Pic of the week game

[Spyder]

I have to go with Redman Dave this week. Getting lost is fun. Getting 7 (SEVEN) people lost is SKILL, lol... And to get STEVE lost is GOD like, lmao ! ! !

 

[dorkburger]

Voting for Sandy.
I actually like the fact that the bike is in shadow, and am drawn to it for that reason.

Hey Andy. Good of you to join in. That pic would have fit great into last week's tourist attraction theme. While here, if you feel so inclined, pick a photo you like and chime in to help decide who posts the next theme. Also pop in tomorrow to see what's next. Getting some pics for this thread would be a great excuse for us to go ride. Sunday may be nice weather let's, ugh, I'll just call you...

Several pictures caught my eye this week, and all of them told a story...Great theme, Scott!

Jedz123 and dorkburger both stood out to me.
The framing is great in both.
The portrait orientation works good with the bridge of Glen's.
And the little spots of bright colors bring out the detail in Jedz's.

But the two I really liked, broke a few traditional photographic customs.
A couple of long standing "rules" is that vehicles, (and people), should not face out of the frame, and should have more space in front of them, than behind them.
Somewhere to go, so to speak.

Well both Kerrfunk, and Burque73 broke both those conventions...And I think they look great.
In fact both pictures are very, very close to each other in composition, and feeling.
Both would make outstanding prints on the wall.

After spending considerable time studying them, my vote goes to Kerrfunk, only because I like the B&W effect just a little more.

OK, I'm finally getting a chance at the desktop PC and I see Baatfam's pics in all the posts. My phone right in front of me does not show any except the one Kerrfunk reposted.

I really don't think it it is you.
I use ImagShack for my everyday forum photos, including that one.
A few weeks ago, I had a similar problem with pictures not showing up on one of my laptops.
The next day all was well again...
So maybe them? Maybe I need to reevaluate the service I use.

 

[Burque73]

Since I'm snowed in and can't get to work yet I figured I'd count up the vote tally.

Looks like Kerrfunk, Sandy, Redman had one vote
Gustovh had two
Dave R and Trevor three
And finally Baatfam taking it with four.

Congrats Bob!

 

[Jedz123]

Congratulations Bob!

 

[Baatfam]

Congrats Bob!

Congratulations Bob!

Thanks guys! Never thought that one would win when I put it up. But that's the way the game goes.

Working on a subject that will be easy enough we can get some new players, but open enough we can be super creative.

It won't be a place or thing....

Stand by....

Cheers Bob Baatfam on the #1 entry this week!
Still wondering whether the pic was a result of creative production or

serendipity​

No secrets need be spilled though..

No secrets...Just dumb luck...LOL...

Last summer, after taken a near year hiatus from riding, (for a couple reasons), I finally went for a ride.
It was a beautiful day, and for the first time in a while, I was enjoying riding.
Decided to take a selfie to post to Facebook and let my friends know I was back in the saddle.

Don't know if I ever took a selfie before, but I was trying for a traditional Redman shot.
Didn't like the first one, because I wasn't looking at the camera.
My expression was probably a result of trying to figure out how to take a selfie on a cell phone.

So I took another and used that:

Great selfie story, Bob! Congrats

I took some time working out this week's theme....
It needed to be something "easy," so maybe we can get some new blood.
Yet something wide open to interpretation, so that those that wish, can get creative.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think this subject fits my requirements very well.

Ready????

This week's subject/theme is....

THREE or if you prefer 3

Three what you ask? Three anythings, or just a 3.
Just put a bike, or bikes, or part of a bike, that you've owned, in the picture.

Three GS motorbikes
Three other motorbikes
Three riders, one bike (we've had this)
Three cylinder bike
Three, three cylinder bikes
Three magnificent trees
Three mountain peaks...
Three way junction (roads or electrical)
3rd Street
A giant number three
3 as a race number
3 or 33 or 333 as an address, or license plate
And so on....

3 or Three anything....Questions?

I can put up examples, if anyone wishes, but I haven't picked my entry yet.

I'm going to resubmit a picture I used last month for "favorites".

Rusty and Barry and I used to ride together a few times a month. They were members of my church when I got my first bike. Barry was getting back into biking at the same time, and he got a Goldwing, but he was a little cautious at the beginning so we traded bikes for a month or two: my GS550L for his Goldwing. Ha.

Let the good times roll! Three guys, three different bike makes, three generations (okay, that's a stretch, but Barry's retired, Rusty's getting there, and I'm in my 40s)
My entry for "Three".

A fun little road in Southern Ohio can be found on the other side of the river from Maysville, Kentucky. Ohio State Hwy 763 is about 12 1/2 miles of very nice twisty road with several areas of no shoulders dropping into a wooded creek and switchbacks that pop up as you crest a hill. Go too fast through some of them and you are liable to run into a farmer's field or off the edge of the road. Last year was the only time I really didn't like riding it much as it was hot and the recently laid tar snakes made the Bandit feel like I'd lose it in a couple of the turns.

You will need to zoom in to see the sign if you want proof only because you really cannot pull off before the stop sign without blocking traffic or letting your bike fall off to the right.

"Three bikes" is rather easy around here. Had a couple of shots with us lined up, ready for our "Little Ride" last summer, but chose to use one that was on our consolation ride, when the "Little" one got cut short.
