Re: New photo competition 3
 

Ok this competition is now running good luck to all

Re: New photo competition 3
 

only me n dave so far, get snapping, like the boulder on the car though dave, where is it?

Re: New photo competition 3
 

well, I am going to have to trawl my archives I think.
I have got one pic in so far....I must have some which will fit the bill somewhere.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Why is the competition not for photos taken after the start date ? I'm sure everyone has loads of old photos but surely it's better to see new pics with how someone has interpreted the new topic ?

Re: New photo competition 3
 

It would be quite resticitve...especially to those who have limited mobility.
We would end up with a comp that only had Davemacs pics in it...and while I love Davemacs photographic offerings, it would be boring for him to have to look at his own stuff.
Personally I tend to take pictures of stuff that looks beautiful......so this comp is going to test me a bit......and yes, I do know there are a lot of eyesores around our local area, if the weather is inclement, I don't take my camera out....it likes the dry.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Yeah like we've all got time and opportunity to go out snapping rustbuckets or whatever given a two week time frame and the weather at this time of year.

I for one would not be able to enter as I am unable to go out much at the moment other than for hospital visits. However I do have lots of photos stored and will get a lot of pleasure looking back through them to find something suitable for the competition.

Anyway what makes a photo an old photo? If it is new to Accyweb surely it's as valid as anything taken just yesterday. By stipulating new shots I think the entry rate would decrease.

I do however think it might be a good idea to limit the number of entries to say five instead of ten, as Church FC suggested the other day. Seeing ten good photos by one contributor might be a little intimidating for someone who has only one or two to contribute, when one of those might be a potential winner if it were entered.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I also get pleasure from looking back over the pictures I have taken...in fact sometimes I am so 'transported' I quite forget which picture I was looking for.
And seeing pics that i have taken on my travels with Ma is like living the holiday all over again......without the packing and the traffic jams.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

you can have your own personal rules, i won't use pics i have previously posted, and like to take new, thats why i only entered the 1 pic, which i was lucky enough to win with, some i had from the same trip i thought were better pics, but i had already posted them in the Today in Pictures. The one i put on this morning, was taken this morning, only cos i was off to change my starter motor and remembered i had a load of old spanners lol

and why i chose the theme was to try and challenge myself (and others) to get out of "comfort zone" and take pictures they might not normally take.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Good thinking now where's that camera :D

Re: New photo competition 3
 

here lol

Re: New photo competition 3
 

:D nice one

Re: New photo competition 3
 

There appears to be a minor glitch in the photo gallery. I have just uploaded ten photos. Two of the captions had apostrophes in them and the text after the apostrophes has not appeared which makes a nonsense of the captions.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Right at the bottom of Lower Barnes Street c-l-m take a right turn, its on the road that comes out behind the Hyndburn Bridge pub

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Congratulations

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I don't think its a case of own personal rules, more rules of the competition, I don't think it matters when the photo was taken, a good photo is a good photo, no matter how many times its been posted. The rules of the competition don't even say they have to be your own photos, so lets keep it fun and not really a competition in the strictest sense.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

no it was only in answer to shrum, and that the rules of the "comp" are fine, but if you feel that only new photos should apply, then fine only post new ones yourself, what i should have said is my own preference, not rules to be imposed by anyone

the more people enter and vote the more fun it will be.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Yes they do:D

I think close family would qualify as not your own, although all photos I submit are mine, they dont have to be under the rules.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I bet you're glad you no longer offer a prize Mick, You'd have had to get a Solicitor to draw up a contract with the poster of every single picture.

I wonder what happened to the spirit of the first Competition, when people posted pictures without splitting hairs and just enjoyed the chance to compete on friendly terms.

It's a bit of fun, stop worrying about the rules just do it!

