Ricoh Around the Globe - photos and details

[Nevin]

Although I tend to think that participants should be allowed to pick 2 photos from their set of five, to make things easier, Pavel's option (1) is a better idea.

Thank you again, Pavel.

Perhaps, I should add this from my 2009 summary letter that I sent to relatives and friends:

After we had received two large, unexpected parcels with electronics for Astrid's [my wife] father (caused by transposed digits – it was not the first time that we encountered this issue...), an unexpected parcel from Holland arrived. When I opened it, Astrid covered her ears, fearing an explosion. Out came a Ricoh R10 camera! Then I recollected that I had applied for participating in the "Ricoh Around the Globe" campaign. I quickly took more than 450 photos – only five of these should be left on the camera’s storage card [now only two will enter the competition]. Unfortunately, the lens was defective. After having exchanged several e-mails, I sent the R10 to repair, too, instead of to Italy.

Perhaps, we should create an R10-around-the globe diary on this site (there is one on paper, but it's a little long...).

Hi Genster,

This is best summed up by saying the travels of the R10 have finished, the R10 has returned to Pavel - just have a look at the earlier posts in this thread, but the adventure not quite over as we have to vote on the images taken - I am sure all members will get a vote so please have go when the voting goes up.

Not stupid question at all. The R10 route is done. The "only" remaining thing is a photo contest. Most unfortunately, I can't find time to put the things together, which is a real shame 4 months after the camera arrival. As you probably noticed, I'm not very active at forum in these days. Too many things happened since the camera arrival and some of them still keep me busy. I will try to finish this route as soon as possible.

Thanks Tim and Pavel.
It's too bad I did not discovered the Ricoh Forum earlier
I am waiting calmly on the photo contest

[Nevin]

Pavel, take your time. We can all wait, can't we? Thank you again!
