how about a photo comp?

[gurtwurz 792]

nice photography skills darryl, thats a talent you have there mate.

 

 

so it's a go then chaps?

 

best we work out some rules and we could get going for june 1st then...

 

how about like this-

 

we put up a photo of the month post every month, and theen with ians help, each month take a poll to vote the winner, come next year we put each months winner in another poll and vote photo of the year.

 

you can only enter a photo you have taken whilst hunting, but that photo can be of anything you've seen on your trip thats made you think'that'd make a nice photo', be it landscape, your dog, wildlife, a portrait of two mates wandering round like elmer fudd, as long as you've taken the shot on a mooch.

 

that months winner cannot post for the next 2 months in order to give everyone a chance to win, and it not be 'the best of' one persons pictures, ie they would only potentially win 4 out of 12 months.

 

if anyones got any ideas to make this a cracker, then nows the time to post em fellas

 

cheers, wurz

It's a brilliant idea to have a photo comp. Might get the section back together after the bloody idiotic goings-on here with scammers and dipsticks lately.

 

I would suggest that hunting pics of kills and bags be disqualified. Otherwise, pics of us hunting/stalking with our rifles should be included, just not the outcomes. This should be an opportunity for some creative thinking about the landscape/environment we hunt over, the little wildlife moments that we see. There's many a moment I've been out and seen wild deer or a badger, or a sunset or dawn light on my permission and wished I had a camera. This comp might yield up those magic moments some of us would be lucky to capture.

 

Andy, There'll be some beautiful photos we can shoot, around the permission. My daughter Pippa knows how to post pics through a laptop. We'll get her onboard!

Sounds like a plan, Simon

 

I do have what I think are some really nice landscapes taken over the past few weeks that I'd like to post so if Pippa's cool with showing a useless technophobe how to do it, that'd be great

 

I think you've hit on a great idea, Wurz, nicely done, mate

[Marksman 934]

Cheers for the comments....

 

They were all taken with my "big" camera, which doesnt go on ANY mooches due to the cost of the gear.

I'm by no means a professional but love the hobby. Me n a pal do a few weddings too.

 

I'm loving the idea though

[fry 209]

sounds good to me i will start takin a proper camera out

 

So we`re gonna get our asses kicked , come on Fry , what we up against

ha ha i aint no david baily i usually take pics on me dirty cheap phone but i do have a toshiba mini dv that does 8 mega pixel stills its smaller than me tasco range finder gizmo and one of me permissions is very picturesque. so that me game bag full of stuff rifle rest, m&s picnic sheet,cider and now camera i still end up draggin me bunnys around bt there toes.

[fry 209]

Yup, Im in,

I think there should definitely be a 'no gory pics' rule, if dead quarry pictures are taken they should be done with the utmost respect for the quarry, so blood splattered brains and guts are out.

 

What do you all think?

yeah sounds about right

[fry 209]

few bits of my stuff, landscapes, portraits and a self portrait......

 

 

self portrait with my car...

 

your a pro mate good pics

[fry 209]

u got no worrys bust this is my standard ha ha

thats the 400 i bought off you for my lad cheers for it its still perfect.

[silentshot1 206]

I'm more Stevie Wonder than David Bailey but I'll give it a crack!

 

Great idea!

[gurtwurz 792]

just another thought, after what millsy said about making it a calender, what if we did bundle the final winners up as one, and sell it to raise money for help for heroes or similar?

 

cheers, wurz

[mikeyblue 28]

Im up for it lads, cracking idea!

[Phantom 631]

No silhoettes of Paul :11:, no totty, only stuff seen while hunting?

So I'm limited to headstones, bunnies and their holes, horses and grass

That's a great idea

[Buster321c 1,010]

Wurz , again a fantastic idea

 

Fry , you dont change , i`ll never forget that cheesy grin

 

Daryl , crackin pics mate , stunning , as ive said before you handle that camera very well

 

Tony , ive taken some very ( even if i do say so myself ) good pictures of gravestones , a tweek here and there with Lightroom , and you can create some great looking pictures .

 

Thats a point , all pictures must be as taken , no tweeking as its a bit unfair really .