Re: New photo competition 3
 

im waiting till saturday, then i can get a candid shot of some railway regulars, pmsl

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Isnt that what I have been saying since the competition started.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Correct Margaret, half the fun for me has been looking back and reminiscing over the old photos, lots of great memories. Comp. #3 however is quite a challenge, there's nothing there, unless I put a photo of me under "seen better days"! So I guess I'll throw the camera in the car just in case. As for the rules, great job Mick.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

If you want a complete set of rules and restrictions i can soon do that
But i thought the competition was only for fun with the minimum of rules
if we had prizes then the competition would be more strict, but we don't
so instead of moaning about the rules lets have FUN
and see some great photos:camera8::camera8::camera8:

Re: New photo competition 3
 

The competition is "Seen Better Days"not ancient monuments:p:D

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Gosh did you really **** yourself laughing?
What a sad life you really do lead, wanting to dominate Mick's photo comp and take piccys in a pub, there, there, if you actually do turn up we'll offer you a sympathetic smile, what a fond memory that will be for you!
:)

Re: New photo competition 3
 

If he does turn up,will it be a first?? I can't remember one.:confused:

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Probably wants to brag about his new camera and he has no friends to show it to.
So, yes, I think he might just turn up.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

The idea of candid must of passed u by

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Nope, just wasn't sure that anyone that pees themselves with excitement could grasp the meaning of that or any other word used in normal conversation.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

anyway, back to the photos!

Re: New photo competition 3
 

How wonderful that you suggest such a thing, yes lets get back to the photos from all that wish to enter, no matter how many or whatever the legal source.
Then perhaps Mick can get back to enjoying the hard work he has to put in organising the whole thing.

By the way, if you do decide to come to the railway on Saturday, don't hide around a corner taking pics, be brave enough to introduce yourself.
The site has a tradition of 'what's on the site, stays on the site'.
You may be surprised by the warm welcome you get.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I thought flame-throwers indoors had been banned along with smoking ? :D

Re: New photo competition 3
 

We use smokeless fuel, as per the 1957 clean air act.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Thanks, got quite a few of them, various bombs, munitions & such like, also a shot of a crater after one had to be blown on site. It was an interesting few days watching the lads work. :)

Re: New photo competition 3

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Only from distance (Big clouds of smoke).

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Well as the theme is "seen better days" i have entered a couple of photos i took yesterday on way to the Railway they might upset one or two members though:hidewall::p:D

Re: New photo competition 3
 

glad I wasn't there, I probably would have been among them.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Well it wasn't a first, pity i never had money on it.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

was a tongue in cheek, comment, saturdays is a bad day for me, with working on a friday night then again on a saturday night, cant go into a pub and not have a beer, and i wont drink n drive even if its just the one

however if anyone would like to take me up on the offer of meeting up for a couple of pints on a weekday, i would be more than happy to join you for a mutal libation, anybody busy tuesday around 12 ish?

Re: New photo competition 3

Re: New photo competition 3

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I am sure this can be arranged :D

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Will "do not forsake me oh my darling" be playing ont duke box, I do have a black hat pmslnrjf*

*p! $$ed my self laughing not really just figuratively

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I noticed you can't vote on competition 3 yet !

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Ooooh! a post that's on thread instead of about churchfc, well done.

Perhaps the power has gone to Mick's head and he's changed the rules?
Just to prove that he can, rather than when told to by a rather precocious member?
:D

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I did feel like I was intruding, but I think we should vote before the thread closes, and the next competition starts.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

who is trying to change the rules less?

time to unsaddle from that big beast, put the big wooden spoon down and back away slowly, oh there we go another thread wander

Re: New photo competition 3
 

All part of the grand plan I imagine, so far the only thing Mick and his fun competition haven't been accused of is fiddling the votes, maybe that is his next step?
;)

Re: New photo competition 3
 

isnt it next week for voting? comp doesnt close till friday 8th

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Each competition will run for 2 weeks, 12 days for uploading photo's and a further 2 days which can be used for voting only.
During the 12 days uploading time you will be able to vote and there will be an option to cancel your vote if you feel a better picture has been submitted.
After the 12 day upload period, voting only will be allowed for 2 days then voting will be stopped.

