Pic of the week game

Here is a cool GS-850 that gets a lot of votes....
My motorcycle (FJR) is parked up next to the BMW. 20210611_161820.jpg
 
Have a busy week.
Here is first I could find.
THis year BC.
Dale Dogma 850GK track bike (yes, 850, GK bags, he takes to track days), other GSs. My RT (same as in Norm Storm pic) way in back, can barley see.

Maybe the multiple GSs will deserve enough extra points to counter balance having the truck in the picture.

>>later note
oh, this pic was this year. In most years I park along that row, but I did not park there this year…. So this pic does not include my bike…. Fraud…. Cheat…. Stealing….. only way I can win is by fraud ! !

I may be able to find a replacement this evening, maybe not.

Here I found this, my GK cam cap with reflection of other GS
not too sharp/clear, but has my bike.
2017 BC bike of Greg?Bossler?

Ha, a familiar scene. I was going to post a pic in the same spot taken after the rain. Steve's 850 next to mine has the blanket taken off. Pretty sure Redman took the pic I was thinking about so will use something else.

Question.....Is it the bike, the scene, the composition, the mood that gets votes? Over the last five years or so of playing this thing, you could say many bikes here have gotten lots of votes.

I've always considered this a straight photo contest. The theme is just a starting point for us, and is not important to my vote.
I vote for the photo that works best for me.
All the usual stuff, exposure, framing, composition, leading lines, balance, clear subject, etc., but it also has to tell a clear story.:cool:
 
Ya know, after I posted that "this motorcycle gets a lot of votes" it made me think.(I was going to edit it, but I didn't) Sure it's a beautiful motorcycle. But it's more beautiful with a mountain background or sunset or whatever the subject it's in. That's what gets the votes!
The picture I posted fits the theme and kind of tells a story. " It's raining, I'm 2,500 miles away from home, I might not look my best but I'm running good and I'm here"...
That's what I see when I look at that picture. Plus it gives me a chance to use Roger's sweet GS in a photo contest! Haha.
 
Hopefully no wrong answers. For me, the photo means little, it's the picture that gets my attention. Framing, exposure, leading lines, composition, and balance means little as long as I like the picture....

What is the difference between a photo and a picture?? Curious...:D

Think about this, maybe good framing, exposure, leading lines, composition, and balance is why you like the photo...:)
 
Strange to see my bike turn up twice in a thread about somebody else's bike. I have no explanation for that. Maybe there isn't one. For the record, it's a 1000G.

Scott's picture was taken from the Cherahola Skyway, just a couple weeks after my first low-side in some invisible gravel. Scott and Jim generously let me take the lead up US129, claiming they've never been there before. I saw gravel in every corner, whether it was there or not.
 
Well, Photograph has framing, exposure, leading lines, composition, and balance and all means something... A picture can have these but not mandatory, doesn't mean much as it's just a picture... Kind'f like the difference in a lawn and a yard, lawn all neat and groomed to really look nice, a yard is just a yard, dirt around house with grass growing in it.

Very good....
To me, a photo is a picture, but a picture may not always be a photo. It could be a painting, drawing, etc.
However, you are correct about lawns and yards....and I love your description....Nicely done...:cool::smug:

And you did Great! BTW I had been on 129 a time or three by then.............
 
OK, found a pic with another GS. I was escorting Stator over to Andy Vanice. Shortly after they got acquainted, Andy got lost at sea......sort of. Covid caused all of the ports to close and nobody would let him dock. Stator, on the other hand, was marooned here in Albuquerque for a bit.

Many moons ago. Probably around 2003-04 when a family friend organized a memorial ride in honor of my father. My long suffering ES (it was already on its second fairing after a lowside) next my former E that I foolishly sold to my brother. He soon sold it... in the pic my brother is leaning on my late uncle's shoulder. My uncle put 68k miles on that Triumph Legend before passing from injuries from a moto wreck in 2013.

NE GSR Rally from a few years ago. There is a person and a couple bikes in this pic that are no longer with us. A great gathering. Good food and very rowdy partying.

My GS Skunk is about the 7th one down the line. I'm afraid I can't remember whose 750 that is.

That was Sam's. He rode up from Boston area and shared his pictures of the cross country trip he did on it. It was a beautiful bike.
 
Good Morning, GSR! Sorry I'm late, but was watching F1 qualifying...

OK, let's review our photos and vote. First the theme of the week:
