It's a little less time than the last round, so budget accordingly....

Looking forward to your interpretations of a most interesting theme....

A reminder that this is the last UWOL Challenge for 2007. The contest will resume Feb. 1, 2008 which will allow the shooters to get out there and shoot something in entirely different months and even different seasons than they did this year.

I'm in again...

I'm along for the ride again ;-)

Count me in. I'll try to avoid the sharks this time :(

Count me in of course!
Can't wait to get started again.

OK, I am in this one. Bob Safay

I'm looking for a Tee Shirt, so sign me up !

I'm in again, and school permitting, so is Robin.

I'm looking for a Tee Shirt, so sign me up !

They sell them at Wal-Mart.

I like the one that says...

"I've gone to find myself.
If I should return before I get back...
Please keep me here until I come back."

---or---

"Don't let your mind wander...

It's too little to be let out by itself."

---or---

"Have you seen them?

Did you see which way they went?

I must find them...I am their leader."

....Oh...You must mean the UWOL tee shirt.

I hadda do it...Sorry.

so bruce...i gotta ask, are you signing up? or just needling chris??

why does UWOL sometimes feel like thanksgiving dinner with my extended family??

glad to see bob, grant, and rob back...we missed you guys.

I'm in.

Dang. Can't say just "I'm in".

Just got a dialog box that says my message is too short. Must be at least 10 characters.

I'm in...

My A1U is back. I'm in.

I'm in too! Kevin and Gabe, jumping in? And I DON'T mean the shark tank!

Cat

Put me on the list. It's hard to believe the year has passed so quickly...damn it's been fun.

Brian

Why not ?

I'm waiting for the subject ?


Gilles

I'm in.
Just hope I can make it as I'm working many hours each day (and night) in my new job. But I just have to get my hands on one of those T-shirts :)

Geir Inge

I'm in:
A.) UWOL #6
B.) Shark Tank
C.) ALL The Above.

Hopefully it's gonna be "A" this time!

Gonna be a long dry spell till February so I better get on this one!

you can rest later, geir...

gilles, the theme will be announced November 1. this gives a week for everyone to see the sign-up thread and sign up. we end the sign-ups before we announce the theme. that's the Challenge....

Count me in. Win or lose, I always learn lots.

Can't quit now so count me in.

Gordon Hoffman

I'm in for this one too. Should have time to spare in November too.

UWOL time again...terrific!
Count me in.

I may be in. First to find some more info on this....

I figure I should just sit quietly and watch what you lot come up with but I'm going to try again - make it a marine theme - I'm still wet from being in the tank!

Wow, this is unreal! I've been hanging out for this challenge, i missed out on the sign up for the last challenge by a couple of days. That was when i first discovered this contest, & ever since i've been inspired by all of your work. Hope i can submit something that comes close to the quality i've seen so far!

Bryce.

After signing up for the last one I was unable to find anything worth filming.

Hope I have better luck this time.

Both my cameras need to go out on repairs but can still shoot, so they are going to wait until the uwol 6 is over.

I will go for it, may have to use the old digital 8, but Who Cares!

that's the mustard, dale! way to go...work that old technology!

and a note to daniel: "i may be in" is not a category! this is the sign-up thread, not the wishy-washy thread. in or out?

cavorting in the wilder-wild and sharing the results with friends from all over the world or sitting at home on the couch eating potato chips and watching Animal Planet....which is it?

Geir,

I hear you about the new job!! I am in a new position and have to commute too!! I haven't even had time to rake up the leaves in the yard this fall!!! I think everything except uwol 6 will have to wait till spring!!!
take an afternoon and give yourself a break, shoot video, eh?

Go on then, count me in!
I do hope I can find the time with work, but I definately need to get out and do something, my kit has been wasting away lately.

Cont me in to,on deep wahter or not!!??


