I used to be very competitive and played sport at a fairly high level so I find it difficult to translate this into photography except in a sell/buy situation where you are competeing for a customer.

I really dont think that open theme competitions are useful unless you want to see other peoples work but I think displaying your photos can do this equally well.
I think that providing a brief or theme and shooting to that is more challenging.

I'm very competitive when it comes to singing, but I never played sports.

I think it would just be a fun way to display pictures and make people more driven to produce something good. Doesn't have to be a competition! Maybe just a themed event where people share photos and make comments to each other about them =]

Not trying to convince you. Just throwing ideas out there!

Where are we on the new photo gallery structure? That is the one thing that is not as good as the old site.

btw your wanted S2/D800 comparisons are on the Hassy thread here

The gallery upgrade is progressling slowly.
We cant get enhancements to the cheap one that we got for this forum so at present I am waiting for confirmation that the new proposed software for the gallery is suitable so we have single login and that the install can be carried out by our hosting company.

The new gallery will be PhotoPost Pro.
It is the best gallery that I can find that integrates with the forum.
I hope that we can get the purchas and install made in the next week or so.

Thanks for the S2 and D800 tests. Going to take a look after posting this.

Got my D800 on Wednesday but I am in UK so I have limited glass to test with. Like the camera controls it is definitely a step up from the D700 but not as solid as a D3.
