Quoting "P.J. Alling" <webstertwenty...@gmail.com>:
No reflection on you Brian, you're work is highly appreciated, but
perhaps you should re-institute the open gallery portion of the PUG.
I didn't really have a long exposure image I thought was worthy, so
I didn't submit anything, but that doesn't seem to have stopped
everyone. This one
<http://pug.komkon.org/13sep/slides/JK-pentaxlongexpo.html>
violates the basic requirement of this month's theme. It's a pretty
picture but it ain't no long exposure,
Yeah. Of course it's not my role to decline to accept images unless
they violate "the rules". Whether an image conforms to the theme is a
matter for the photographer but, if I had taken more notice of the
Exif, I probably would have questioned this particular one.
As for the monthly Open Gallery, the problem is that it wasn't being
supported. Over the past couple of years, the number of Open Gallery
submissions rarely exceeded two, and more often it was one or none. I
think most people just prefer to submit non-themed images as PESOs.
Including the monthly Open Gallery complicates the gallery generation
process - not insurmountably, but enough to be tedious for so few
submissions. However, I'm intending to include an Open Gallery as one
of the "themes" for 2014.
Cheers
Brian

nor is it even a cleaver such as this
<http://pug.komkon.org/13sep/slides/RW-NewHampshire-8-13-27.html>
a photograph of the results of long exposure, damn, I wish I'd
thought of that.
It's a nice gallery though. I'm impressed by all of the images, even
the one that doesn't really belong.

G'day all
Another enjoyable gallery with some outstanding work.
Thrainn's 'Strips of green LEDS' is probably the most visually
stunning and innovative while Rick's 'On Main Street' provides a
different take on the theme.
As usual, you'll find the gallery here:
http://pug.komkon.org/
(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous
Gallery there).
Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's
not infallible. So, if you made a submission and you don't see it
in the gallery, let me know.
