Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Crackle]

Right. Phew, I thought the cute Chaffinch might fly away with it but luckily a loaf of bread and a hungry seagull did the trick.

So next challenge: Your bike and a monument (We may have had this before so no using the same monument). Extra points will be awarded for getting a big block of colour in your picture too and or an unusual perspective on it.

3bm, we expect focus


Closing date 4th April, so 3 weekends to get some snaps.

Ok boss. I did have a good one lined up, but me, the location, the bike and the camera were never in the same place at the same time.

Does it have to be "your" bike or can it be "a" bike?

 

[Crackle]

Yes, it has to be a bike belonging to you in the picture somewhere.

Blimey reiver, that's setting the bar high for the rest of us!

just remove some spacers!

Pedant mode - is that a monument? Or a harbour marker?

Good pic though!

(Just jealous that someone's had some sunshine today!)

Just to warn you Crackle, the £20 he promised to bribe me with never turned up either!

 

[Spinney]

Good point its not a monument, some sort of navigational aid. It was also a few months back; does pic have to be taken between now and closing date ?

I haven't read the rules, just thought I would join in

Well they told me I couldn't use a pic from Arran taken last year for the water competition.

(It is a nice pic though - I'll leave Crackle to decide on what consitutes a monument! It seems to tick the 'big block of colour' box though.)

Even if it is deemed not valid for the competition there isn't any problem with posting photo's that almost make it ... plenty of people have dragged up old photos that they have used before ... it gets the rest of us thinking ... apart from anything there is usually a lull immediately after annoucing the new theme until we have a chance to go out looking for "the photo" (the one with the tenner attached to it )

Lovely pic but you have to take it for the competition, no library shots, sorry. Ticks all the boxes though and I'd be inclined to allow something on a monumental scale or significance.

That 3BM, Spinney, a trail of broken promises left in his wake. We never did get our in focus shot.

 

[Speicher]

I think that if you say that it is an old photo, there are not usually hundreds of entries, so the Judge is able to remember to exclude "old" ones. I really enjoy seeing people's photos.

Phew, that's lucky or I'd inflict this shot of Davy and The Zebra taken in front of The Copper Horse last year.
