July '17 Photo Comp - ABANDONED

[TPC]

This month’s topic, chosen by our June winner clubbyr8

Abandoned- Could be old house, car, truck, train machinery etc... I believe everybody should have photos that would suit this topic and you can always head out and take more.

New forum members very welcome (& encouraged) to enter.

regards
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.

Regards
TPC

It`s towards that way GQ, depending which way you are heading. It is on the Eyre Hwy not far from the Balladonia Road House. It`s between Norseman and Madura Pass.

Can you change it so there is just one photo in your entry please.
They look great btw.

[Boinzo]

Hey TPC - it's meant to be all 3 together. I shot each with the intention of having them displayed together. It's called a Triptych (in arty-talk).
If you don't think it's ok - just remove it mate... sorry.

I think we should allow it, just hope I don't get in trouble with Cuppa for not enforcing his rules but he would probably agree it looks good. :)

[Boinzo]

Thanks TPC. I'm happy to remove it if you'd prefer - I don't want you in trouble mate! Although Cuppa is probably enjoying himself too much on his trip to notice! :-)

Leave it up as it is.

Ha! Thought I wouldn't notice .........I've got comms here in White Cliffs tonight.
TPC's the man now.
I may well give the triptych a vote though. :)

[TPC]

This months competition are now closed for new entries so its time to vote, running a bit late as I flew back from Melbourne today and the flight was delayed so just got home.

Fortunately AB has made the upload of photos much better so little thumbnails should be a thing of the past

You can vote for as many entries as you like and change your votes up until voting closes at 7pm (SA time ) this Monday (31st July).

Cheers, TPC

[TPC]

Bump....Don't forget to vote. :)

[TPC]

Voting is now closed, time for me to see if I can still count.

[TPC]

The votes have been counted, was very close.

In first place with 11 votes is Boinzo with his photo of "Old Cork Station - Diamantina Mail Road".

72686

In second place, both with 10 votes we have a tie between Growler and his untitled photo of what looks like a 40s Packard and TPC (me) with my photo of an old wagon at Reynella near my house.

72687

72688

In third place we have another tie, both with 9 votes between clubbyr8 with his photo of an old ute with hills in the background and MudrunnerTD with his reminder of how Photobucket have abandoned the internet forum community.

72689

72690


Congratulations Boinzo , it was a great shot and deserved the win. Please pm me with your choice of topic for August.

Past winners and topics can be seen HERE (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?29697-Photo-Comp-Past-Topics-amp-Winners) except for a few that have disappeared because of the photobucket extortion. I will contact the owners of the missing photos and see if we can get them back.
