Photo Comp - Chat Thread

[Sir Trev]

And me as well. Even as thread starter I don't seem to have an option of opening it up again so we need a mod to help us here.

[Richie]

it looks open to me....

[Luckypants]

Admin re-opened it last night. No idea how it was locked...

[Richie]

changed my entry :) hope you all do not mind.

[Brettus]

What was it before? my memory faded already and google cached it before your submission.
Still need to get some idea for one, I've got one idea so far but I've got such a slim chance of taking it that I need a sensible one too.

[Amadeus]

Nice lilies Peter

Cheers! It's at Abbotsbury Botanical Gardens in Dorset.

So, I've entered this to the comp. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/04/a8y3aseg.jpg

But I also like this one, thoughts???

[Brettus]

I'd go with the first, both good shots though!
Typical that I'd seen job for the first time in months and shot pictures shortly before this came up, will have to try and meet up again.

[Richie]

had these also...

I couldn't decide between the one I entered or this one ? I could always swap it. I've seen folk do that before?
Which one is better :confused:

I met this beautiful creature in Florida.
Apparently "seeks a shapely girl with a bit of a wild side that likes bananas" is the wrong thing to put on an internet dating site.

Haha nice one Bill :)

[Shawthing]

Anybody want to guess the 3 locations of November sample pics?

[Littlepeahead]

I'm going to feel slightly under pressure this month! Actually Lord's isn't a stadium, it's a ground, we're always keen to stress that so maybe I'll look for something else.

[Shawthing]

10 days in and no entries!
Come on boys & girls. Surely some of you have photos from a stadium event.

[Littlepeahead]

Yes yes give me a chance, I've got 140,000 pictures in the Lord's photo library, need to sort through which are mine and which are any good, give us a break!

[Sir Trev]

When I go to a stadium event I generally watch instead of trying to picture things. Should have some pics of a Roman stadium from a holiday earlier this year so will have a look for one of those. It's an amphitheatre really of course but...

[DarrenSV650S]

Il Colosseo, Rome - Colossal by name, and to be fair it was a bit big and impressive. Not much sporting action though!

Is that where they filmed Jumper ?

[haggis]

Yes Darren. At the time I took the pic I had seen the film but only now you've mentioned it, I remember those scenes in the underground chambers.

A quick imdb check confirmed it. Jumper* ( 2008 )

The crew was allowed to film inside the Colosseum for three days, under 3 conditions: no equipment could be placed on the ground, they could only shoot from 6:30 to 8:30 am and 3:30 to 5:30 pm to avoid disturbing tourists, and the only lighting allowed was natural sunlight.

Massive thanks for all the votes. :D
I've never won anything so prestigious in all me puff!

I'm thinking up a suitable theme for December..... :confused:

[Richie]

Nice one Haggis, well deserved win Too :P

[Kenzie]

Great topic. Off to Dusseldorf in a week or so and there is something there that should work well with this theme.

[chris8886]

this month has produced some quality pictures so far already I think, cracking topic haggis!!

these were taken tonight and the composite was made via Photoshop.

I know what you mean. It's a bit surreal. It was taken at Doddington hall just outside Lincoln. I assume its a folly and has no real purpose other than to amuse the original owner.

A bit like 'Eye of the Needle' at Wentworth, near Sheffield ( going there tomorrow ). Allegedly the heir to the estate used to get topped up on strong drink and then drive his coach and four through it as fast as he could.
. . and you thought high speed fun was invented with the coming of the SV. :D

Agreed. I can't improve on that comment

Lots of top photos already this month.
I may have a hard time in choosing only one for me vote!

I think there was a compliment in there somewhere prior. LOL ;)





And yes, I am posting the photo comp 'CHAT' thread.
Just saying..

[Geodude]

Yep i agree Bill, some cracking shots this month. Have the photo comp anti chat police been sacked ;)

[pookie]

I believe they are the police ;) .. awesome shots this month. I clearly need to get out more and see some of this scenery, preferably on 2 wheels. I kind of wish the OTAL camera would make its move as I quite enjoyed seeing various parts of the country.

It's good that I have proof that very occasionally I do get to leave the office.

[carelesschucca]

I was initially worried that my photo wasn't definitively UK enough I was close to using a shot of The Kelpies or the Pineapple House thats a few miles along the road from them. But I didn't think the only photos were that great.

Loving some of the photos that have been submitted, its gonna be hard to choose this month.

[Viney]

That's it. Brettus had an issue with SV at that spot on a ride out many moons agoI ride over the elan valley once with a mate of mine. He took us down some sheep tracks and everything. Also came across a car upside down on its roof! No one was there just a load of police tape.

Romance???
I thought there was already a 'you and your bike' thread. ;)








Now if someone would be so kind as to start the new thread.
(Not that I have any romantic pics)

[Littlepeahead]

Romance sucks. Valentine's day is for those who don't have the imagination to do something special or inventive for their partner all year and then do something totally uncreative and unoriginal because Clinton Cards tell them to.

Pah.

Anyway, here's a photo of Mr LPH and my friend at a wedding, not taken by me. Don't they make a lovely pair.

I was thinking of something quirky a bit like your shot. I was thinking more along the lines of the romance of steam for example.

Do I post the new comp thread (non chat) or is that a mod job for the sticky?

Post it up and one of the mods will sticky it in due course, the rest of us know how to find it, just follow the usual format for the title and it'll stand out :)

I'll sticky it Dave as soon as I see it.

I think the choice of theme was a bold one this month but clearly has failed. My fault as it was my suggestion. I'll get my coat.

[Brettus]

Nah, I think it's the time of year. Everyone has come out of Christmas euphoria and is back to work slog and not really looking around much. Certainly true of me at least.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

These bridges seem popular as I came across one with padlocks all over it in Sudbury (the one in Sufolk) a year or two back.

[Richie]

This was where my cousin was proposed to by her then boyfriend, after she placed a padlock on this bridge in Paris.
