May Photo Comp

[falc]

MitchC is the winner with his stunning picture and the topic for May will be back to bikes with a contrast at the heart of it. What Mitch had was the idea of was a nice shiny bike infront of an old decrepit building, a contrast of old and new with bikes being the key part of it.

Anyway i'm out of here for a week so good snapping!

[Warthog]

What if your bike is old and decrepit like mine? :-P

[rictus01]

You can ride all year and still keep your bike clean and shiny you know:p

[MitchC]

whilst it's possible, show me a 40,000 mile a year bike and I'll show you a better 5,000 mile a year example ;)

we do have a percentage who use more ploish than petrol, their hobby isn't the same as mine :smt102

Still nothing says it has to be your own bike does it ? I'll see if I can get down to here (http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/motormuseum/introduction.cfm) then :D.


Cheers Mark.

Martha's Chapel, built 1908, located on Killian Farm Road, Lincoln County, North Carolina. You can see the foundation on the right side of the wood structure, large rocks without a basement.

07 SV650, Candy Sonoma Red, Shogun Sliders, Michelin Pilot Road 2CT tires, K&N Air Filter, Napoleon Mirrors and Suzuki SV tank cover. Next project is to install a 39CM Oval Viper Race Can. This is my first sport bike @ 52 years old, better late than never! Love the looks & performance of this fine machine! ;)

[plowsie]

Screw the Chapel. I like that colour!

[ThEGr33k]

The ones with the bikes are my entries. Though I need to lose one of them. I think it might have to be the blurred one... Might go out and try to get a better pic.

The blurred pic is taken in a village called Wentworth, I think it comes under Barnsley in area but it might be Sheff. Very nice place it also has this house which has the biggest front in Europe, id put my bike in front of if it wasn't illegal :rolleyes: Damn thing is privatly owned.

Oh well here's YC's bike, pic by me, shame isn't a side view but hey :rolleyes: Taken at a stopoff in Bala, do excuse the kit spread about :lol:

http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/1299/p3194714im9.jpg

hmm, on second thoughts, not exactly an old and decrepit building is it lol! Might be quite old though!

[vfrcauv]

ColorRite paint supply calls the 07 SV650 color "Candy Sonoma Red". Liked it so much, the SV followed me home from the dealer last October!

[missyburd]

Erm well the top one doesn't have a bike in and the third is blurred so I think I'd go for the middle one :p

[ThEGr33k]

Well the top one was just ment to be an advert for the biggest fronted house in Europe... Not part of the comp. But I guess you are right about the blur... Crappy camera. :(

Did you take the other two with the same camera?

[ThEGr33k]

Did you take the other two with the same camera?

The other one with the bike yes. The one of the house is a google found pic :D Thats why I didnt enter it... or I tried to say it wasnt an entry.

I think it must be something to do with the light making it look terrable... I dont know. 2Mega pixel camera on my K550i. :rolleyes:

I fixed my photo post for you.

[falc]

This was taken last year in Surgere near Rochefort. I put this forward for two reasons
a: cause its a really old town in an old part of France, with really old Napoleanic buildings
b:cause theres our modern bikes parked with my best mates 1977 Z1000 in between and i think its a beautiful example for its age

http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb45/loubi650/CNV00064.jpg
