OTaL: Chat Thread

[aaron020873]

Think he means posting them into a thread? Could be wrong tho... (and I havent re-read all of this thread to find out the plans for the photos!)

Thanks fenjer that is what I meant.
It's been a long time since I posted a photo on here.

[Brettus]

Camera will be handed over on Friday, had to have a "rain check" yesterday with Nobby, sorry, things changed my end.
Friday will happen no matter what, I can't do it sooner because of work commitments but once it is out there it should flow a bit better as people can arrange between themselves.

Re the posting of images, the latest suggestion is e-mailing them to an email address that has been created for this project and then Stuuk1 or myself will post them to a hosting account and send you the links back so that everyones post should be consistent. It also means everyone can post their own images so that their avatar and username are associated with the pictures they took (and should make it as simple as possible for everyone getting the camera)
It will also give a single link to browse the entire gallery which would be beneficial also.

Is everyone OK with e-mailing or do we have any other suggestions? (of course if anyone is struggling they can hand the camera over and ask the next person to send their pictures in.

can i ask that you don't use facebook as i don't have an account nor wish to have one. thanks :-)

Same here!;)

[pookie]

sorry if this has been posted before but what route will the camera be travelling? Assuming its 5days per person and there is approx 49 peeps then I imagine it will be about a year before number 49 gets it? or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

[DarrenSV650S]

Can my turn be in summer please ;)

That will no doubt get delayed too... No rush after all, everyone will get their turn eventually. Once it gets around a few people and we have the picture thread up and running it should be interesting!

I've thought about it and have absolutely no idea what I'd take a picture of anyway.

[Brettus]

Me neither so you are safe, It'll be something public like photobucket for posting in the thread.

Yep, it could be out there for some time I'm afraid, but on the plus side, it will mean some people get nicer weather to exchange it :) I'm sure some will be done with it quicker but there needs to be a "reasonable" time frame for having it, playing with it, taking your pictures and then handing it on to the next person.

[aaron020873]

I'm happy with emailing pics will be easier for me.

Right! the game is afoot! I've handed the camera over to (a very patient and accommodating) Mark (NobbyLad).

I'd been rubbish, I hadn't got a working bike (bat flattery, doh!) and I hadn't even taken my pictures!

Anyway, camera is now out in the wild, I'll let Mark work out what to do about selecting the next user, either his choice or posting to let people propose a meet up.

One other thing that came out of it was if you are handing over the camera in person then a 6th picture is allowed, one of the meeting orgers.

Thanks for all the support and enthusiasm, I'll get the map updated (and corrected where appropriate) this weekend.

[Richie]

Renamed thread for you Brettus :0)
This is the first chance I've had proper internet access.

[littleoldman2]

Ten shun..............he's back

[Nobbylad]

OK guys and gals...I've been poorly sick since early hours Sunday, but have just emailed Brettus's photo's to the sv650 account.

I'm hoping to have my pics done and dusted by the weekend, expect lots of wet photo's as the weather is poo at the mo.

So...all I need now is to decide who gets the camera next? :rolleyes:

Although I've met quite a few local org'ers....I'd like to meet someone who I haven't yet had the pleasure of :cool:

So...I'm in the Northwest Liverpool/Mancland mostly, but do travel to London most weeks for a day or two.

I can't quite decide whether to pass it to someone oop North, or squirrel it across the border to that there Larndarn Tarn.

Thoughts?

[missyburd]

I like the idea of it taking so long to get round folk, looking forward to seeing a range of photos all through the seasons :)

[Thunderace]

If you're coming down south we could arrange a meet.

[Richie]

Ten shun..............he's back


Not until the 13/10/12
as I've just completed my 17th Edition + Temporary Electrical Installations Courses, and now on a MACM course (Mobile Air Conditioning Matainers) :0)

catch you soonest.

Regards

Richie.

[Brettus]

Have there been any takers for the next handover yet?

[Nobbylad]

I've kind of arranged a meet up with BluePete - was hoping to do it last weekend but got waylaid, so hoping for this weekend!

