,
Some more news,
I have to slightly apologize as I will have the list of participants completed soon, I am almost done, and I will send out a group email restating the submission info outlined on this thread. I just need to take the time to finish this up, then populate the rff.forum.com email address book. Luckily there are quite a few email addresses in there from the first book project and the Pass the Rangefinder correspondence.
I have not sent confirmation emails to everyone. I perhaps should have, but by and large the answer to the question is yes, you made the cut.

Where'd my Bessa go?
A couple of quick questions before I get cracking on this.
Thanks!
- Would the panoramic image format using a Xpan be acceptable? I'm assuming an image in the portrait orientation would be acceptable subject to the 1200 pixel restriction but what if an image were to be taken in the regular landscape orientation? The size retstriction would make it look quite small.
- Digital format using a R-D1 acceptable?
Thanks!

Is possible either to crop some image taken with an RF camera? (sometimes, I really do like square format cropped from a regular 24*36mm) and respecting the 2100/300DPI on the larger side? (ouarf ouarf...)

Looks like I miss out again. I was away from the forum over the weekend and look what happens. Maybe I can make it for the third book.

Yes and Yes
Please send your question regarding landscape orientation to rff.forum@gmail.com so that Gene or Ray can answer it in contexts of how it will fit in the layout of the book. My opinion is that no, we will keep the portrait orientation of the page, the pano just has to comply with the 2100 pixels (7") length on the long side rule.
Xpan good
R-D1 good
saiseto said:
Yes, 2100 pixels on the long side.
Photoshop conversion from color to B&W is fine.

Hey, that's pretty good! Is this book still available?
And, since we are on the subject... in one of the three threads on the subject I've read so far there is mention of an isbn number.
Does anyone feel like taking on the task of getting this published for the rest of the world, and not just our coffee tables? Perhaps Abrams or another art book company, or maybe the photographers book people (is it Amherst? I forget the name) could pick up the reins after we're done and follow thru.
I did hear mention of distributing royalties. Send my check to me at... Seriously, and personally, I'm doing this not to make money as I know the book is for us. I assume everyone else feels the same (or else they wouldn't be offering their photos for a 'payment-free' endeavor). That said, perhaps any royalties could be donated to a charity, or a non-profit photo organization. That would solve that problem.
Is anyone in the publishing business? And, do the kind folk who started all this have objections (which, of course, should have been the first question asked. Apologies. I'm still working on morning coffee.)

Just checking in...
Ralph, there are no limits to what CAN be photographed/submitted?
Just want to make sure before someone (or me) submits something that may be deemed "inappropriate".
Any themes or is this wide open (other than "it has to be shot with a rangefinder camera")

Is portrait orientation a requirement or desirable?
Most of mine are landscape orientation? 🙁

The answer was to a question about shots taken with an XPan panoramic camera in which a landscape may end up something like 2100 pixels by 1000 pixels (or less) and would look quite small (for a pano). For normal 35mm shots, landscape is fine. Most of the images in book one are in landscape orientation.dmr said:

Yes, you can purchase a copy from Lulu: http://www.lulu.com/content/110604ducttape said:
The issue of ISBN came up for discussion in book one (I was the one who raised it), and the consensus was that because there's an additional cost involved, and it adds no compelling benefits for our publications, we decided against adding an ISBN.
Gene
Well not to be a weenie anti-freedom of speech person (wow I can't believe I actually am in a situation to talk about this), um, yes there is a limit.
I will take the easy way out on this one. Somewhere in the rules of RFF there are rules about what images are inappropriate to display in the gallery. Those are the same rules for the book.
I am sure everyone will use discretion and show good taste in their submissions. Otherwise, I may be the only person to see them. 😉
