Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[benb]

Gunnar Sønsteby (who, in the film is played by a young man/boy and starts off as a message runner) said of Max Manus he was not a normal man, in that he knew no fear. Handy bloke to have on your side, i reckon. Whilst I, on the other hand, couldn't be bothered to ride my bike to the town centre.

I don't know, fear is a useful thing.

Right as I'm about to go out on the bike (I am going out, I am going out.........never mind the wind). I shall pronounce. It's much harder judging than entering and I thought the standard was pretty good this month which made it tougher. However I have a favourite but first honorable mentions too

- 3bm, I'm sure he could have done more with that horses ass
- Redjedi for producing a picture with so many elements it could be used for all competitions
- Norry1 and 3bm for very appropriate monuments
- Spinney for creating a picture that looks like Eric is just skipping off the bike in joy
- Arch, if only the bike hadn't fallen over
- Norm, though there are suspiscions they were taken at Xmas or he just hasn't taken the fairly lights down yet
- Mcshroom for taking a picture that made me want to cycle to wherever it is
- Benb for dedication to the cause way beyond mine
- User9609 for the most stuff on the back of the bike in a picture


And the winner is - Alan_h because it was most like what I had in mind when I set the challenge



So over to you for the next challenge Alan

Wow! Thanks, Crackle. I thought there were some good photos, especially Spinney's view of Morecambe Bay. Either I got very lucky or that tenner in the post worked.

The new challenge is: My Bike and Shopping. Any kind of shopping will do, as long as the photo inlcudes your bike (or part of it). Winner to be announced in two weeks' time on Monday 18 April.

 

[Piemaster]

Good challenge. I predict several bike photos disappearing under unfeasibly large amounts of shopping, but Alan does say 'or part of it' though

 

[benb]

What if your shopping is a new bike?

 

[Haitch]

What if your shopping is a new bike?

Get your snap in before 18 April. All entries judged (subjectively) on the quality of the photograph, not the shopping.

 

[Piemaster]

Even if the shopping was beer being delivered to you?

 

[Stephenite]

I've just been to the shop! (And i've washed up so the gf is very happy)

Amongst other things i bought parsnips. Now these aren't your common or garden parsnips. These are norwegian parsnips at £1.80 for two!

Outside the shop:

And in the bod:

Works out to be about 2 quid per quarter pound.

As you can see i've set the bar pretty high with my artistic talent!

 

[Haitch]

Even if the shopping was beer being delivered to you?

Mmmmmmm.... bike in soft focus with beer.

 

[Haitch]

I've just been to the shop!

Way to go, Stephenite! You're in the lead so far.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Way to go, Stephenite! You're in the lead so far.

I might go one better than Stephenite...that'd be a turnip for the books!

 

[Stephenite]

I'm already thinking about the next theme... Your bike in snow! ...I think Dayvo will have that one sewn up.

 

[Stephenite]

Come on then TBM. Lets see the roots of your labours!

 

[Haitch]

BUMP

Has no one been shopping yet? Let's all get out on to the High Street and reflate the economy! And take a photo.

 

[Amanda P]

Well, damn, I went shopping by bike last night. But didn't have my camera with me. Nor had I read this thread for a while...

But on the bright side, I've just got a new phone with a camera in it. So I'll be able to enter more often in future - as long as I remember to look and see what the current contest is.
