Pic of the week game

[Sandy]

That looks pretty good to me Sandy, but then again all of my photos are crappy cell phone shots.

Actually that one is a crappy cell phone photo. My old Samsung S3 to be exact.

Downtown Cedar Run Pa. Hotel on one side and general store / ice cream shop on the other. It counts because it has its own zip code. Ha.

Without the bike.DSCF1174.jpg instructions are confusing, with or without the bike?

........... instructions are confusing, with or without the bike?
.

Subject/theme for the week was stated to be (without restating all the rules/instructions) "downtown" .
General instructions for the entire game (first post) may not exactly say, but does imply that photo should include the bike, and discussions early on did confirm that photo should include bike (and be your bike, and you took picture). Other general rule/instruction is to submit only one picture.
And we havent gotten too fussy about if you actaully took the picture, maybe your passenger did, as long as you were involved.

Now last week was "bike casting shadow", and was stated that bike itself not need be in frame of picture, but did need to be a bike's shadow.

Short answer: Yes, photo needs to have bike, your bike, your picture of your bike (or the bike was your bike in your picture).

Back in the first ten or fifteen posts in this thread we discussed whether the picture had to be taken by you or if someone else could take it. That really doesn't matter as long as it is or was your bike in the picture. That being said, yes, you need to have a bike in the pic. Of course there are times when an entire bike can't be captured in the pic and still get the background the photographer was trying for. That hasn't affected the fun factor of this game. Even part of a bike in the picture keeps the game revolving around motorcycling. A picture of a waterfall without a bike does nothing for the spirit of the game unless there is a bike somewhere in the picture.

Hope this helps.

This is a picture of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I'm Up on mount Washington, on the Southside looking north. I was thinking about staying till dark, but I thought I better get going. It was pretty cool, not only for the view of the city but also the gathering of motorcycles. There was a Buel cafe styled motorcycle, a Yamaha 50th anniversary R6, one of them 250cc racers. A nice group of young folks. It was a nice afternoon in the city.

That is about as close as I would want to get to a downtown like that.

Ok..my pic...downtown Chemainus BC...about 50 kms up Island from Victoria...cool little town that has a ton of murals...

Downtown....? I dont like riding in large citys, especailly downtown.
Downtown... here? in this nearby small town? Downtown is about 2 1/2 blocks long.
Yah, I ride thru there sometime, but nothing there to have a picture of.

So, I got no pictures of any downtown in my archives.


But, this morning I rode downtown, got a cup of coffee and walked around looking at stuff.
Hey, there are a bunch of interesting buildings there. And I was there before most businesses opened, so only a few cars near the coffee shop and bakery, and most of downtown devoid of cars. Had my choice of parking spots.

Another cool pic...reminds me of that old Twilight Zone episode where no one is left except the mannequins and the last man on earth(you) with everything left intact but no sign of human life! I kind of expect the next shot to show a large hand coming down grabbing the toy bike and moving it elsewhere....maybe that was another episode? Something about dolls and a toy gift(a human, again you) for the alien kid.
