Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

I'm voting for Burque73. As someone who has seen numerous whales and manta rays breach and never been fortunate enough to have a camera pointed in their direction at the time. Nailing a lightening bolt impresses me.....
 
I'ma vote for Burque too. Bob baatfam, that's a terrific photo but it doesn't say "atmospheric phenomenon" to me. But you knew that when you hail-Mary-ed it ;)
 
Rich somewhere under the Rainbows for me with honorable to Kerry and Eli.
 
my "take" on bobs bike at about that same time.
i was trying to capture the array of waterdrops, while minimizing distracting stuff in the parking lot.

but, image wasnt as nice as what I was seeing (which often happens)


maybe something more like this would have done better

okay.... back to voting....
 
Saturday early AM, I think is AM pacific time also.
(woke up, not getting back to sleep, so might as well do something)

Tally

Burque 7, Eli 2, Rich 6.

Perhaps someone should check & verify my count.
 
Yup. 13 submissions, 16 votes: 8 for Burque, 6 for Rich, 2 for Eli.

Very cool! Thanks for the votes. I went out after breakfast for a 125 mile ride and grabbed a few new photos. I still need to see how they turned out, so please bear with me and I'll have something up shortly for the new theme.

I had no idea how many folks had participated in this game. Thanks for compiling that data, Kerry.
 
Wow. I had no idea how many were here. Come up with a good one ! I’m gonna ride a bit tomorrow maybe I can get a winner, lol
 
Finally got a chance to sit at my desktop to go through some photos. After taking way too many pictures of this weird rock this morning, I didn't have time to look for other options before I had to get to work.

So, that's what I got for the theme. Weird, odd or somehow interesting rock formations.

Thanks Glen.

I'm guessing rocks aren't high on other people's ooh gotta stop and take a photo list.

How do you guys feel about the time frame we use for setting the theme, voting and picking the new theme?

What I'm wondering is, for instance, if we bump the vote day back to Thursday, submit new theme on Friday, then folks have all weekend to get a new photo.

Any thoughts?

I sometimes wish we had all weekend to get a new photo, yes.
Is there anybody it would be a hardship for if we voted on Thursday?
 
Still, there are only a few players each week that go out for specific theme photos.
Most everyone pulls something out of their files that they really like.

Let's see if we get any kind of a consensus before we change things up...

(I do think Friday is a better day for most to study photos...but everyday is a day off for me :))

I don't have any rock photos in my files, (at least with a bike in it), and I can't ride this week, so........
Time to get creative....:onthego:
 
My entry for this weeks theme is NOT this picture! I like it but its a photoshop of Gus so it doesn't really count.

Therefore i am going to submit this photo i took on a ride out this afternoon.

I'm thinking whoever has the current theme set would be most affected. Sometimes new submissions come in at the last minute, but they're mostly in way before the deadline.

Getting creative, that's what I like about you, Bob. Always thinking outside of the box.

Agreed, if we can get several players to chime in and give feedback, that would be helpful.