This is what it says in post 1 of this thread so we should have been able to vote since day 1.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

If you look in the very, very, small print hidden away in the depths of the mod section, it says:-

'The rules are open to change on the whim of the organiser, depending on how upset he becomes when he gets fed up with being told what to do with his competition by ignorant folk that should just put up and shut up.'
:cool:

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Oh dear so now I get my a s s kicked for doing what I was told to do in the first photo competition thread, that is go back to post 1 and read the rules. :(

I was merely posting information, I have no problem with anyone changing the voting system so long as they let us know.:idunno:

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Don't get paranoid, no-ones kicking yours, your past questions were out of ignorance and confusion, the proof of which was that even though it says P.M. Mick if you have problems you do put your questions in the thread.
:)

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Thank you Less, mea culpa, at least you know what I'm talking about. :o

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Yes i do apologise for changing the vote rule but i have noticed some members are just voting early so they can see who has the most votes and then changed there vote.
So voting will only be started on the last 2 days of the competition.

The rules have now been changed so stop moaning please

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Thanks Mick, I'm all in favour of that change.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

me too.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I don't think you could call it moaning exactly, more a desire to contribute to the success of your competition, and a willingness to help in your endeavour.

I don't think this is because we are frightened of you, well some are, I might be , well just a bit, oh all right then I am. I am typing this under the stairs.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

likin the boats, is that glasson dock, and does anyone remember the floating cafe that used to be there (is it still there) was an old ship/boat turned into a cafe, mum n dad used to take us a kid in 70`s, havent been for years might be worth a trip on wednesday, just for old times sake n remember em both

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Haven't been for a couple of years but the boat/cafe was closed and up for sale last time I was there. Nice caravan cafe there though, good food, lots of bikers there. Frank (max) should be able to give you an up to date picture.

Re: New photo competition 3

Re: New photo competition 3

http://www.tiptopglobe.com/skin/smile/s12754.gif

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I have voted.....in fact I think my vote was the first one cast....I was waiting to vote.
There are some great pics...again, but the choice was easier this week...well for me at any rate.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

I have voted too but it was a hard choice as the category produced such a wide range of photos. Good luck all!!

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Voted, however, I would require 10 votes to pick the ones I like, so I hope everyone wins.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Voted. Have to say I thought there were too many categories, to many options/varieties to pick from. Just my opinion. Great photos in all categories.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

There is only 1 category / theme "Seen Better Days "
it is upto members how they interpret the theme
i am NOT setting more rules.

and by the way we need more members voting we only have 15 upto now so if you have not voted please have a look and VOTE:D

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Mick - I can vote again if you want :D(only joking)

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Right Mick, sorry about that. An old teacher once told me, " read the question three times so you will understand it". I'll put my reading specs on next time.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Right this competition is now closed and we have a joint win
so its upto the theme setter Churchfcrules to pick a winner

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Difficult choice, both cracking pictures, but this times winner is..........




The rusty old clyde puffer, sorry davemac, I am sure you will have more victories to come!

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Good choice, the rusty bottom is a cracker. Well done dave in germany.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Right the winner is DaveinGermany

Re: New photo competition 3
 

right i have sent a pm to DaveinGermany
but as he is not online at the moment your all going to have to wait till i get a new theme from him.
if i have not got a reply by 10pm tomorrow i will set the theme

Re: New photo competition 3
 

well done DinG ..

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Thanks for the votes, Dave Mac sorry about that yours was also a worthy photo, in fact there's a lot of raw talent amongst all you snappers( & as CFC noted, you'll be back up there again afore to long.):)

Incidentally I've PM'd Mick with the subject & I think there'll be chance for everyone to partake, I expect the choice will be even harder this time round. ;)

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Well done Dave! Look forward to seeing what your choice of category is. :)

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Have just seen it -nice one!

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Just seen the next theme, thats interesting, I have a subject ready, if pets are allowed? never the less a theme to stretch the imagination.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Aye Dave, pets are included in the "Beasts" category, to be honest that's pretty much what I expected from this, loads of pet pics. :)

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Champion, I have one or two that I can include, wont be uploading until possibly wednesday as I am a bit busy to look until then. So save me a space.

Re: New photo competition 3
 

Well done Son! Great pic...worthy winner.
