August 2012 // Photo Contest // Pure

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions The deadline for entry is noon pacific on the 25th of this month.

We are having troubles with the uploading of images currently. We are working on getting the gallery fixed up. In the mean time this month, you can email me your submissions at Jeremy1026@gmail.com, just be sure to include your NAM username so I know who sent in what.

The photo contest is held to encourage people to take new photos with the topic in mind. As a result, please do not submit any photos taken before the contest topic was announced (see contest rules regarding EXIF data). Photos posted to this thread do not count. You must upload photos to the monthly photo contest gallery in order to be entered.

August's Photo Topic :: Pure

Interpret that how you will, keeping in mind that the photos must be MINI related and that only one photo per member per month may be submitted.

We would like to thank Xpel for sponsoring August's Photo Contest.

Please note: This is the last month that Xpel will be sponsoring the photo contest. So if you want to win some Xpel goodies, this is your last chance.

Any idea what this error message means when I try to upload a photo for the contest?

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 1

Command:

"/usr/bin/mogrify" +profile "*" -size 0x140 -quality 50 -geometry 0x140 '/usr/local/sites/nam/www/gallery/data/620/thumbs/IMG_123.JPG'

Looks like the upload code is trying to create a thumbnail image and is not getting it right. The 0x140 arguments looks unkosher.

I passed the error message on up to see if we can't get it fixed. In the mean time this month, you can email me your submissions at Jeremy1026@gmail.com, just be sure to include your NAM username so I know who sent in what.

Matt, I received your email and it uploaded properly.

Everyone else, if you'd like to try to upload by all means, if you'd rather just go with the emailed photo you sent thats fine too.
