Old Hippie Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 OK, So a few of us initially set out to win this contest (as if anyone had a prayer if I took it seriously), but the more secure in our manhood among us banded together, and decided to hold back our top choice photos, and give the new commers a chance. Our strategy seems to be working. So in the event we lose, it is because we wanted to, not because our photos were bad...ah right guys...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bust Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Looks like mission accomplished OH. What was that famous saying "ask not what your board can do for you, but what you can do for your board" something like that. Anyway I am so glad I held back on my entries to encourage people to enter. I will however post the winning photo I decided at the last moment not to enter in my gallery after voting finishes to prove a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yes, I might do the same, just so the guys can see what a decent photo looks like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCgringo Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Its always nice to have an even contest , most of us with our Dollar store film cameras that have gone thru a few X-ray machines on its way to LOS , And then the "ringers" that just sit back waiting till the end to pull out a winning shot from their "portfolio" Lets make it even , anyone with a camera that costs more than 3 beers has to take pictures without a battery in their fancy "Eel lectronic" cameras Lets see how good you are now OC PS.....now how do these pin hole cameras work ?

Old Hippie Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Frankly, I could take a better picture with a candle, some film andf a coke bottle, then most guys could take with the best cameras, but I digress, the point is, we wantewd to lose on purpose, to be nice to the new guys...

Solomick Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 So this is another thread full of excuses. :: Why can't you guy's just admit that you have had it to easy for too long. You will just have to unlock some of them so called 'A' grade photo's you lot keep harping on about for next month. I thought the name of this thread should have been "Humble Pie" Well having look at the photo's this month I can clearly state that I will not be winning, but at least I can take it like a man, no excuses or damage control hype, no "I had a new camera and was still experementing" just the clear stated fact that my picture were indeed shit. By the way who's starting the next Hype thread for Feb's contest as I enjoyed the last and it was a good laugh. :rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'll be away in LOS for most of February, so maybe you can get it started? As for our "A" grade material, it is hanging in galleries and published in the finest works... not that you would know that... Oh, what is next month's theame anyway...?