[Brettus]

cool, was only wondering :) the weather is against any handovers at the moment anyhoo.

[Bluepete]

The camera is now with me. I'll have a look at the list and get it moving.

Pete ;)

[Nobbylad]

Hey Pete... nice to finally meet you. Sorry I wasn't on the bike... I need to sort the brakes, put my new front tyre on and get it prepped for winter now the cold is setting in. Your Triumph is a minter! I forgot to include a usb cable with the camera, I hope you have one! I wasn't able to upload my pics to the gmail address so if you wouldn't mind.....:rolleyes:

[Bluepete]

What is the email address to upload pics to please?

Pete ;)

[Brettus]

sv650org@gmail.com

Will send you some links back when I've hosted them (and my own, will do that tomorrow at work)

[Bluepete]

Nobbylad's photos emailed to you.

Pete ;)

[Nobbylad]

Nobbylad's photos emailed to you.

Pete ;)

Thanks pal!

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

So far, all I have to say is; MY EYES!!!! THEY BURN!!!



Only joking... nice few photos so far, who is next on the list?

[Brettus]

hah, the only question that I've got is... is your left leg shorter than your right one Nobby? there is a distinct lean to most of them o.O :)

I couldn't hold the camera any further away for the self shot and I was in a rush to hand it over so didn't have time to set the timer. wish I had, I've ruined the thread for myself now, I'll always have to click the first unread post button :D

[joshwalker094]

Ohh I'm liking the pictures :D me me me next please. Gives me an excuse to get the sv out. I'm trying to think of some photo ideas.
I already know your two faces mark and brettus ( met you twice or more and don't know your actual name ha ha)
Would be cool to meet Pete

[Brettus]

mines not a very original username, my real name is Brett :)

[joshwalker094]

Mines hardly original either, josh walker born in 94

[Cymraeg_Atodeg]

You people just don't have any imagination XD

[Skopak]

You people just don't have any imagination XD

I've just had to use a Welsh -> English translator to figure out what your name means. Nice one Welsh Rider ;)

[monkey]

I don't know how to add myself to the map I'm afraid Brettus.

Simple but effective

[Steve_God]

Oooo.... the anticipation!

[Skopak]

Oooo.... the anticipation!

I know... Just hoping the camera gets here before the snow :(

[Brettus]

I dunno, could be some cool snow pictures to be had, but given the size of the list, some people will be getting it sometimes next year I'm afraid (but thats kinda cool that we have such a long period of org snapshots)

[Brettus]

Sorry Monkey I must have missed you off, the map is a manual process unfortunately, hence the location listed on the request list. I've updated it and put you on there now :)
Also updated to show current location.

[Steve_God]

Huzzah! Camera swapped over from BluePete!
Best start taking some pics :)

[Skopak]

The camera is getting passed around a lot now - kinda reminds me of an ex-gf :pig:

My pics emailed Brett.

Pete

[joshwalker094]

so how do you decide who gets the camera next?

[Bluepete]

It's a back handed way of finding out who your friends are!

Don't hold yer breath...

Pete ;)

LOL, it is up to the camera holder Josh, I don't think anyone came up with a better suggestion. People in the nearby area can make their plight to the camera holder and arrange a meeting. Some people will choose people they haven't met because they like to meet new people, others will hand off to friends as it can pass between more people quicker that way.

BP: links sent back! thanks for taking part. :cheers:

I'm blown away by how many people are interested in doing it, I feel bad that its gonna take months for some people to get their turn but hopefully the wait will mean they can take inspiration from some of the pictures that have gone before them.

[monkey]

Does the camera have an SD card?

[DarrenSV650S]

Police!!! RUNNNNNN

[Steve_God]

Does the camera have an SD card?

Yup, it's got a 4Gb one in it.

[andrewsmith]

Yup, it's got a 4Gb one in it.

Monkey, don't even think about it!


I'm doing it before you ;)

[zunkus]

This is a brilliant idea. Anybody coming over to Malta to pass me the camera?

[DarrenSV650S]

I will if I can stay with you for a couple weeks :D

[littleoldman2]

Put me up for a few days and I'm up for that.

