Photo Competion
 

To try and get this under way "properly" I've started a new thread. All photos for each month will come here, I will then "split" the thread at this point every month. However, we will generate a list of winners.

Few simple rules...

• One entry per person per month

• The winner of the competition will suggest the subject for the following month.

• The winner cannot enter the following month, but they should provide a photo in the opening post to set the standard if they want to.

• "Photoshoped" images: ALL images in the scene have to be your own work, putting a decent picture onto a background that you didn't take isn't exactly fair.

• If you do photoshop the picture please mention it when you post it. Not that there is anything wrong with editing them, it just will allow people to make their on decisions about voting.

Winners so far:

June '07 TC3
July '07 Blue Pete

nice spot. Top of the Col du Lautaret on the road out of Briancon unless I'm much mistaken. turn right to the Col du Galibier, left for the nice twisty run down to Bourg D'Oisons and Grenoble?

Re: Photo Competion
 

This shows what a good feeling is!

My trail guide and mate Trev down in Andalucia was sitting here and telling me how lucky he knows he is to have this on his back doorstep.

Re: Photo Competion
 

Some good pictures so far - more about the picture than the technique i think for this month.

Wasnt there going to be a bike based prize and general award?

Re: Photo Competion

Re: Photo Competion
 

where is your flying helmet with goggles (nice pic)

Re: Photo Competion
 

That looks very familiar :D

(Notice the red 'Blade ??)

I'm trying to remember where that was, it looks like ether the hotel at the Grand St Bernard on the Italian/Swiss border, or the Col du Lautaret just before the Col du Galibier.


Kyree, good to hear from you again, we're off to the Alps on the 24th, just 3 weeks to go :thumbsup:




Edit: LP, you beat me to it....

Re: Photo Competion
 

Here is my entry. I had just hiked for miles along that little winding path you see in the distance, up to an old lookout tower on the West coast of Corsica. In my bag I had a hunk of bread, a hunk of corsican cheese, a corsican sausage and some fresh olives. Heaven! :)

The best kind of picnic, the one you pick up in a local shop somewhere on the way.

Re: Photo Competion
 

You'll get arrested taking pictures of girls in bikinis! ;)

Re: Photo Competion
 

No didn't notice that, but thought I recognised the fat bloke next to it! :rolleyes:

Re: Photo Competion
 

Reaching the top of a mountain during the Charity Coastal Motorbike Tour I've just completed, and after only just making it up there, and looking down at this and thinking "Wow!":

Good feelings: it's a beautiful place to be, my Mum lives there, I was drinking a beer when I took this, I was there with my lovely sister during the best year of my life. All in all, good stuff.

(apologies for the rubbish scan by the way!)

sums up boating for me, boating made me feel alive. I miss being able to boat at that level now (to old and scared). We had just completed the Gyr / Gyronde including most of the 'graveyard' section at monumental levels and was feeling pretty chuffed with myself.

Cold Water, hot sunshine, hot boating and a ton of adrenaline, makes you feel alive!

Re: Photo Competion
 

WHAT! at the speed you used to throw that lill sv of your around:rolleyes:
good pic LP.:D

Re: Photo Competion
 

Well it felt good to me :cool:

Re: Photo Competion
 

Okay I'll be the first person to ask...
How and Who took that photo...?

ps Cool photo.

Re: Photo Competion
 

It's on the Hairpin at Mallory yesterday. The photographer was standing on the inside of the hairpin which is about 2 - 3 feet above the track, so in effect he was pretty well shooting the shot from above. The key was to get the bike close enough to him but far enough away from the Hairpin wall so it wasn't in shot.

That was my favorite shot out of the day, the combination of action emotion, the linking of the Silver in the suit/helmet and the fading Orange to Blue in the Visor all connected really well. The best thing the photographer and I talked about the potential to get this shot before the session so it was sort of planned

All I did was the riding :D The photographer was the Focussed Events chappie

Re: Photo Competion
 

great photo!

Re: Photo Competion

Eat a live frog first thing in the morning- and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day !!

Re: Photo Competion

Re: Photo Competion
 

Why do you think the pic was taken from behind? Nothing under that jacket except me;)

I took this pic of Jean Pierre Goy (Stunt man from all of the recent James Bond films) at Beaulieu Bikeworld 2004. It was great just to be in the sunshine with Grinch and friends, watching some bloody mad frenchman rag a bike about some tarmac!

Re: Photo Competion
 

I took this yesterday.

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z...r225/567hr.jpg

A warm summers day, some water and a yellow curvy - what more could you possibly want?

I went out at about 1 and completely lost track of time, didn't get back 'til 6. I thought I'd only been gone for a few hours and was thinking that the sun was getting low a bit early :smt100

Anyway, thays why it's a good feeling, 'cos I just went for a ride and nothing else mattered - not even time!
