Congratulations to Col.Kurtz on winning Comp 6.

Click here to enter/view Competition

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.

Anyone can vote, you don't have to enter the competition to be entitled to a vote but it is 1 vote per person

The winner will get to choose a theme for the next competition ( You won't need to do anything else, the moderators will create the folder to be uploaded too)

In the event of a tie the person who chose the theme will decide on the winner

4 entrys are allowed per person
Any more than this will be removed, your 1st 4 uploads will stay - later ones will be removed

All images must be your own work, scanned, digital, phone, video stills are all allowed, please dont use images off the web or from mags as we dont want Accyweb getting into trouble for hosting copyright images. You will retain copyright of all your images.
Photo's altered with image editing software will be allowed

Theme chosen by Col.Kurtz - photo 6 comp winner is
Classic Beauty

.................................................. ..................................................
We now have some small prizes to be awarded, we won't be giving one away for every competition so what we will do is:-
Give 1 away for every 6 competitions, this will mean a prize will be given approx every 12 week.
I will put he 6 winning images into a thread with a poll on so people can vote for the one they like, it will run for 5 days then the poll will close, Mick is holding the prizes and will contact the winner with details of how they can collect it.
I will not be able to enter as I run the comp neither will any of the Accy moderators, this doesn't stop us entering the fortnightly comp - it just means if we happened to win one our entry wouldn't go into the prize draw, we would in that case enter the runner up from the week we won.
Prize you could win by entering this competition is a Mini tripod

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Maybe i vote too early, there always seems to be more pictures after i vote ....i will leave it until nearer closing, this time

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Granny you can always change your vote if you see a pic that you like better.......there is a button that says 'clear my vote'...if you click on that it removes your vote and you can pick another picture that you like better.
I kind of hope you will vote for mine........:) I like to win...even when there is no prize at stake!

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

So far there are only 7 entries and 4 of those are mine!

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Welll, will have a 'bash' even though lousy photographer, but will enter into the spirit of the thing.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder though, isn't it ? and what memories it holds for yourself.

Did think about asking Garinda to pose in a toga or maybe take on 'The Thinker' pose, however, found his modelling rates per hour too expensive ;)

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Good on yer Kate....glad to see you are having a bash.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Good one Katex we need more members to think like you and have a go
and your photo is a nice one .

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Margaret you do some cracking pictures,,,

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Thanks GC.......I do try.......and since the age of digital cameras it is a lot easier (my dear old dad would say it isn't 'proper' photography).

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

I burnt my pics on to a disc and "mislayed" it. :( will have to see what I have left on the comp in the hope of finding one that would be good enough to enter.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Oh Spuggie......post a pic anyway...whatever you have....so far there are only 11 entries......that is POOR by anyones standards.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Thanks H.R. for the Karma...and thanks to everyone else who voted for my pic. It was a close run thing and a pretty tough call because all the pics were excellent!

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Some great photos up (keep them coming), worst thing about winning a comp is it wouldn't be fair to enter the one you set...I'm itching to post a couple.

...and hoping your choice of subject get's a decent number of entries :o

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Get them posted the more members that post the better we need all we can get .
so please Col Kurtz post them

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Well I've scanned two pics after rooting in the box under the spare bed.


I must get a digital camera soon.:(

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

I've put one in this time. A classic English beauty, my best friend Mange looking fabulous..:D

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Yes Col. Kurtz.......post your pics.....it doesn't matter if you win again...we won't hold it against you!

And Yes G....you must get a digital camera...although, the two you have entered are quite lovely.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Fair do's, although I'll have to do a bit of scanning as I'm another who's not yet gone digi ( I just love my film me! )

I took some today on my brother's digi that, depending on your taste would qualify as classic beauty... lol, I'll let you decide - good luck everyone :)

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

There are some cracking pictures in this competition.......I am really struggling to pick a favourite...there are a few that i like.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Me too ....I think i am going to have to stab one with a pin..like picking a grand national horse.......lol

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

i am so tempted to pick one of Tinks red arrows because i watched them too...(wheres the one with the smokey heart ),
But then i see other fab pictures too ,, oh this is sooo hard this time:idunno: :idunno: :idunno:

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

G/Day Guys I see in the comp 7 there is no underscore on the one's from bygum are these not voteable .
Pat.:confused:

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Just had a look and everything is fine so yes people can vote on all the photos.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

It will only show to you that there seems to be no voting option as their you own images, the gallery software wont let you vote for yourself.
Hope this helps.

I'm still struggling finding something to fit this theme:mad:

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Thanks for that reply no worries I wouldent think of voteing for my own mind you thats a good way you shouldent be able to vote for your own.

Thanks Pat.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Are you not allowed to see how other people have voted until you have voted yourself ?

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

once you have voted you will see the other votes and if you must change your vote.
but does it really matter your not alowed to see other votes in elections are you.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

No course not,,,its just that i have usually voted by now,i just wanted to know how the voting was going....

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Well, this comp is really hotting up.......hope we get more people to vote though.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

done..............................that was tough, so many good ones

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Yes....i've just cast my vote too....it was a tough one to call.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Posted my as |I am on the odd occasion a sentimental old sod as I was when casting. :D

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Some superb pictures in there, I have voted - for the first time :D

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Yes i agree with you there is some very good photos there......
good on you for voting thanks

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Yes Mick....I have voted....always do...and I nag others to do the same :)

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

I thought I had some pretty good pics in this comp....but they can't be that special, I have only managed to get one measly, miserable vote...boo-hoo!

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

I've voted but found it a difficult one to decide. Think everyone's interpretation of classic beauty is very different.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

wow i was nearly too late to vote on this one .......great entries yet again....good luck all who entered

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Last few mins now to get your votes in

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Someones clock's wrong, it ended 3 mins early :)

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Well i went for the beautiful roses ,but it was very hard to choose..

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Congrats Katex on your win, karma on it's way :)

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Wow !! Can't believe that, feel a bit of a fraud really as am well aware that as far as photographic technical genious is concerned I am definitely lacking in that department. Some of the other photographs were wonderful, a level I could not hope to reach in a million years. Think a Carousel has wonderful childhood memories for most of us and quitely simplistic against all the exciting rides you get at Alton Towers, etc.

Out of interest, took this photo at the medieval town of Lucca, a beautiful walled city with no traffic .. only bikes allowed. This was a peaceful square, and as we sat at a local cafe imbibing our cappucino, the music from the Carousel was a pleasure to the ears. The Bourbon, Marie Louise, actually tore down lots of houses to make way for this square so that her people could congregate to meet socially .. all lovely stuff.

Will put up a new theme, not sure how it will be received, but we will see.
Must try and borrow my brother's old digital again for the next one.

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Well done Katex.

:)

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Got to admit that is one nice photo..

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Sounds like that could have been mine Grannyclaret and thank you for your vote.

I had fun doing it. The roses cost me 1.41 euros and I had the beauty of them for a week! I put a dress on a pile of cushions and placed the roses on the top.......natural light and I was quite pleased with it.

The new topic is a challenge and as our ancient Renault Clio is poorly sick, I'm having to think local.

Wish me luck x

Re: Photo Competition 7
 

Yes i,ll wish you good luck Junetta..
The roses were beautiful.i think yellow ones are the nicest,, we call them tea roses ,but i dont know if thats the right name..
