Pic of the week game

I'm voting for Steve Murdoch. "I love my GS 1000e so much, I think I'll buy another just like it"
 
Voting for Sandy. Two sets of two, a motorcycle set and a rider set.
...
 
Hmmmm, Murdoch or Redman.....

Looks like Steve Murdoch!
 
Two ...of the same thing....?
three or four pic that I like for that.

kerrys shot of the two hubs is better than what I was able to do after multiple attempts.

i think I recall Sandy’s pic, and how he obtained it. I then adopted the same technique for pic of my son and I together.

will vote for Keerfunk .

SteveMurdoch with the matched pair of GS's and the matched pair of stones. Redmans pic is a fine answer to the theme also.
 
Good morning! Hope y'all had a good Valentines Day!

Right now the vote count is:

One vote for Kerrfunk
Two votes for Sandy and Burque73
Currently tied at four votes each is Agemax and steve murdoch
(Someone please double check)

Both are very good photos, and I like the bikes in each.
Looking at them strictly from a photographic point of view, I will give my late, tie-breaker vote to Agemax with that wonderful landscape.
It would still be very nice without the bikes.

So if no one objects to my breaking the tie, Agemax wins with five votes!

(If anyone does object to my breaking the tie, now is the time to speak up.)
 
thanks guys, its getting difficult to pick a new theme now, does anyone have a list of all the previously used themes?
 
Maybe we could discuss whether a theme needs to be permanently retired after one use. After 100+ weeks the pool of most obvious and popular themes, the ones people are most likely to have a picture of in their collection, could be getting a little shallow. Maybe a certain period of time before eligible again? Winners could either go classic or creative.

I have no problem with repeats, and sometimes revisiting a theme gives great results.
One of the problems I see is many try to be too specific, creating ideas that belong more in the "tag" game.
Themes, like "reflections" "orange" "decay" "light and dark" etc., are wide open, creative, and there is an endless supply of them.
The trick I've found, is to forget motorcycles at all, when search for a theme.
I've also stolen themes from one of my photography forums, who do this kind of thing all the time.

Or....Google "Photo Contest Theme Ideas"

EDIT: Retiring a theme would be OK, I guess, but it would create another record to keep.
 
Ok to save wasting time, i will pick a theme that i dont think has been used before, but if it has, it will give you all a chance to show a different picture. We in the UK are in the clutches of storm Dennis at the moment so i thought maybe we could try and brighten up the mood a bit.
We have had weather phenomon, moody skies so how about beautiful BLUE SKY.

Not the sun, or funny looking clouds, just a predominent beautiful blue sky.


Here is my entry, taken during the summer last year......

No need to permanently retire a theme. That seems to be more of an unspoken rule really that we don't repeat them. It would be nice, however, if we can use new or previously unused photos. Even then, there have been pics reused that fit multiple themes. One that comes to mind is Trevor's shot of the salt flats. Used in the Big Sky theme and another previous one as well. I really like that pic so it sticks in my mind.

Classic or creative, nice idea.


There isn't a cloud in the sky here today and since my job fell through, I've got the day off. Now I'm torn between installing the new shoes (Shinko 230's) on my GS, or running the old ones a little while longer since they still have some life left in them and the weather is so nice.
 
I kept a record of half of 2018 and all of 2019 and then I took a break. No particular reason.
I don't mind record-keeping again. I'll jump on the records on Monday.

So. Blue sky.
MY ENTRY. (which I took last year for the "big sky" theme) :


This one is NOT MY ENTRY, but it's a cool sky pic that my daughter took near my brother's home in Geneva (but we were actually in France)
