Pic of the week game

[storm 64]

Someone had to do it, but no I'm not voting for Gustovh. Sure brings back memories though. 1980 coming home from the U.S.125cc Motocross Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio. We would slow down, a group of girls would pass us. Then we would speed up to pass them with my brothers azz hanging out the window! Funny times back then. My teen years were great! Anyway, I VOTE FOR BURQUE he nailed it again 👍

Eating a Moon Pie and listening to Moondance by Van Morrison has put me in the mood to vote for dorkburger.

Eating a Moon Pie and listening to Moondance by Van Morrison has put me in the mood to vote for dorkburger.

When I grabbed this week's photo I was thinking of The Doors, Moonlight Drive.

Nicely done, Rich!

What do you have in mind for our first theme of 2020? (or the last theme of 2019? )

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Thank you, gents. I'm going to, hopefully, make the next theme easier for people to participate. I know most of us are not riding much, or not at all right now. And I know most of you will have images that will fit somehow. The them is "military salute". It doesn't have to be a military vehicle in the shot, but that would certainly fit. I took a different shot from a scene I used in last August's aviation theme. I've done some minor manipulation to sort of "Kodachrome" the shot a bit. A few of you will understand what I mean by that. I think it suits the Huey and it's period of service.

Just to restate the theme: "Military Salute"

[Redman]

Thanks for the summation and the tally Bob.

Nice theme-category Rich.

Kodachrome, yep, I recall that. A slide film(available in 25 or 64ASA), slower than Ektachrome (100 or 200), but brighter colors. The three basic colors really stood out. If held up the slide to the light just right could the slide was thicker where there the image is and certain colors were thicker than others. That is what I recall.

I have a picture in mind to use, but is somewhat similar to yours as is a helicopter (heuy?) static display and I have submitted the shot before. Maybe I can find some other shot.

[Baatfam]

Bob, Tell us about the lighting on the wall and you. (seems to be different than the bike)
That lighting really adds depth, and seems to make the scene match the scene in the picture frame.
THe headlight seems to mimic the moon (would have more if all headlight was in the frame).

Dave...the best kind of light, reflected sunlight...

I struggled with that shot trying to keep reflections off the framed print glass.
Lights out, doors closed, tripod high/low, even considered covering the garage windows.
(You can still see the turned out overhead lights in the glass below the moon)

Our house faces SE, so sunlight comes in through the garage door windows.
It was bright Christmas eve at 11am, and the sun gave a good reflection off the polish/sealed concrete floor.

Took these today, at about the same time of day, and it was cloudy out.




Used a 10 sec timer with 3 shots. Push the button, run behind the bikes, pose a few times, move the camera, repeat.
Some of the better ones...

Voting for Bob this week just on Coolness of the moon shot.

Thanks, Scott...
This is the original moon photo I used for that print.


Now....
To figure out something for this week....

[storm 64]

I have a bunch of pictures thet fit this theme. I just have to figure out which one to post...

This picture is at the Beaver Country Airport in Chippewa Pennsylvania. One of my favorite ride destinations.

Too subtle?

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Too subtle?

nope. I had to look for it, but I get it, and I like it. It’ll be up to the voters to decide if the the photo meets the theme. It’s certainly a nicely composed/exposed shot with the focus in the right spot.

Although I am retired Air Force and could easily get out to the base for some pictures, I don't know if the weather will cooperate for me so I'll go with this one and possibly update it by week's end.

The Protestant Chapel at the Dayton Veterans Administration Hospital. The first picture is my submission but the second is a better explanation as I couldn't get the bike in the shot without showing off the construction fence

The National Asylums or Soldiers Homes were the original veteran hospitals late 1800s/early 1900s until the formal creation of the Veterans Bureau in 1921 and later the Veterans Administration/Department of Veterans Affairs

[Burque73]

I liked the pic I first used, but think this one fits the theme better.

From the New Mexico Veteran's Memorial

OH, how I loathe PhotoSuckit... I have a couple old pictures for this STUCK in Photobucket. I can see them! When I try to do anything about it (download, save, remove, ANYTHING) POP-UP. If I use my computer here at work, my antivirus flags it as a malicious website. I want my pictures BACK ! ! !

[dorkburger]

I'm in the same boat. I can't even see my old PB pics.
I have a couple I can use, but I have to find the one I'm looking for. Its several years old, and I don't remember what I took the picture with.