[zunkus]

Sry mates but I'm living with my girlfriend... I couldn't impose can I?.. Maybe the camera can be sent by post?

[L3nny]

Some good pics there Pete, the sign in the background of the last one makes it look like the person is the one fowling the pavement.

Put your name on the request list, there's already a couple of overseas members on there.

[zunkus]

Point me to the request list please. Can't find it.

[pookie]

here you go.. cant wait to see some pics from malta :)

They should put a mileometer on the camera ;) and pick up some air miles too

cheers, i probs should have checked the photo section before asking but knew some kind soul would save me the bother :mrgreen:

Great pics so far! Brettus, your extreme closeup looks like a small bIrd peeking from inside the flower haha

[Brettus]

Hah, can't unsee now, it kinda creeps me out!
You wouldn't believe how unplanned those pictures were. After a few reschedules with Mark I was running late for the meet up and I realised I'd not taken my own pictures!
Pulled up outside a village hall with a bit of a view and a window box and the pictures were taken and I was on the move again within 4-5 minutes. complete lack of planning.

[missyburd]

Ironic huh? :-P

[Steve_God]

Week of playing around with the camera done! Handing it over this evening :)

[joshwalker094]

Mwhahahaha I have the camera now :D
Nice meeting you Steve, can't wait to see your pics. Got two photo ideas already just don't have a clue about the other three haha

[Steve_God]

You too mate - I've emailed the pics over, so just waiting for them to be uploaded so I can post the links up :)

[Brettus]

Links mailed, sorry had an early night last night ;)

[Geodude]

Nice beard art Steve and very tidy nostrils ;) Josh looks scared what you say to him ;) Cool sofar great idea Brettus :)

[Brettus]

Thanks geodude, an idea is nothing without participation though. I'm blown away by the interest in it.

[Geodude]

I wonder how it will evolve as in how clever or artistic the photo taking gets also nice to see a small bite of the orgers world/personality in the pictures. :)

[Steve_God]

Nice beard art Steve and very tidy nostrils ;) Josh looks scared what you say to him ;) Cool sofar great idea Brettus :)

Ta! :)
Yeah... didn't even think about what the nostrils could have ended up looking like! lol.

And I've no idea! He looked quite relaxed before the photo! lol :p

[5hort5]

great pics :-) any plans on your hand over yet, we could have twin blue pointy's :-)

[Skopak]

I've had a few ideas on photos but not sure how far the rules allow us to go. Are we allowed to 'edit' the pictures before they're posted??? Obviously something tasteful & in-keeping with the "OTaL" theme. If they have to be as per the picture taken, then so be it, I'm just working on something original if it's acceptable.

[joshwalker094]

Well so far I have 4 pictures, well 2 taken and another two to take,

Edit I have another, so just take these last two over tomorrow and will pm a local orger and arrange camera to move on, will have a gander at the list tomorrow morning as I'm off out to watch sky fall soon

[joshwalker094]

anyone want to tell me the email? i have my photos on my laptop ready to send to brettus.
dropping off the camera soon, so all will be revealed in who's next later.
oh and lastly, my pictures are rubbish, im not very artistic nor very good with camera's and had a busy week

Yep sorry about the wait, I was driving most of the day for work yesterday. I'm in work and breakfasted now so will get it sorted post haste!

It's under offer at the moment m8 so maybe going to stockport but if not do you fancy it?

Should have scrolled up before replying, I'll see if I can have it after SuzukiNess, got a few ideas for my pics so shouldn't need it too long and it would make sense before sending it further way.

yeah no problem - you next :) - i don't want to travel to far on the bike in this weather :)

Excellent, let me know when you're ready. And if the weathers no good I'll probably drive rather than ride.

You'd think on a bike forum that everybody would be using this camera thing as an excuse to get kitted up and ride #disappointed sigh#

Not sure what it's like in the West of the country, but the East coast has had a few days of sunny weather, even though the daylight is in short supply by the time I finish work :smt090. This is the time to wrap up, get out & enjoy the roads before winter kicks in.
