The Dear Leader has been talking to a Canadian photographer member who has been asked for a book cover photograph. He wants to see if the rest of us can help, and he tells us it’s a well paid job — the successful photographer will receive something in the region of £500 / €750 / $1000, even after our friend takes his commission.This request is a cover image in the "noir" style such as the one on the cover of "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr. (You can see this cover by searching on an online bookshop. Do NOT copy this image slavishly). What he requires for this murder mystery is a timeless image that has the feeling of early 1900s urban England, that is, somewhat spooky — such as a man under a lamplight at night on a cobblestone street, with some of the skyline or cityscape at dusk. “Tough enough,” he asks? Yes, but “it pays enough to go around.” He wants something that is demanding, moody, dark and thematically challenging. Upload data: 1. DEADLINE: Wednesday 20th June 2007; 10:00 GMT 2. FILESIZE: 300dpi minimum; colour / b&w; PORTRAIT; preferred dimension 3507 x 2481 pixels 3.

Hi Members,Our friends at the wildlife magazine are now looking for images of Southern Ground Hornbills. These are remarkable looking African birds and the interesting thing is that they feed/hunt/live in groups and it’s those group shots they are struggling to find.Specifically they need:- group shots- nesting- feeding- chicks- fighting/hunting/flyingTheir wild status is essential, so I am afraid images taken in captivity will not be considered.Upload data:1. DEADLINE: Monday 11th June 2007; 12:00 noon GMT 2. FILESIZE: 300dpi minimum; colour; preferred dimension 2480 x 1750 pixels3.

Please photograph it against a white background, and remember to adjust for white balance (there’s a pun in there somewhere).Upload data:1. DEADLINE: Friday June 8th 2007; 10:00 GMT2.

This has led to them hitting our servers as often as possible to catch up. We are installing new servers and storage to cope with the demand.This massive volume of automated enquiries really slows things down — Googlebot alone used up 7.8 GB of our bandwidth yesterday. We have temporarily banned search engine crawlers from some areas of the site, to speed things up.Another reason is simply the large number of concurrent uploads. The sophisticated fotoLibra system handles one upload at a time, and normally it's so fast that people don’t think about it. When lots of people try to categorise images simultaneously, a queue forms and everything seems to slow down.All this is in addition to the current transfer of all 200,000+ images in our database to a new storage facility in Manchester, prior to the installation of the new servers. This is using up a massive amount of our bandwidth. Not perfect timing, but we are beholden to server farms and timetables.We started this transfer on Friday evening, 18th May. It’s been running 24 hours out of 24 and so far (May 22nd) just over 6% of the assets has been copied over. It will get better shortly, and everything will be very much faster when the new servers are installed. We apologise and hope to have the system even better than normal very soon. Please bear with us. [/quote]As of today, June 1st, the transfer of assets is nearly complete. When someone tells you you’re on a 100mbps pipe, this is how you prove them wrong.Kind regards,Jacqui
