Photo Competition

RobMod · Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2013 12:11 pm Post subject: Photo Competition

Seen on another forum, works quite well - so here goes.

Aim of the game is to get a picture of your vehicle next to the Challenge Topic.

The picture must be:

New, taken since the challenge was posted
Original, not photoshopped
True to the challenge (so if the challenge is "next to a tractor", then no toy tractors allowed unless the challenge is specifically a toy)
Your own picture of your own vehicle - so no robbing pics off other people, no taking pictures of other peoples vehicles.
Nothing illegal or dangerous (so parking on a railway crossing or anything daft like that)
No repeat challenges
Only one person can win the challenge.
Challenges must be available to everyone - so no "parked on the high street in Belfast" but more "parked next to a "high street" sign

The winner gets to name the next challenge, but cannot compete in that challenge.

So, if everyone is ready we'll start nice and easy....

Your Vehicle outside a Chinese takeaway!

Loads around here but they're all in fields Sad

That said they're big ones so it would be the first ever practical use of the iPhone panoramic feature. Lol

YOu can just about see it?

It's at the advanced manufacturing park Sheffield which is something to do with sheffield uni, for some reason I have it in my mind they use it for making hydrogen as a trial for a green energy but I could've made that up Wink

How about parked next to some pink pansies Wink

If you can get a photo next to them and they appear pink hen why the heck not Wink

Only if you can prove they are pansies Very Happy

Before this gets any sillier Cool

Next challenge:

Your vehicle parked next to a proper fish and chip shop.

Why does everyone do foody ones on diet days?

Nightbar · Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 5:38 pm Post subject:

Probably because I was hungry and felt like drumming up support for proper fish and chip shops rather than plastic food Cool

What do you class as a propper one? For me its one that cooks in dripping and doesn't serve kebabs. Not sure I'd be very popular if I got my car close enough to prove that Very Happy

Sorry, referee steps in

The challenge was your vehicle next to pink pansies NOT a picture of pink pansies

As you were

Nightbar · Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 10:50 pm Post subject:

Can't fault the logic of that...

...however it needed pushing on a bit Cool

To avoid controversy can I change it to a pretty girl? Lol

RobMod · Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 7:56 am Post subject:

You can change it to what you like, its your challenge Cool

I just hope you wife and daughters don't read this, surely you're spoilt for pretty girls!

Will this do? Picture taken today in Lenggries (Bavaria), before a crazy bicycle ride to the top of some mountain where there happens to be a hut that sells beer (Tegernseer Huette).

Next challenge: to keep it appropriate, parked in a pub car park next to the pub sign (for example "Red Lion").
