Photo comp -Votes open until 00:00 22/3/08
Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:26 pmPHOTO COMP - WITH PRIZES
Well the weather seems to have arrived already and I have been waiting all year to chuck this up again! It was a reasonable success last year but with a longer period this year it should be much better. There is now 6 whole months to achieve great shots of the finest KHI machines in action.
Just about everyone has a digital camera these days, and just about everyone has taken photos of their bike. But most people only ever photograph their pride and joy after giving it a shine and then wheeling it out into the backyard where they take a few happy snaps in front of the lemon tree with the kids swing set and the hills hoist in the background. So I thought why not have a competion with the only criteria to be who can create the best image containing a Kawasaki sportsbike? You know one of those shots that just makes you go " oooooh thats a good one". The warm weather is here and we are all traveling to different locations each week, so why not take time out to try to capture the best shot you can of yours or your mates bike/s?
Some simple rules to follow will be;
1. Image must contain at least one, or part of, Kawasaki sportsbike of any era
2. Image to be scaled down to a reasonable size so as not to be offensive to either the server or those on dialup accounts.
3 Photoshop and other editing allowed, this is not about purist photography more about creating an image you can be proud of.
4. As many entries as you like, but they must be from this date forward. Just put up your best not your whole collection from the past 20 years. - Remember theres a booby prize
5. The thread will be closed for entries from midnight 22nd of Feb 2008. Any received after this time will be invalid
6. The winner will be voted for over the following two weeks (23/02/08 ----> midnight 07/03/08 ) by all registered users. Those receiving the most accolades will be the winner. To vote users must post a nomination of 1,2,3 and booby prize.
Oh and to avoid others ripping you off if it is a great shot perhaps think about adding a watermark to it and ensure you only put up low res pics. It might be great to see your picture printed or used elsewhere, but dont give em away for free.
Since you have read this far then obviously you just scanned through the rest of the above just to see what prizes are being offered. Well then here you are.
1st - For the east coast, Champions ride day gift voucher ( http://www.championsridedays.com.au" target="_blank" target="_blank ) to the value of $100. Tas SA, WA and NT contribution to a ride day through your local provider to the tune of $100.
2nd - Michelin tyre guage
3rd - Can of chain lube
Booby prize for the worst / lack of effort pic -
The mighty KV175 languishing in my back shed. Comes complete with cardboard boxes to store parts in. If you are from Vic then I will deliver it to your driveway. Interstaters then you pay courier fees to acquire it or my local tip fees!
These prizes to be put up by me. Slow and Wobbly / Adrian Lewis
KSRC-au and the administrators / owners of this site are not running this competion and have no influence over the outcome. The rules are simple. Winner to be decided by the members of this forum. Final decision is by amount of votes received from users for a particular photograph and is final at the close of voting.
Good luck
Adrian
