Have a read of the blog on the photo5 website http://community.canon.com.au/blogs/eos/ar...lties.aspx#1274 Everyone has been asking what will happen with those who couldnt upload and the only response has been the one below. Lauren said: Hi everyone, Thanks for your messages. We are still trying to figure out what went wrong and as soon as we know we will post on the blog. We'll also let you know what it means for people who were unable to upload their images. Sorry again guys! Nov 02 2009, 11:27 AM

Bout bloody time!! Turns out it wasnt you after all :D

Sure :D Click on the photo you want in flickr. In the list above it click 'all sizes' Select medium. Copy the URL below the photo. Go back into dol and in the message box click the box above that looks like a landscape. Paste the URL in there. Let me know if that doesnt make sense!

Im so happy we are doing portraits! This was the next style I wanted to get better at. This is my portraiture entry for the canon photo5 comp. I called it 'Tax Time' :D

Love it! Thats a great idea! You should do it anyway.

Thankyou!! :D Had lots of fun with these. So glad I entered this. Definately made me think outside the square

Wow cool shots. Ravyk your snake shots are unreal!! Is it your snake? Ash your labour shot is beautiful. Love the kitty kat Shell. Heres my 5 - Close Up 100's and 1000's- Bokeh - Practically Black - (ran out of time so used one I had already taken) Glasses - Splat - This was a bit rushed and done at 5pm last night. I really wanted to enter all 5 so had to do something! I ran liquid chocolate through a strainer

Grrrrr!! This is so frustrating! I have emailed so hopefully all will be ok

I imagine quite a lot of people will be uploading them today being the last day. I have uploaded them as I did them but some people might not want their ideas nicked. Surely they will have to extend the date it if they dont fix it today.

Same. I have one left but wondering if theres a point. I went on the websites blog and someone else had written that they had the same problem. They were told to email the support email their details. Nothing else has been said ??? very frustrating.

:D Man, I just tried again and no luck. Anyone else had any joy? This photo took me so long to do, I will be furious if it doesnt work!

Im so so sorry nickojoy :D

I cant believe you broke it

Fingers crossed. They have to sort something out. Imagine how many people are going to upload today. Lots of peed off people if its not fixed. (and good luck with your exams!!)

Noooooooo..! I still have 2 more left! Anyone had any luck?

Hes beautiful. Great detail with the water droplets and bokeh. and who says you can just give advice!?

How gorgeous!! Lovin the hairdo in photo no4

I thought about you asking if they subjects were both the same distance away from the lense. Turns out they werent. I have now lined them up properly and its working! Thankyou! I also tried your suggestion with my 'kissy couple'. The street light idea didnt turn out how we imagined but I did get a much better result. Will post them all of them up when ive finished. Just got the 'Splat' brief left to do!

Hey I have to give the camerea back by lunch time. Can you believe the bloody battery is about to go!! he didnt put a charger in the bag. Arghhh! Ill try smaller aperture. This camera is so different to mine. Both subjects are the same distance away. Thanks!

Hey guys, I have borrowed a camera from someone as I needed a macro lense and they had one I could borrow. Their camera is Nikon, mine is Canon, long story short they gave the the whole thing! Anyhoo... having never shot with a macro lense (or a Nikon!) im having some problems. Im trying to shoot a pic with 2 small subjects in it. They are only about 2 cm apart but I cant get them both in focus. One is about 3cm higher than the other. Sorry im rambling! Im trying to get this sorted before I loose the light of the day! Any suggestions!?

Definately one where they play together. There is a quieter end if you prefer not to though.

Yep, total enclosed. The only place for them to go is out to sea There is a fence that runs all the way along the path with a gate at each end. Not the best map but will give you the general idea. If you park at the Brighton baths, face the water and look to your right. You will see/hear all the dogs! http://www.bayside.vic.gov.au/animals_brighton_beach.htm This one will give you an idea of how its enclosed http://wikimapia.org/12301478/Brighton-Dog-Beach

We are there every weekend! Ill have to keep an eye out for you lot Ill be the one with the blue stafford that just stole your ball

Wow Charm is just so gorgeous!! Love her markings
