Needed a Camera Settings Challenge host

June 19th, 2012
H E L P P L E A S E!

We would like to have a new Camera Settings Challenge and we don't have a host.
The purpose of these challenges for 1) those who have previously had point n shoots to know learn the camera settings for their DSLR and stop using "auto".
2) those who may know some settings to expand their camera settings knowledge.

Link to format: http://365project.org/myhrhelper/365/2011-12-12
What to do:
1)Post the challenge - Challenge lasts 4 1/2 days
2)Answer questions or help with feedback as you are able
3)between 4 1/2 to 5 days post top pic's from challenge for a vote
24 hour voting only
4)post winner
winner has 24 hours to select new host


**** ALSO:
I would like a list of people who are willing to host future camera settings challenge - they would be assigned to a specific challenge #. they would need to watch for the winner announcement of the previous challenge.

camera setting challenge 9

I'd be happy to host one of these challenges, but unfortunately I'm away from the end of this week for a couple of weeks, so would not be able to host a challenge until after I get back.

@abirkill Should we have you host challenge number 10?
You would want to keep your eyes open once the "camera settings challenge 9 vote" is posted. We try to let the winner select a host if they have one and if they can't find one within 24 hours than the back-up would post the new challenge. Do you think we could plan for you to host challenge 10 (as backup)?

@pocketmouse @_amyd_ @lstasel @snipsnap @wenbow @la_photographic @mikehamm @hehe1308 @saranna @losthorizon @kiwichick @traeumerlein87 @debrac @petaqui @pschtyckque @swilde @spiralgrooves @jsw0109 @onie @tigerdreamer @traeumerlein87 @monika64 @monika64 @janmaki @grizzlysghost @shirljess @jml0306 @judithg @elke @agima

Are any of you able to host a challenge? Or do you know someone who might be able to? Do any of you have any ideas? If you hosted in the past you can host a new challenge. Maybe you can suggest someone.
First one to agree gets it.

@myhrhelper Yes, that's absolutely fine -- I'm happy to act as a primary or backup host for any challenge starting after around the 12th July, so if nobody needs me for number 10, feel free to assign me for a later challenge.
June 20th, 2012
@abirkill excellent! do you know someone who can host challenge 7?
June 20th, 2012
@myhrhelper Kathy, I am sorry I can't do this one. I will be out of town at a graduation/ family reunion for the next week. I am happy to help for a future challenge.
June 20th, 2012
I think @amyhughes said she wanted to? :)
June 20th, 2012
@pocketmouse Did she? That would be wonderful! How can we confirm this?
@amyhughes Do you want to do the next challenge?
June 20th, 2012
I thought that Gary had taken on the task. Anyway, I am certainly not of an experience level to host, sorry.
June 20th, 2012
@debrac Gary said he would but then it sounded to me like he wasn't going to. I don't think he was serious about doing it at this time, perhaps in the future.
June 20th, 2012
I've never hosted, or even participated in a contest here. But I'll happily observe and learn what I can for a future one.
June 20th, 2012
@myhrhelper Kathy, I'm a bit inexperienced still, but would like to help out. Right now, I'm will most likely resemble a zombie for the next 2 weeks due to work. But after that I should be able to host if you need someone.
June 20th, 2012
@losthorizon great we'll keep you in mind for future challenges.
June 20th, 2012
@peterdegraaff Peter seems to be back in town. I don't know if that means he is available though.
June 20th, 2012
@myhrhelper It might be good to get someone to host CSC-7 for next week as this week is half over.
June 20th, 2012
I agree with John @chapjohn to leave it for a week while we look for a host. I don't feel experienced enough to do it, sorry. A few people I follow who I think take wonderful photos are @beachradish, @robinwarner and @aspada. I don't know whether any of them would be willing to host at some point?
June 20th, 2012
@hehe1308 Just FYI, the replies only work if you type @name with a space after it :)

@beachradish @robinwarner @aspada
June 20th, 2012
I would be inexperienced myself so would be unable to help out.
June 20th, 2012
@myhrhelper Happy to help but I'm in and out until about 20th July and then would need a memory jog
June 20th, 2012
I am happy to help out but this week and next are not really good for me as I have a major photo shoot coming up that will consume all my time for the next week and a half.
June 20th, 2012
@djepie Jaap Meijer has agreed to host the next camera settings challenge!
Yeah!!!
He is preparing the challenge now and will post it once he sees this message (time zone differences)
