January 2009 Photo comp.

[TC3]

Thanks for all who voted for my firework pic.

This months theme is to be Black/white. It can be any form of black/white photography such as converted from colour or maybe infra red.

I will start off with one of my fave infra red b/w pics of a friends car.

Good luck to you all. If you convert from colour just remember to up the contrast as it can help a dull pic look a bit more exciting at times.

OMG !!!

Day one... and there are 15 entry's so far..........................................


going to re think the Polling system, so it's only a poll and not a poll and photos....
You have to look for the photos, I'll just put the names up.

The last date of entry of this Photo Comp is 25 Jan 09...
then a 5 day vote off...

Every one Only gets ONE vote for the entire POLL...

I'll say that again....



Every one ONLY GETS ONE VOTE...

[DarrenSV650S]

Is there definitely now way of putting more options in a poll?

[Richie]

Is there definitely now way of putting more options in a poll?

I only get 10 options per poll...


so this is my problem.

i can't decide between two images - I'm guessing it's one entry per person?

[Paul the 6th]

anywho... took this in the town of chamonix in France. It's the nearest french town to mont blanc which is the tallest mountain in europe at 4,810 metres. Because the peak of mont blanc is on the french/italian border, there has been a long dispute as to which country actually owns the summit... Chamonix is also the site of the first ever winter olympics which were held in 1924... :)

so this is my problem.

How about something like this....

Seems quite flexible, so maybe could be used when the usual forum poll isn't up to the job. :-?


Wotcha think Richie?

Wotcha think Richie?

when you go to sign up, you still only get 10 options for the free version... unless you part with lots of Cash... $200 per year for unlimited poll options.

cheers for the thought, but even if we did do a poll off forum then how would we know who voted?

I think the software people at vBulletin® might have an answer (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=206636).

Where exactly is that maultin? Looks familiar but can't find it on google maps

my photo was taken at Niarbyl on the Isle of Man, quite close to Dalby.
Here is a website page about the place
http://www.iomguide.com/niarbyl.php

If you use Google Maps, you can search for bayr niarbyl. Follow the road to the coast & you will find where I took the photo

Piece of advice. Don't take your bike onto the car park at the visitors centre - its gravel & treturous. My mate (with nearly 30 yrs riding experience) almost spilled his Varadero as he entered the car park because the ground shifted from under him. You can take your bike down to the shore.
