Pic of the week game
- Thread starter Burque73
- Start date
You could say, "My bike at the peak of golden hour."
Ok...here is my pick pic...
This was taken almost 6 years ago...Me, my wife. my cousin and his wife did a 7 day trip through BC on my 1980 GS750e and my 1983 GS1100e...two up and loaded with gear...never missed a beat!
What made this special was that I had not seen my cousin in 10 years and he flew out here (his first time on a plane at 55)..We reconnected....It was my cousin Danny that got me into bikes when I was 5 and he was 15...he would take me for rides on his honda 70...my dad co-signed a motorcycle loan for Danny when he was 16....10 years later he returned the favour and did it for me to buy a brand new 1983 GS750e....
He has been here twice since and is coming this May when we will ride my bikes to California..can't wait!
This was behind Whistler near Duffy lake...always liked this pic...thought it reminded me of a cool 70s album cover...lol

Roger Burque: That is a peak, well, not a definite singular pointy peak, but sure higher that surrounding landscape. And you go to effort to get your bike in the nice scene. WHen I go to similar tourist scenic overlook or the beach, I see people get out of thier car, walk to front of car, go to edge of parking lot to take picture. I want to holler at them "Hey, your picture aint no different that all the other tourist here tonight. Hey, 5-10 years from now you will look at that picture and discard it."
But what I sometimes say is, "I can take picture for you with you in it." And take one or two there. Then "Here, step back a few steps, stand by you car, let me take picture with you and your car too."
Kerry Keerfunk: Great the way that peak was peeking into view. The picture is definatly the bike and the scene with little distraction form the main elements, and the peak is one of the main elements.
Gusto Vince: great scene. And an extra merit point for you for including Stator (?).
Trevor: a great posed pic, and the forethought and the effort it must have been to get up to that view (I assume was like what can see on other side of road). And you were there at the right time of day for that location to light up the road and the rock cuts. Great enjoyable picture for us motorcycle foks and for general public actually. I think if anyone where describing that photo they would say a lot about the road and the bikes and the people and the mountains rock cuts and the valley and how must he have gotten this view.... and say all that without saying "peak". Great great picture.
Vote: My vote is for Sandy.
Great great shot of impressive mountain peak in such prominent view. And the pattern of the snow and the valley and ridges up the side.

My vote is for Kerrfunk this week
Voting for Sandy... his mountain pics are epic....
After peeking at all the pics, kerrfunk's peak piqued my interest the most this week.
Another great batch of pictures.
Liked them all, but Burque, gustovh, Sandy, Jedz and kerrfunk are the ones that stand out to me.
And out of all of those, I'll vote for kerrfunk.
Looking away from the camera, really captured the "just stop and look with wonder" thing that happens sometimes on a bike.
And it looks like film, (might not be, but I like it).

I agree to a point, but even the most creative photo still has to meet the theme, don't you agree? And also, IMO, "most creative" and "best photo" are two different things.
When I vote, and this is just me understand, I look for the best photo that meets the theme.
My photo fully meet the theme, but wasn't really a great photo. A few photos were very good, but didn't meet the theme.
Looking back through the last year, most of the winning photos did both.
