• Hi, there’s no video – not when looking from a Mac anyway….

• Hi Rob,
  Thanks for the heads up – the video wasn’t in the post. You should be able to view it now though.

• I can see the video now, but when I try and play it I get an “Ooops, something broke” message – I get this with some of the videos that get posted on here, but not all of them (I could see the previous one in this series for example).
  Is this a mac thing or is there something else at work…?

• Working fine on my PC (one up for the ‘dark side’ Rob!!)

• Hmmm, I’m using a Mac and it seems to play okay. Are you using an up-to-date browser? These videos are now being embedded as html5 videos instead of Flash-based videos, so older browsers (and Internet Explorer) might struggle. To prevent this post from turning into a tech-based discussion, could you please email me at paulvincent[at]oca-uk[dot com] with your browser info Rob?
  Many thanks,
  Paul

• The video worked for me. It’s a HD video so a bit stuttery on a slow connection. It’s quite an interesting video, and Foto8 (which is where the ‘people’s choice’ link takes you to) looks intriguing.

• Hmmm! Interesting. I generally ignore ‘people’s choice’ competitions because my experience on forums suggests that the predictable wide angle landscape with super-saturated colours and no stroy usually come out top – but this is clearly not in that mould. Perhaps the visitors to the gallery are a bit more fine-arty types

• To the people’s choice mentioned by n. moncton of wide angle landscape I’d add Baby pictures. But i would add a further category of competition which is really trying to capture as many entrants capture their details and then flood them with spam.
