July ’15 Photo Comp - Water Transport

[Cuppa]

July’15 Photo Competition - ‘Water Transport’

This month’s competition topic has been chosen by our June winner TPC.

His choice is for this month’s topic is ‘Water Transport’ which offers a wide variety of possibilities. I look forward to seeing what you post.

Back to the monthly prize being the ‘kudos’ of being voted winner by your peers & the opportunity to choose the following month’s topic.

However if any individual member (or vendor member) has anything you wish to donate as a prize - either as a one off, or regularly, please contact me via PM. For those of you who are vendors exposure & good will in a thread regularly read by far more than those who participate can only help your business. PM me if you can assist. In the meantime I expect I’ll hear from AB (forum owner) if this is not acceptable for some reason.

Good luck all, & thanks TPC

Ps. Please read though the pink bit below if you haven’t done so yet. Ta.

Pps. It always helps to post a brief explanatory caption with your entry. :wink:

Regards
Cuppa

Entry 1

A boat towing another boat with the Birdsville Track Coopers Creek Ferry in the background.
The boat being towed was not allowed to go on the ferry as they had a rule of nothing being towed as the ferry was too small.

This is the frame for
a raft that my young
bloke and his mates
constructed from rope
they gathered on the
beach, and pine logs
they dragged to the river.
It kept them happily

Hey hey hey, I cracked it for a place, thanks to all who voted for me. Didn't think I had a chance with the quality of the pics in here.
Well done, we certainly have some great photographers and even better subjects to photographs.

Nice 44' lifeboat pic from Caanaadaa... It's spelt 'Sidney' just north of Victoria ( sorry, not to from hometown ). Missed this months photo comp, have a lot of pictures up the inside passage and around Vancouver Island. ..

[TPC]

Where is the new comp???

[Cuppa]

I wondered who might be first to ask. :)

I’m still waiting to hear from OzJeff, July’s winner, with the August topic. I’ve PM’d him but have had no reply. I was giving him until the weekend & if nothing heard thought I might choose a new topic myself.

Cuppa

[ozjeff]

Whoops - my bad. PM's aren't coming in as emails at the moment for some reason.

Damn I had a topic in mind for if I won ever again, but it's escaped me. Will have a cuppa, then let Cuppa know.

[ozjeff]

That is a great photo, where did you take it from?

From the balcony on cruise ship I was on.

[Cuppa]

ozjeff has had his cuppa, let me know, & the new comp is now up & running. We have another prize this month.
