ANR online bidding question

Barry

Is it correct that there is no closing time (like the day before the live auction) to bid online in ANR's auctions?

Hi Barry:

Time to register is quickly running out, but once you are registered bids can be accepted up to the time the hammer falls.

Those who haven't registered need to do so pronto.

Barry

Thanks John. Already registered.

We also had a moment of clarity here amidst the auction excitement!

We've told people in the past (I've even posted here) that you can't bid, live or presale, from a Mac.
Turns out you CAN, you just have to use a program other than Explorer. A client today had success with Safari, and I have used Netscape in the past when Explorer won't work on a site for me at home (I'm a Mac-er myself).

Hooray!

Jenna,
Maybe one of these days you'll wise up and get a real computer

I just finished a Photoshop course at the local Community College and the instructor, who in the real world is a graphic designer in the publications department of a University, uses a Mac too. She also refuses to use a digital camera. She'll take real photos then scan them in. Something about the colors not being accurate with a digicam, but not that something I, as a mere mortal, would appreciate

At home we (my graphic designer hubby) and I have a G4, an old iMac, and at work he has a G5 and I have a G4 iMac. When you're a photographer, a designer, or clever (hee hee) you have a Mac! Seriously, though, once you "mac" you never go back. I love them. My PC (a brand new Dell Pentium 4 here at the office) is clunky and outdated by comparison to my G4. And certainly slower.

I, as a photographer, also will not use digital. I have a digital, which is fine for eBay things, but when I shoot I use a Nikon F5, with Nikkor lenses and an SB28 and I can't forsee changing, EVER. I love having my negs in a three ring binder, I love my prints, and when I need to change a photo up, add effects, convert to B+W and then hand color, etc, I scan at a high res, fix in Photoshop, and burn to CD to print out at my local photo lab. I have a huge fear of damaged CDs and no negs to back them up, what can I say. I have three copies of any work I do (weddings, portraits): print, negative, and scan. I'm covered!

At work we use a Nikon D1X, which is roughly equivalent to my F5. I think we do a fine and dandy job with shooting coins, and I know several digital-only pro photographers. But there's something immensley satisfying in picking up a roll of senior pictures, and the pro at the photo lab I use says that he didn't have to do any color or density corrections to my work. And I hold up my negatives and in fact, they are perfect. I love those rolls.

Skin tones are something digital is close to achieving, but subtleties, to me, unless you are using a whole studio set up and lots of touch ups, are lacking. I'll stick to film!
