How about a monthly photo competition?

[Steam]

Buckbuck gave me the idea, and I think it's a great one.
A monthly photo competition.
Something like this:

"The photo must be somewhat motorcycle related"

"Amateur photographers only please. You professional guys are awesome and will blow us all away."

"You have till the end of this month to post your photo in this thread, then we will vote."

"There's no way we can tell, but do try to take a photo and don't just post a stunning one you've taken in the past."

Then at the end of the month start a new thread labelled "Voting" and post all the photos again in one block, and have a poll. Oh, the poll only allows ten options eh? Hmmm...
Well maybe just do a popular consensus?
Some ideas...

[Freakshow]

Now all I have to do is down size it to fit on KB I m keen and will be back!

[Skyryder]

A whole bloody month.:shit: We're bikers. We don't have that attention span.

Sounds cool...gives me an excuse to go for another ride hehe.

[skelstar]

Sounds like an awesome idea. Need motivation to take more photos. Maybe appoint some judges to put the best 10 forward.

[kiwifruit]

sounds like a good idea to me :)

[shafty]

Sounds fun; My entry below.

May be an idea to have a theme each month (all motorcycling related) to keep pics current?

[skelstar]

Definitely a video comp as well. I'm happpy to run that if theres no objections.

[Mrs Busa Pete]

How about video as well? Maybe a separate comp.?

What like the one of you with someone showing you the way or is that someone giving you the learn:shutup:

[Cajun]

maybe see if couple of the 'professional' camera people do the inital judging and choose a # of photos for rest of people to vote for, but next thing is what price does the person get for having best photo?

maybe someone have access to cheap photo processing? and give the winner a copy of there photo in a 8x10 or simlar size photo of there choosing?

[skelstar]

I'm wondering how you stop people cheating?

I totally just took this picture down my street eh?

I guess we can make people enter videos via a youTube link/account.

[MidnightMike]

but next thing is what price does the person get for having best photo?

[skidMark]

give me a minute.

[Toaster]

Damn fine idea. I assume pics I take of naked babes on my bike has to be censored then?

[skidMark]

well that all depends, how big are thier tits?

[Deviant Esq]

Good idea, I needed motivation to get out there and take some photos of my bike. Saw this thread, looked out the window and thought 'It's a beautiful day... might as well head now now', so I kitted up and grabbed the camera, and headed up to the summit road. Here's a few of the pictures... I've scaled them down a bit and wiped my number plate, but other than that they aren't modified.

1. and 2. Summit Road near Sign of the Bellbird
3. A little further up the road

[Krusti]

Shit mate you certainly did, the numbers have all gone. Must have wiped bloody hard!

Bloody good road that eh?

[skelstar]

Like the second pic. Cool.

[tri boy]

This qualify?

[Hitcher]

How about somebody just does it? Post the rules and regulations in the first thread and then just see what happens!

Will there be fabulous prizes?

[skelstar]

Are the prizes you donate fabulous?

I think its just going to be kudos somehow.

[Highlander]

Photo of the month could go into the Calendar for 2008...?

[Edbear]

A great idea!

[Curious_AJ]
