This is probably some of the most exciting news I have had for a long time and it involves all of you! More details soon.You’re not going to want to miss this announcement!
What Merv said and yes if it was the boat itself, quite a helluva comp
True North Trip prize could be the Rottnest trip next year. 2nd prize, runner up gets a printer (that will only print crooked horizons and 3rd prize, ya get the new Canon 5D Mk III coffee maker !!!!!
Ok, this for the win. Your going to use the gigapan to take a huge advertising image of True North in Sydney Harbour and print it out in individual shots on a 3880 printer then post it onto the Opera House and we’re not going to win anything.
the suspense is getting too much, you going to put us out of our misery some time soon? or going to wait til you have the million hits up before revealing?
1)
After a long battle of who can produce the most blog posts Christian Fletcher and True North Mark have teamed up. On board True North Christian and Mark armed with a gigapan panohead and a printer will not only be capturing and shooting the world Goggle Street view style but also blogging about once every minute – and printing out these blog posts to hand out to anyone along the way ensuring total world domination.

All of Christian Fletcher’s blog punters are invited to a very special Blog People and True North appreciation day. Sitting in the True North tender boat with the real True North and a huge printout of Sydney harbour as background, you will have Christian Fletcher capture you using a gigapan panohead. Purchase your special signed printout at the end of the day for a mere couple of thousands. You can’t really put a price on memories like this.
LOL there Bo…you have a very inventive mind and if there was to be a prize for the most out there guess at this post I am sure you would be the winner…but alas no…you are still not on the money either!!!
I think they represent the next course presenters. The True North is a big luxurious adventure machine – that represents Mark Stothard. This printer is the pinnacle of colour rendition and gamut accuracy – that represents Les Walkling. The Gigapan fires off shots in all directions while making little whining noises – nah, goin’ nowhere with that logic ……..
We’re all going to Sydney on the True North where Mark (cos he’s the ‘brave one’) will carry the gigapan up to the top of the harbour bridge to shoot off hundreds of images which Christian will print off on Epson…piece by piece (cos he’s the sensible one – I was gonna write wuss but that seems a bit harsh ) and the rest of us have to stick the big jigsaw together
it involves the true north..and im guessing all the bloggers will be on it in jan when it is in perth for its annual spruse-up, and the gigapan will be used to take a shot off all the bloggers on board sipping on coronas, and then the printer will print everyone a nice shiny copy to take home and hang on their wall…….
am i right, am i right?
either that or we are all enetering a photo competition and 1st gets a trip on the true north in sydney for new years eve, second prize gets a printer, and third gets a gigapan……..
The idea of a comp was mooted last year if I do remember correctly…… I think its that…. the prize last year was going to be a trip on True North in Sydney over either New Years or Boxing day….. If you dont win, I got a big boat, maybe we can tie off on True North and just duck aboard to eat their food ?
Just think Christian is sitting back watching everyone post comments and having a chuckle to himself, and making everyone sweat it out! He’s loving it!!
I sent him a text Kym telling him it was time to put everyone out of their misery but we are still sitting here with ‘worms on our tongues’…baited breath’!
A big printer, a big picture and a big boat, sounds like fun to me. cant wait to here what it is
Dan
1st prize …. True North
2nd prize ….. Printer
3rd Prize ….. Gigapan
True North trip that is , hell of a comp. if the boat was 1st prize
What Merv said and yes if it was the boat itself, quite a helluva comp
True North Trip prize could be the Rottnest trip next year. 2nd prize, runner up gets a printer (that will only print crooked horizons
and 3rd prize, ya get the new Canon 5D Mk III coffee maker !!!!!
i will be out for 4 nights so hold off on the announcement! haha
LOL @ Merv clarifying that a trip aboard true north and not the boat itself…
Cool prizes guys !
You are all close boys but not quite on the mark yet!!!
The photo tells the story, so look more carefully!
Ok, this for the win. Your going to use the gigapan to take a huge advertising image of True North in Sydney Harbour and print it out in individual shots on a 3880 printer then post it onto the Opera House and we’re not going to win anything.
Am I close ????
You were closer last time Merv….but that is a funny concept!
Bugger !!!
I get a pay rise??
Nice try Kym…but I am thinking that is very wishful thinking!
Cant be sure what they have in common… but your pretty good at creating suspense!
…things I would sell my second-born child for?
the suspense is getting too much, you going to put us out of our misery some time soon? or going to wait til you have the million hits up before revealing?
Ehmm…here’s a few shots:

Can’t believe I wasn’t spot on …
Well, back to the drawing board for me, thinking up new scenarios.
Yes Mark, very wishful thinking for a pay rise! I suppose a free trip on the True North is asking too much too!!
You must be smokin’ some good drugs in the Gallery today Kym!!!
Never hurts to dream I spose!

