Pic of the week game
- Thread starter Burque73
- Start date
Parked on the beach.
(No its not. Is on edge of parking lot covered with sand.)
Humm, now that you mention it. Yep, you are correct. I'll edit that.
.
Yes, In a way you are correct.
In fact, most real photo contest dont allow any comment or descriptions , other than maybe a title.
WHen I said I will remove my comments, I was jokeing, in two ways:
- acting like I was concerned about being disqualified.
- removing my comment, but yet leaving my comment appear in the quote.
Over the years here I have come to understand this game is partly photo contest and partly story and photo sharing. Yes, entries made based on the topic/subject of the week.
But some votes might be for the photographic merits and how well it meets the theme/topic,
and some votes might be for intersting interpetation of the topic/theme...
... and some picture, say, bad cluttered picture of the entire gas station parking lot and awning, poorly exposed, with bike on other side of a pump and trash cans might get votes cuz reminds the voter of thier first bike or becuase they always wanted a header pipe like the one can barley see in the picture.
... and some fairly ordinary picture, say, bike in a driveway, the poster might share some signifant occurance in thier life shortly after they took that picture, and maybe they get votes, or maybe they get some comraderie.
Anyway, it comes down to what criteria the voter uses.
I have come to enjoy the photos and the stories. (ALthough I choose to vote based on the photo per the topic/subject.)
<< later comment
Oh, those are both you. Okay.
I'm not sure where you're coming from rphillips?
I think the more explanation of a picture the marrier...
Plus, if this was a "real photo contest" Bob, Dave, Rich, Roger, and Dorkburger would win every week!
Like on the ADV forum. Some one will post a beautiful sunset picture, but doesn't tell you where it was taken. Kind of a useless picture to the viewer. In my opinion.
I want to imagine being there or plan on going there.
I did figure that out.
First time I tried this I walked out there and checked how sturdy it was by trying to rock sideways and jumping around. I checked the condition of all the boards, and saw where was supports underneath. ANd then I rode out there slowly, rode out there under power but slowly, was quite carefull as where I put down side stand. GOt some pictures.
WHen I went to leave, then I noticed the first part had a slope to it. Doah! Was hard to walk the bike backwards up that incline.
THis pic is after I learned to back down, so when went to leave, could ride up and off.
I got other pics from some other such occassions, at this park and at another park, 5 & 6 & 7 years ago. Havent done it since. Maybe getting less adventerous, maybe getting smarter. Maybe not feeling as agaile, not as nimble, less strength.
Oh, and, recent years they have not had that metal plate hinged ramp in place, leaving a 4-5 inch step. If it was at one park, I would think someone just lost it. But at both township parks and county park and city boat launch park nearby, they all stopped having such a metal hinged ramp. Maybe some new interpetation of some standard or policy, or maybe some supervisior heard about some goofey guy riding motorcykle out there.
PS: I got other pics of bike out on the boat launch dock, some over the water, some in the winter when the dock is stored in in the parking lot.
Some of those other pics of bike on dock, I think, are nicer than this one. But this one shows that metal plate hinged ramp, so I could tell that part of the story.
(See, I aint so much trying to win this photo game.)
That can't be right...
Don't guys do this when they want to install/remove engine single-handed? Oldgsfan?
I don't think I would ever try to remove an engine by myself! I have seen a video of a guy and his two kids trying to get a motor out by laying it on it's side like that. Didn't go so well for them.
Why not use the drain plug? Lol
^^^ What he said.
