Photos for the Adult Competition in Bracknell??

[eliza1]

Just out of curiosity -- has anyone been able to access the photos from the Bracknell Adult Competition or do they know when they will be posted on the photographer's website??

[twinkle]

The photos from the first few classes are up but nothing has been added there at all for at least the past week.

I know the photographer has been really busy but it's taking forever to get the photos up on the website. Some are up and it's the same for Basingstoke Open which was the day before Bracknell. Still only a few classes up for that too. I was hoping we'd have them up by now but I know this guy does a lot of photography for proms, weddings etc and I guess it's been a busy time of year. I keep checking though and I hope they appear really soon.

Anyone got a link to the website please.

[eliza1]

The web site is www.grahamtaylorphotography.co.uk. Thanks for your replies!!

Is it the same guy who ran IcePhoto or is that someone different?

Thanks Nicki, looks as though he's a very good photographer, lets hope we get some good ones for the BAC.

Annabel is that an inside to outside spiral I can see Rob doing?

Nicki can you give me the password too please. I wrote it on my hand last week but forgot to write it down when I got home and then washed it off!!!

Thanks Nicki, looks as though he's a very good photographer, lets hope we get some good ones for the BAC.

Annabel is that an inside to outside spiral I can see Rob doing?Don't think so - it is a good spiral, though. Such a pity that half the photos make him look as though he's going to be sick, and at least one shows up his bad habit of putting his head on one side like a parish worker admiring a new baby.

At least you got some good ones, I'm usually lucky if I get one that I wouldnt be ashamed to show anyone and the first one shows
Mrs Redboots looking on.

You're welcome.

To anyone else who requested the password I've sent you a pm. Still no more photos added to the website though. He's taking his time to get them up but he's a great photographer - have several of my daughter that he has taken and they are lovely, so hoping the wait will be worth it!

I think all the free skating pictures are now up in case noone had checked in a while.

They look really good (apart from mine - I am pulling bizarre faces in all of them and look like I'm doing some weird running man thing in one of them!)

[chantelly]

Love your dress kate! I want my photos! Or at least I will till I see them I don't think I was smiling! xx

[2loop2loop]

Ugh, I don't know why I bother looking, I'm always horrified. I have the worst hands ever! :roll:

John

[kateskate]

I am at a loss as to why I look like a goldfish. Why is my mouth open in the most unattractive fashion? I must do something about that.

[Mrs Redboots]

Ugh, I don't know why I bother looking, I'm always horrified. I have the worst hands ever! :roll:

JohnNa, my husband's are worse! But I don't know why I bother looking at mine..... why does my spiral invariably just look like I've got half-decent extension, for once.....

Maybe the dance ones will look better, if he ever bothers to put them up. Then again, maybe they won't.....

[samba]

Ugh, I don't know why I bother looking, I'm always horrified. I have the worst hands ever! :roll:

John

John, My hands are not great but I will swop them for your feet!!

[chantelly]

Some thing funny is going on with the site now?! Doesn't look good! xx

[samba]

Looks normal to me, what's happening when you use it?

[chantelly]

How odd it was saying something hideous like about the usa and terrorism etc as if it had been hacked then it is saying page not found now? But how can you see it and not me? very strange! xx

[Mrs Redboots]

I can't see it, either - I just get an error message. Which, of course, could be because he's in the throes of updating it..... Then again....

[chantelly]

It was saying really weird things earlierin english and turkish?!

[kateskate]

It was saying really weird things earlierin english and turkish?!

Argh I got that too! How strange. The address bar said 'Got Hacked?' aswell. Odd.

[2loop2loop]

John, My hands are not great but I will swop them for your feet!!

No you don't want those either. They may work ok on the ice but they are just the ugliest bumpiest skaters feet. You won't see me wearing flip flops any time soon. :P

John

Me either John, infact I dont think there are many regular skaters that would like to show off their feet, I remember when I broke my ankle, the surgeon came to see me the next day and said "about all these bumps on your feet", he looked at me blankley when I told him they were typical skaters feet.

[eliza1]

Gosh, there is something strange going on with that web site -- thought I would check it since some people were saying odd things were being displayed on the front page -- hopefully they realize it and can correct it or at least take the site down.

[Mrs Redboots]

It's fine today, and he's put the first two dance classes up - not, as yet, alas, the one with Kateskate, FRBSkate, Chantelly and the Husband in it, but the one with MTJ is there.

I still get the hacked front page if I use www.grahamtaylorphotography.co.uk (http://www.grahamtaylorphotography.co.uk) but seem to bypass it ok by using grahamtaylorphotography.co.uk (i.e. omitting the www. part of the address). Hopefully it won't be too long before the rest of day two appears now.

Mike

[Mrs Redboots]

I'm not getting the hacked front page at all, how weird. Nice photos of you, MTJ!

[jcookie1982]

Could you PM me the password please?

[Mrs Redboots]

Oh dear..... he's uploaded the photos of our free dance (and fortunately not our fall!) and what do I look like in that dress!

Either we skated appallingly badly (quite probable) or he can't take photographs! I know there were bits that went wrong, but really.....

Looking forward to seeing the photos of the compulsories when he gets round to them. None of the compulsory dance classes have been uploaded yet, alas. I just hope I look better in my black dress than I do in the red job!

ETA, still at least the others look nearly as bad - not a pointed toe among us. Nice photos of the winners, though - but then, they can be very graceful!

[VegasGirl]

Y'all make me curious too now... could I have the password as well or would that be too much of an intrusion?

[Mrs Redboots]

He's finally got all the photos up (only 2 months after the event!). I'm actually extremely pleased with the ones of our compulsory dances, although our free dance ones are horrible! There are one or two where you can see our lack of partnering skills, but equally one or two where you can see how they're definitely beginning to develop.

And the ones of Husband's solos are pretty dire, too - his arms and hands..... but he won't even see that when looking at the photo, and just comments on his posture (there are a couple where he's sticking his bum out).

But why do I have my mouth open in every single photo?

[chantelly]

But why do I have my mouth open in every single photo?

I'm either chewing my lip or grimacing in all of mine! Hideous! xx

But there are others, including international ones in France, Germany, Estonia and Russia (and many of the US adult competitions welcome international skaters, too). And the British Adult Championships is coming up, at the end of this month (help!!!!).

Where can we get entry forms?
Perhaps it would be a good I idea to put up a stucky thread with the links to all entry forms for the upcoming adult competitions.

Hi Olga,

I can forward an entry form if you send me a PM with your email address. I forgot to mention that this is an Ice Dance competition so it may not be of interest to you.

By the way, lovely photos from Bracknell and especially from Nottingham.

Oops, that's true!
Though learning ice dance is also on my list. Just not quite where yet.

MikeOoops, forgot Oxford! :oops: I'm afraid we won't make it this year, though.
