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.
