was thinking of you mate
No late entries at all? Come on guys still time to enter
And, if for some strange reason the subject of Bridges doesn’t appeal, everyone can vote for the subject of their choice for the competition starting on Sunday HERE
Choose from:
A Monument
Patterns
A Lone Tree
Hoping to go to a location tomorrow but weather here has been extremely wet the last couple of days so hoping it stays away tomorrow.
Two days left for entries!
One day left to choose the next subject
Are you going to compete? - vote for the subject easiest for you perhaps
Are you watching from the sidelines? - vote for the subject you like best
Wicked sense of humour? - vote for the subject most likely to cause the competitors grief
Here’s my entry, the Northwater road bridge (top) and the Northwater Viaduct (old railway bridge) just oustide of Montrose.
Nice spot.
This messed with my head for a while I was trying to work out the route but then realised one is a viaduct and the other an aqueduct.
Looks like you caught a break in the weather then
Haha yeah, severe weather warning for this weekend though
Hah yeah, it looks like they are linked but yeah you are correct,1 viaduct and 1 aquaduct. I think they’re from about 1770ish, will have to google.
@macspite and @McSteamy2010 can I make a suggestion for the next competition. Obviously if you don’t like it that’s fine. I was thinking rather than have one long thread (almost 200 posts at the moment), we could have this thread as an info and comment thread with new subjects, comments etc. Then create a new thread specifically for posting the latest entries with just likes and no comments to scroll through. Then when competition is finished move the thread into this main thread and start again for the next competition. I think this may help get more people voting if they don’t have to scroll through loads of posts and comments to see the photos. What do you guys think?
Also maybe have the current competition thread in the photos by drone section. When I first joined I didn’t know my way around very well but would always look in the photos by drone section for new photos to look at.
I love the thought of all this and would be amazing to have a thread with just the photos in. I’m not sure it would work though, people love commenting on the photos and videos and for the new people joining it better to have it all in one place.
I think what we’re doing in the next one is posting updates more often with links to all photos as they come in to try and cut down on scrolling time.
I see your points and agree with people liking to comment on photos (I’m a serial liker/commenter myself ). So if its all to stay in the same place how about moving the whole thread to the Photo section so people looking for photos to view that maybe don’t interact with other areas of the forum can find the photo competion easier?
Or a poll at the end and the highest wins? Instead of likes? Then it’s all in one place.
Have to say I do like the poll idea with hidden votes so its all a bit secretive
Yeah that’s a good idea
Agree its a great idea👍🏻Only thing is can you vote for more than one photo with a poll?
Just had a quick look and looks like you can set multiple choice and set limits on max and min votes etc