Muzz … I think you’ve nailed it, got it all to a tee.
One question for you ….. can you tell me, how I can get as much spare time to work these things out like you do !!!!
Do you think it out while massaging a buttock !!!!!!!
Merv I make it a rule never to think at work. As far as time goes, when you’ve got plenty of RAM, things don’t take as long to process
Not quite there Muzz…but interesting train of thought for sure!
This post has really got you guys thinking outside the box eh!:)
Muzz…you’re hilarious
We’re all going to Sydney on the True North where Mark (cos he’s the ‘brave one’) will carry the gigapan up to the top of the harbour bridge to shoot off hundreds of images which Christian will print off on Epson…piece by piece (cos he’s the sensible one – I was gonna write wuss but that seems a bit harsh

Sandy you could be onto something.
Marks going to shoot from the top of the Bridge and base jump onto the deck of True North maybe.
This is going to be BIG !!!!
With the amount of RAW wit out there maybe we should start a reality show called ‘Master Photographer’!:)
…and no that’s not the answer!!!:)
it involves the true north..and im guessing all the bloggers will be on it in jan when it is in perth for its annual spruse-up, and the gigapan will be used to take a shot off all the bloggers on board sipping on coronas, and then the printer will print everyone a nice shiny copy to take home and hang on their wall…….
am i right, am i right?
either that or we are all enetering a photo competition and 1st gets a trip on the true north in sydney for new years eve, second prize gets a printer, and third gets a gigapan……..
Not even warm I would say there Matt!!!
Keep trying troops!
If he’s not slightly warm with that one Mark then I give up !!
or one lucky prick gets the whole lot!!
Getting colder Matt!
Sorry Matt, I missed one of your posts…you are very warm on the photo comp comment!
Christian can spell out the rest!!
cold to very warm, i like it..although my first idea sounded pretty fun!
Indeed!
The idea of a comp was mooted last year if I do remember correctly…… I think its that…. the prize last year was going to be a trip on True North in Sydney over either New Years or Boxing day….. If you dont win, I got a big boat, maybe we can tie off on True North and just duck aboard to eat their food ?
Markie, am I close ?
photo comp would make sense…
I got it, I figured it out…they’re all three jpeg images!! …what did I win ? ;D
Very funny Bo….and in essence I guess you are 100% correct, but Matt is pretty close to the real mark!
I am sure Christian will put you all out of your misery soon enough!
Just think Christian is sitting back watching everyone post comments and having a chuckle to himself, and making everyone sweat it out! He’s loving it!!
I sent him a text Kym telling him it was time to put everyone out of their misery but we are still sitting here with ‘worms on our tongues’…baited breath’!
Perhaps this post is actually the contest. Coming up with the funniest story based on those 3 images.
Btw someone mentioned thinking outside the box…there is no box nor is there any spoon.
That is not the comp Bo, but I like the concept and might pursue it down the track!
If there’s a prize for guessing this then you had all better go back to the second and third post.
I rest my case.
PS Kym are you getting overtime ????
Haha all good replys but it is the weekend, I’ll tell you next week………… maybe!!
Yeah good idea …. anyway La Tour Da France is on, so I’m gone .. bye bye.
Oh you’re a cruel bugger CF….you have them on the edge of their seats now!
Got no idea, my damn computer wont let me see the 3 images!!! GRRRRRR But what ever it is, Im sure its great!! lol
my guess is that your taking the gigapan on the tru north somewhere, your gonna make a huge file and then print it out mega big ?? lol
Either Fletch has blown all his life savings on a new boat, printer and oversized pocket protractor, or THE FLETCH AWARDS 2010 ARE UPCOMING!!
Just what I thought, probably just cracked 100,000 hits over the weekend dangling the carrot…
hehe fellas, ok I’ll post up the big news today!
