Photo Comp - Chat Thread

[admin]

Oh yes, I can see that now.

[allantheboss]

Yeah, simply just my arm (which is basically a selfie stick because I'm 6'6") out over the edge of the top floor of the eiffel tower. Taken with my Oneplus Two.

[Kenzie]

Good choice. Got so much going on at the mo so not going to be able to get out and shoot. Have posted up the screen grab from the GoPro. Please feel free to remove if it doesn't meet the rules.

Your recent wave vs lighthouse picture Richie will fit in a treat for this months topic!

Your recent wave vs lighthouse picture Richie will fit in a treat for this months topic!

So Richie what's January's topic then?

[Richie]

lol.... stop, the idea is not to trawl through your hard drive for old photos, but to get out and take new ones...

http://forums.sv650.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15583&d=1453281499Thought of this months photo competition when I saw this. :-)

[Luckypants]

I have one buried away that would be excellent. Doubt I'll find it in time to enter though :smt022

[Kenzie]

Hope he has a good grip while on that boat!

[Ch00]

Indeed. Lucky it was fairly calm water.

[Ch00]

Its a tie between mister c and daddyjob



Please jointly choose a new topic and post away.....






...... Or had it all died and its time to put it to bed?

Doesn't seem to be as many people on the forum anymore

[admin]

I took the camera out for the first time in weeks yesterday. I've still got unprocessed shots from Xmas on it. To busy decorating and working.

[Littlepeahead]

Tonight we judged the annual worldwide cricket photo competition I organise. 380 entries down to a top 11 with a winner and two runners up.

It makes choosing a winner each month on here look a bit more simple.

[Littlepeahead]

I still need to take or find something for this month, but rather than go for a sunset like a lot of others I'm going to try and find something different. May use this photo as inspiration, taken by my friend Kevin. I love this photo of his.

Thats stunning (Snowboard in Finland)

[mister c]

That, LPH, is brilliant. Great use of light & shadows. It's got a James Dean feel about it

[Littlepeahead]

Thanks Mr C. She's very pretty is Charlotte. The studio was in an ancient house, all lopsided narrow staircases, lovely fireplaces and crooked door frames.

I know what you mean. I like the Hollywood photos from the 30's and 40's, again black and white but the lighting was always spot on. Also look up Karsh of Ottawa, he really knew how to use light.

This is Sky's 'Hawk Eye' camera on the day before a Test match giving a view over Lord's.

Loving Littlepeahead's latest photo post. Nice shot :)

You make a fine couple!

SIII - Tayvallich cafe, best one in the world perhaps? When they were doing venison burgers there were awesome. My best friend's parents still live in the village, she was married in the little church there.

[carelesschucca]

Here Ron you can't use Tayvallich I was gonna post a photo from there...

I'll need to find somewhere else then.

[johnnyrod]

Do it, I don't see why not, I was actually going to see if I had any good ones!

[Ch00]

2 photos of the same place can look very different. Do it!!

[Littlepeahead]

Hah, just you wait until I post my photo of Basildon!

[carelesschucca]

I was thinking (always dangerous) but there is a place I actually prefer to Tayvallich and that is another west of Scotland village and it always means motorbikes and relaxation after a blooming mental weekend...

[TamSV]

... a place I actually prefer to Tayvallich and that is another west of Scotland village...


New Cumnock?

[carelesschucca]

Got it in one ;-)

[AJC]

I saw the topic for the photo comp thread and thought, maybe I should put a pic of Applecross...

Need to think of somewhere else now :)

[carelesschucca]

Hmm come to think of it. Nothing has been done about a post GM Add-On...

[Ch00]

Keep the photos coming!!

You have till the 25th

[SIII]

Tayvallich is an awesome wee place. Great cafe, with the best view from a veranda whilst eating soup, in the world. �� (in a Clarkson voice)

[punyXpress]

So THAT'S what happens if you kick against the *****s?

Can someone arrange the voting and count them up towards the end of the month? I cant this month. Cheers

[mister c]

Votes finish at Midnight people :)

[mister c]

Looks like the Photo comp is dying on it's feet :(. I have tried this month to try & involve most people, but myself & Red ones are the only pictures on there. Real Shame

[Littlepeahead]

Give me a chance. I've got some good ones but it's Test match week, I may get something better...

[BanannaMan]

Not had the time or opportunity here the last few months.
Got a galaxy S7 because it supposedlly has a great camera but I haven't taken more than a dozen or so pics with it since I got it. :(

[Littlepeahead]

These are just from this month, I just have to go through my pics and choose something

Ditto. I can post up a shot but its not recent. Was a post saying to avoid doing that so if its not fresh then I don't enter.

[johnnyrod]

Will get my thumb out soon. It's a good choice of topic, or so I'd thought! Maybe a little too wide perhaps.

Thought some of you might like a "toad in the hole"

[Bibio]

so what happens if you dont have a mobile phone with a camera.. auto exclusion.. not fair... lol

[johnnyrod]

Super tiny kids, Tim, how old were they? Our little bundle of *********** was 8 weeks early, takes away all the "worry" of what to put in a hospital bag!

[timwilky]

They were 25 weeks when that was taken. Isaac weighed in at 1lb, 1oz his tubby twin was 2lb10oz. They had twin to twin transfusion syndrome. Selfish cow was pinching his nutrients and not giving him the space to develop. so they had to make an early appearance.

They 're doing well now.


My mum was a twin, I am a twin. None of my kids were. But no surprise it reappears in my family.

[johnnyrod]

Blimey, they are lucky indeed. Ours was 2lb 12oz and it was a close thing, but not that close! They your grandkids or niece and nephew then?

[Kenzie]

My phone camera always needs cleaning. Lives in my pocket!

[johnnyrod]

It's amazing what gunk they can put up with. The selfie camera on mine needs a clean, really looks fuzzy on the pics.

[Teejayexc]

Sorry Littllepeahead, you said to look closely at your purple elbow but when I zoomed in I got distracted!

I'll post up a theme this evening.

Can you make it something like "view from a house near a park in Buckinghamshire"? It's too cold to be going far at this time of the year... [/wimp]

Come on people. Everyone has something rusty...dont they?

Don't really fancy posting a pic of my VW T2.

Erm - not much rust around Trev Towers that would make a nice shot... I have the weekend to myself so hopefully I'll find something when I'm out and about.

Dobbs Weir, I practically work next to that! And no not in the pub.
Damn I should have photographed that for last months entry.
It's rusty enough.

[SV650rules]

This is the rustiest thing I could find, and a bit phallic as well !!

Its a very, very old mooring bollard in Charlestown Cornwall, made of wrought iron, hence the almost organic look of it LOL.

I'm thinking about changing my entry to this one. Thoughts/opinions? Should I crop it a little to zoom in on the sheep, or leave as is?
