Why, cutting onions does often lead to weeping. Some might interpret this reaction as emotional!"

"By Jove, Holmes, you're right. And what a great photo!"

Rather liking that entry Brocksta sir - made me laugh

McDaniel · 13 Jul 2006 at 13:35

haha AdWright, brilliant reply (though you mispelt Sherlock in the first instance)

TerraS · 13 Jul 2006 at 15:38

Now everyone has a placeholder?
WTF!

mrk · 13 Jul 2006 at 15:44

Placeholders are the new myspace!

philio16 · 13 Jul 2006 at 15:49

It's official......ducks will not smile for you

They do however make good tests for my new lens

Invested in a Canon 50mm 1.8 this morning!

Call me stupid buts whats with all the place holders with no pics

Cybermyk · 13 Jul 2006 at 17:32

Empty place holders should be banned, it's as bad as spam tbh

danza · 13 Jul 2006 at 17:37

What matters about the placeholders with no image?

It just gives me at least the incentive to get my arse in gear and actually take a picture to put in there!

Cybermyk · 13 Jul 2006 at 17:43

Placeholder

It's totally pointless.

What the hell's the point of a placeholder anyway? If it's not your true effort, it shouldn't be entered. You don't get a better mark just because you're higher up the thread :confused:

Yeah, personally i don't look at the entries until i judge them.

Well fair enough, iyo.

It's a means of me disallowing myself copping out due to lack of ideas. If I put up a placeholder, I WILL be motivaed to make an effort.

I didn't even consider the fact that being nearer the top of the thread would lead to higher marks, that's plain stupid. Of course it doesn't.

Now someone else has used a similar idea to mine, I think I'll have to really get cracking.

cyKey · 13 Jul 2006 at 19:50

I've been entering since day 1 and never felt the need to use a placeholder. I may put up a picture that I think is valid and then change it later on if I get something better though.

danza · 13 Jul 2006 at 19:53

Posted an idea, a draft if you like.

I will almost certainly shoot it again, not really happy with any of it. It was my initial idea, but I have some more knocking around.

wez130 · 13 Jul 2006 at 21:29

i can understand a placeholder with a pic there just incase you don't get chance to re shoot, but a box saying 'placeholder' is completely, and utterly a waste of time, and did i mention - annoying?

DannyDan · 13 Jul 2006 at 21:33

Posting a placeholder seems quite counter-productive to me - when you post your final piece the thread doesn't show as having new posts so you're less likely to get feedback on it in the discussion thread.
