Photo Contest

Its the little "M" on the round thingy .it stands for manual... if you have a point and shoot it doesn't matter you can't manually focus any way...but here is a trick... point the camera at an object let it lock on that one...... then pan back over to your subject object.don't let off the button or you'll be doing it all over again........
..are you ssure thats a VFR in the pic....... looks like it could be the loch ness monster..... ound:

Nicely done Meatloaf I give it two :thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

Its not just point and shoot. Way too many options to mess with and "auto" doesn't do so well. Night mode does quite well if I have it on a stand, but I didn't have it with me on the bike and my shaky ass hands don't work so well.

Do I have the official word from the judges so that I can post the next challenge?

 

It is OK . GOOD PIC.......A winner?

 

Meatloaf, good job man!!!!!!!! THAT'S what I'm talkin' about. Definately a good entry, have we hammered out the time limit on this one yet so we can compile and vote, it's kinda hands down right now, I say we get more entries. It's yay nay time fellers.

 

Toe said I win via chat... does that count? I don't think we should change rules mid-contest. Adding the for clarification is ok so that someone doesn't pull something lame. I'm not saying the other xmas light pic was lame at all... but I could see someone buying a box of lights... plugging them in behind the vfr in the garage... and snapping the pic. The clarification on this one was OK IMHO to get a better picture. The time extention shouldn't be OK as it changes original rules.

 

Not my rodeo, but I say he wins and we should post more in spirit of the season! Stall on next photo challenge and lets have some more Christmas pic's. :biggrin: It is up to last winner to pass the torch.

 

I say we start another thread for Xmas related photos. As many as possible should be collected and we can use them for the next calendar. Maybe a theme calandar based upon pics that fit holidays per month would be an idea.

What say you Metallica? You're the previous winner.

 

Not a bad idear about a seperate post, meat.
As for this contes I say that was a a winner, and lets move it forward.
Challenge?

 

Challenge: Lets see a VFR in front of a police station with the front tire in the air. I don't care if it is city, county, or state police. Special props if you can get the pic with the police in the background looking at it. Two wheels in the air do not count and the rear wheel must be on the ground.

 

WOW .your inviting a ticket thats for sure.....hmm

 

No time extensions, no matter what, suck it up!!

You make a good point sir, changing rules no good, not like we're playin Calvin ball here. So the I vote Meatloaf wins!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking outside the box, but I don't have the things required to pull this one off, who's got it?????

 

You want the front TIRE in the air, but the rear WHEEL on the ground, hope there's some soft ground in front of those cop shops or we're gonna have some scratched up dented rubber holders!!

And I like the idea about the seaparate thread for Christmas pics, Meatloaf, you should probably have the honor of starting this one.

 

I didn't mean it like that LOL. Bike should remain intact with tires on both wheels. We aren't trying to sacrifice VFR's here. Just get some good pics.

 

maybe epic fail...?

Even if this doesn't count, I still got to take my wifes bike out in the rain to snap a pic of this early christmas present from a buddy, in front of the nearest police station I could find.

No offense LEO's its just a joke, not a real sentiment.

 

LMAO... I could almost let that slide. Almost but can't... damn good one though.

 

As you can see guys, all I got is a phone, no camera.
Two megapixel, no flash. It does pretty good in the day time, but night time it sucks.
Crusty is probably rolling in his grave.

 

hee heeee...........

 

I was gonna go do it by the real police station, but its saturday night... Didn't want the cops paying attention to me rather then the real idiots that are probably out there right now.

 

Did anyone here ever see saw? 1-7.
Meatloaf really did make a damn good riddle. I played. I lost. I got the PM.
It is a good one.