Best Regards

Hi Dale and Meryem.
And I hear you about the autumn leaves Dale. Great that we're not alone in this world :)
It's 23.50pm over here and I'm at work. Started 19.00pm and will be home tomorrow at 8.30am. These 4 weeks I've had an average sleep of 4.5 h day/night, and tomorrow is my first day off. I'm gonna sleep the whole day through. I'm having fun though, stillI've got some great "pillows" underneath my eyes so I better not narrate in front of camera this time :)
I'm gonna find me a team leader in about two weeks then I'll get a more relaxing time on job.
Uwol#6 will be like salvation for me, and soon it'll be Christmas and my wish this year is a brand new T-shirt :)

All the best
Geir Inge

Hmmmmmm ..... Looks like the ladies are a bit under-represented. Meryem, I hope you will be able to contribute this round, we need to balance out all of these guys!

Cat

perhaps i should take pity on dale and geir and make the theme AUTUMN LEAVES. then they can rake their yards and shoot video at the same time.

nope. this is a Challenge, and i'm keeping it that way! mwahahahahaha.

i am most definitely putting something up this round! i'm intrigued by my own theme!

Does that mean I should go ahead and start my Shark Tank thread now? :)

Me me me me me me... Pick me!...
Now I got a long distanse lens as well... the old ef 50-200/3.5-4.5 L.

Markus Nord

Kevin, it's a bit early to prepair the shark tank yet, don't you think. Besides, the sharks got way too much company last round. They don't need anything until next year!!
I'm sure you will come up with a great video this time! :)

Nice to see we got some new people joining our friendship this round.
But where is young Gabriel hiding? Can't see he's signed up yet.

Hmm, maybe the theme will be "exhausted". naw, would make Dale and Geir instant winners, haha. Don't work too hard guys, you need to have some time for uwol!

Sign me up for UWOL #6 please

Now there have been, Skies and Recreation, The Wild, Water, and Mammals…… I wonder what could be next, what ever it may be, it‘ll be good to get out and do some.

Meryem what a wonderful idea.....my so called friend. For me to film a tree or leaf I have to travel 1000 miles due south.....and I thought we were family. I guess I'm the unloved one. LOL

If I can work the next theme I'm going to surprise everyone by showing snow. I know, I know I've never done that before so I thought I'd surprize everyone. LOL

We had our first real snow storm yesterday soooo no need to carry a white balance card anymore.

Looking forward to the theme.

Brian

Sign me up please
Hot as hell summer here with a bit of rain now and again.As long as the theme has nothing to do with snow I should be ok.

I'm very happy that I'm just in the middle of you two - Brian and John Dennis ;-)

can i just say how much i love running an outdoors contest that has to find a theme that can be worked out by both brian in the arctic and john in south africa?? and per, in between...

that is so freaking COOL, you guys, to have the world at our desktop, present and playing....

the good news is, that i'm going for a theme that's sure to piss everyone off, all around the world! that way, i know i'm doing a good job.

they don't call this a Challenge for nothing!

i think i need to start a "Tales of Wonder and Woe" thread right now, before we even post the theme, so that i can weed out all of the idle chit-chat from the actual signer-uppers...(of course, i'm the most guilty party of all, when it comes to idle chatter, mea culpa, mea culpa...)

Is this when we are supposed to start worrying? ;)

Meryem, you sure know how to make us look forward to November 1st.
Once more you will bring on a great theme and a real challenge for all of us.

Hmmmm

Excuse
One Camera is broken
Two Busy at work
Three I have the flu
Four I told my wife I'd quit after challenge #5

Come on guys help me out here will ya....she's killing us :)

Brian

I would like to join in on the last theme. I will not be competing for the prize because of my insider knowledge. But I look forward to being one of the cool participants.

Yikes! I think the most challenging part about this challenge is enduring the buildup and suspense concerning this last theme of the year.

Meryem, what ARE you up to? Any hints? How about .... it rhymes with ...

Cato

Meryem, what ARE you up to? Any hints? How about .... it rhymes with ...

Sounds like someone is desperately trying to get a clue about the theme, eh?
Well, that makes 2 of us, hahaha. Twisting my brain, not a clue so far.

Yeah, she's scaring the crap out of us and then the theme will be something like "clouds."

That's ok, I have some snazzy new swimmin trunks so I'm all set to take a dive if I have to. :)

I'm assuming Meryem will be out of contact on 11/1 so she won't have to listen to all of us complain? :)

Hey, has young Gab signed on yet?

Not yet. Haven't seen much of him.
