Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

ok the 23rd Photo Competition is now open for entries:D

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

my, that's a hard one.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

er no its not
you have waste pipes down pipes water pipes gas pipes in the house
you have tubes of glue, makeup comes in tubes I think :):confused:
your car has Pipes exhaust pipes water pipes etc

the hard part is taking a photo that looks good:D

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Yes, I know about pipes and tubes....there are pasta tubes, lipstick tubes......and you are right.....it is quite difficult to make a downspout or a drainpipe look appealing.
But, as always I will do my best :D

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Good one Mick! A challenge for sure. Hmmmmm... Tobacco pipes, wind pipes (no!), tunnels? They're tubes I guess. Just thinking out loud - not always a good thing especially in early morning LOL

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Well, I have got 4 in...not overly inspiring, but I have given it a shot

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

I've put 4 in but my pics are not showing. Any ideas?

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Looks like they didn't upload, is the size to big, I find I have to reduce my pictures down to get them to upload.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Can see the pics in member gallery here - Max under the singing Tree - Accrington Photo Gallery
Did you upload to wrong place?

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Frank I have clicked on the link and find I have uploaded a picture very similar to yours, as you were the first I will ask Mick to remove it. Mick if you are reading this please delete my "pile of pipes" I will upload another picture.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Has the PM system stopped working again ?:D

this is the last time I will respond to requests to delete/edit etc in thread posts please use the PM system .
photo deleted:p:)

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

You are right Mick, I should have PM'd, in mitigation it was getting late and I discovered after doing all the uploading I had uploaded an identical image. Had it still been there today I would have PM' as per the correct way of doing, but my Horlicks was getting cold.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Turning out to be an excellent choice of subject - already lots of great photos entered. Very interesting to see the different interpretations. Going to be very hard to choose which one to vote for.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

I agree, Dotti. I thought it was going to be a hard theme at first, but the ideas keep coming in! For my entries I was intrigued by some strange looking glass pipes at the local tattoo parlour. I tried to screw up my courage to go in there with my camera, armed with all sorts of excuses. But I chickened out. Maybe it's for the best :)

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Why don't you get a tattoo done?

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Oh NO!
I have gone to some lengths to get a good snap.......I almost broke my neck on some slippery rocks at the swallow falls(as long as I didn't break the camera..it was alright) but I would draw the line at getting a tattoo just so that I could get a pic of some tubes.

I don't care how tasteful the tattoos are...they are not my thing at all...on men or on women.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

I thought about getting a tattoo once years ago, but chickened out then too. I don't like pain! And now I'm glad I didn't bother. I see all these young people covered in them in very visible places, and imagine how they're going to feel later in life. A bit foolish, I'm guessing.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

No, maybe not.....it seems that there are more folk tattoo'd than not. I reckon it will be something to see someone without a tattoo in the future.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

ok remember folks uploads close tonight at about 10pm

There are some really good and imaginative photos in this comp well worth a look (and a vote ):)

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Ok voting is now enabled you have till Sunday about 10pm to have a look at all the great photos and vote.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Phew just got my five uploaded in time! I have lots more I could have used for this theme, will try and make an album.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Just got my vote in. It was really hard to choose - so many great shots!

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

I have voted -not many votes in so far -a wide variety of variations on the theme -was a hard choice!
Unfortunately I had used up my 5 slots or I would have put in a photo of my newly re-plumbed heating system which failed on day 2 of the house-move. Had a bit of a nightmarish week as I had to move a load of stuff and stop un-boxing things while a team of plumbers fitted antique looking external copper pipes to the radiators throughout the house, as a leak in the old pipes somewhere was blocking the boiler! Should all be hitched up tomorrow with luck as we're expecting a cold spell. After that the builder will fill up the holes they've drilled -paintwork will be touched up and I will allow myself a small nervous breakdown once I've finished cleaning everything (yet again!) and finally unpack.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Ok this comp is closed and the winner is ?????Turtle

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Well done Turtle.
Another great shot.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Well done Turtle, I thought you were going to give us a bit of a chance, but never mind the best photo won, there is always the next competition, possibly.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

just seen the next theme, a very interesting subject, I'm on your heals with that one.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

well done turtle ...

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Thank you all - I'm more than a little gobsmacked to win again, but it was Mick's theme that won in my book. It brought out a truly great set of photos from everyone! The theme of pipes gave us all a lot to work with. I quickly had to come up with an idea for the next Comp., and Margaret's reflection of herself in the window inspired it. Good luck to all!

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Congratulations!!! A worthy winner amongst so many good photos, and a great theme for Comp. 24. Will be interesting to see what members come up with. Now to put the thinking cap on the old noggin' for this.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Well done Turtle.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Thank you Walker. I voted for your P1010653. A wonderful shot, as is the one like it. Where was that taken?

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Congratulations Turtle!

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Am reflecting on what to post in the next competition ;) 5 amazing shots already in from Margaret - it's going to be a tough competition!

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Dianne, they might look amazing, but watch what is posted in the next few days and mine will pale into insignificance.
I like reflections, so it is something I look for in a shot.....though I don't always spot it :)

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

Thank youTurtle. The photo's were taken in the old underground reservoir at Clayton Le Woods Lancs. It was open to the public for a short time. It was largely built in 1884.

Re: New Photo Competition 23
 

All the more special then!
