RAW (nef) from Nikon D5000 - 10.1 MB
If you have problems with NEF download, please read this post (it's #16 below)
DNG for ACR 2.4 and higher - 7.9 MB
Full size unprocessed jpg - 1.1 MB
What I do:
Depending how many entries depends how we vote, if 10 or less, I'll set up a poll (like Mini Comps), if more than 10, it will be the PM method (like the monthly competitions).
That's it for now, we'll see how it goes and can tweak the format or rules if we need to next time around. Any questions, just ask, I have refrained from trying to answer questions I think may arise because this first post will get too long.
Good luck all,
