Pic of the week game

. . . . . . . . . . but I thought the one making the post has to take the picture?
.

Originally (Jan 2018), there wasnt any specific mention in the "rules" about that, but was pretty much assumed that the photo was by the submitter.

But then (a year later?) were some submissions entered that were obvioulsy taken by the passenger or someoneelse involved in the event with the submitters involvment. ANd some discussion ensued, and "rules" revised (as quoted above).

So, yes, now (since about 2019?) the rules allow photo taken by someoneelse as long as it is your bike (at the time).

Heck, since then, we even had photos subbmittted that were from a professional photographer session shot for magazine publication.
So, yes, the rules allow that.
But,,,,, but, each person voting has thier own criteria.

Panoramic shots do some weird stuff sometimes... Look at this cute little bike!!

Given the rider looks almost normal there, he must in reality be the size of two small whaling vessels.

Ok, apparently I misread the rules or posted one w/o my bike & thought rider had to take picture.
Guess I have more photos to choose from now. Thanks for clarifying.

Hey Baatfam,
not to be a nit picker, but I thought the one making the post has to take the picture?
Cool shot regardless.

You would think so, but even in the original rules, who took the shot doesn't matter.
All the rules are on the first page.
Thanks for checking though, I've been wrong before. (At least once)

7. Any bike can participate... not only GS's (as long as it was yours when the pic was taken)
8. The date of the picture does not matter, or who took the pic. You can use new or old pics as long as you've got the bike in the pic (or as much of the bike as necessary for the theme) and they meet the week's theme.

We get two (hundred) or more balloons gathered and taking off during Balloon Fiesta.

Where two or more are gathered, in this case, there will be lots of noise.

My Shadow500 there (plexi faring, red&green bungie cords on seat, jacket on ground).
Muskegon Bike Time 4 or 5 years ago.
