It took a few days...

Entering into 3rd community event took quite a bit longer than the first two. But this was kinda expected though, since the event in question is Drovers 1st Versatility Weekend at SFS forum - three separate days, 3+4+3 entry pics for each horse entered, went with 4+4+5 horses, so had 3x4+4x4+3x5=43 entry pics to do...

Setting things up for the photo shoot, taking the pics, choosing ones to use and then editing them before posting entries separately for each day kept me busy from Wednesday afternoon till late last night (or early today :P). While I didn't work 24/7 on the entries, getting them all sorted did take several hours, so hopefully the effort was worth it! Entries close tomorrow, so should find out how it goes next week. Fingers crossed! ;D

And because there's always someone who's curious, but perhaps little on the lazy side to look for the results of my efforts at SFS, just use read more for easy way out. ;)


Setting things up for the screencap taking included finishing "Dequine Horse Park", since the covered arena side wasn't really what I was going for with the setting. So did little building and landscaping, before teleporting entrants to the location and started with actual photo shoot.

Then it was off to setting up all individual entries, while 43 pics was necessary, you always need a few different pics to choose the actual entry pic from, so when headed to editing phase had taken total of well over 100 screencaps. Editing happened on entry day basis, so first chose Friday's pics, edited them and then posted entries. Naturally next this happened with Saturday and then Sunday.

And there we are, 43 entry pics & hours of work. Now it's into the art of waiting, hoping that all the effort wasn't for nothing...
