Pic of the week game

[Baatfam]

I am voting for Trevor this week. Just a very nice photo. Good angles, good light, good work!

 

[dorkburger]

Voting for Jedz this week.

 

[Burque73]

Ah ha, so the chicken crossed to get a look at the Tux. Thanks for clearing that up, Justin.

Nice job Glen grabbing and posting a buzzer beating pic. Cool shot with low cloudsand/ or fog.

Gotta go with Dave this week though. Nice job, great photo.

 

[dorkburger]

Thanks Roger. Had lots of opportunities on our trip, but we didn’t stop much as both my cousin and me are somewhat ride deprived as of late and were busy.... riding. If I stopped at everything that caught my eye we wouldn’t have gotten far.

I have to go with Cowboy this week. Photos are for creating memories and this one will be on top of his pile for quite some time. Trevor's was a real close second showing the joys of riding a bunch of back country roads. Not that I've been that active here lately but I'm going to be mostly out of the loop until late September, leaving Thursday for an Alaska trip and not back until mid-late September. Woohoo.

 

[gustovh]

I am for Cowboy as well.

[steve murdoch]

Cowboy for me this week as well.
But if/when he wins i think Charmayne should choose the new topic.

 

[storm 64]

I'll vote for COWBOY as well. It's his turn.

 

[Jedz123]

I like glen's! I also love the effect of the clouds on the hills.

 

[kerrfunk]

Sorry not to get a pic in this week. My vote is for bccap​.

 

[dorkburger]

Tip for those frustrated by cell phone cameras.....
I purchased an app ($5) called ProCamera. I've yet to try all of its features, or say that I love it, but I do love the fact that in manual mode the user can pick what part of the screen to focus on and set exposure from independently. It helps when a bright sky is throwing off the overall exposure. Still unsure of the flash operation and if its able to be manipulated though. I also paid an extra $2 for the low light feature which I don't particularly like. Overall its pretty good though.

So I counted... Seven submissions and ten votes. I hope I'm not overstepping any bounds here, but:

Redman (Dave) 2
Trevor 1
Jedz 1
Cowboy 4
Glen (dorkburger) 1
Bccap 1

Cowboy, what do you have for us for the coming week?

[cowboyup3371]

Thanks guys.

How about some art this week:

This is painted on the wall of a fire station across the river and down the road a bit along one of my favorite riding areas

Fire station art by Scott Baker, on Flickr

 

[Burque73]

That's awesome. Gonna be some good ones this week I'll bet.

 

[trevor]

Great idea!

One of my favorite pic of my K1300R....this is in a little town up Island called Chemainus and there claim to fame are murals on the businesses....

 

[Burque73]

 

[cowboyup3371]

Wow Roger, fantastic picture

 

[Burque73]

Thanks Cowboy. I really like the fire station mural you posted as well. Great artistry there.

I had fun incorporating the bike into the "art".

 

[steve murdoch]

Great photo, Roger.

These 3 girls didn't even notice i was there.

 

[kerrfunk]

Great pix. Tough competition!

My submission is the wider view, although I am including a close up so you can enjoy the phrasing as well.
I have no explanation for the four inset busts at the top, but they are (L to R) Warren Buffett, Harry S. Truman, Bill Gates, and Ralph Nader.

Oh, this is an antiques building about a block and a half from my house. Notice the elephant on the motorcycle in the center!
