Title: Photo competition: Transport
Post by: XEntity on August 17, 2010, 20:41:00 PM
Vote against the following Brief: "Transport" in the widest possible sense of the word, I dont want to limit creativity as I think the experimental topic worked very well and is a tough subject to beat!

So any form of transport is fine from Shoes to space shuttles, doesnt have to be the whole item can be part of it from its workings to the full subject. I want to keep it quite open so everyone will get a chance to take a photo of some sort and allow a variety of photos. As the subject is transport anything that gives the sense of motion would be preferable, but a static photo can still enter and win if its better than the rest!

Voting ends at end of day on the 24th

Doh! I thought I had next week for this as well, am heading home and intend to get some photos (although I do always say that).

Looking forward to the next topic!
Voted for Binary, great action shot.

Id have thought just about everyone who passes that and has a camera takes a similar picture, I know I would.

I very much doubt Sam is sad enough to cheat in a forum comp which is only for fun and the glory of victory.

I didnt actually say you had, I said it looked incredibly like another picture, which I dont have access to.

As Mongoose says there will be millions of near identical ones out there though.

Wheres the new photo topic thread then?

Yes, my apologies for thinking that was a slur on my integrity.

Ill let the boss post up the thread, but the theme for the next competition is "Lettering" - interesting signs, whatever.

Yes, my apologies for thinking that was a slur on my integrity.

I let a significant amount of time pass between my posts, sometimes the only way to get a response is to provoke one.

If you feel Ive been excessive in this then I apologise but if you saw a photo that looked very like one you have seen would you not be suspicious?

No, because

1. Its me: I think Ive been around long enough to be known.
2. Its tekforums: Do you think Id "cheat" in a "for fun" competition with 20 users?

Of all the people Ive met Sam despises any type of competition cheating the most and Im not surprised he felt insulted.

changing the subject, do I get a wooden spoon for getting absolutely no votes at all?

No. Be nice. Im sure everyone has seen pics of feet before...

Its a small forum competition.

There isnt a prize.

Sam has posted in previous threads that he has purchased a Nikon D5000

The pic in question was taken by a Nikon D5000

It is fairly likely that the picture submitted by Sam was indeed taken by Sam. Ive got no idea where that star trek thing is but Im guessing there are lots of pics of it from star wars fans all over the interweb. Getting suspicious because youve seen a similar pic doesnt make sense - FWIW if Id had time to enter Id have submitted a pic of either the London eye or HMS Belfast moored along the Thames - youd likely have seen a similar pic of either of them.

I saw at least 5 shots taken within seconds of Binarys of that same jet taking off, the two Red Arrows crossing which I claim to have attempted is one of the most popular shots from their display, and Im sure Ive seen one of those pink things Pete posted before.......

For the record I didnt think you were trying to win by cheating, I thought you might be trying a joke on us. Bit like someone sending a print of the Mona Lisa in for a painting competition.

I was waiting for you to say fooled you all.

Seems there are a lot of  :drama: people on these forums too.
