The Great Big GADC 6th Birthday and Treasure Hunt Challenge!

Hi @ANDMUL sorry for the long delay in awarding your points but we had to have a fairly long look and further discussion on whether or not your pic met the requirements. It has scraped through and you have been awarded 2 points. If the cryptic Bonus matches at the end of the comp then this shall also be added to your tally.

For future submissions we would like to gently remind you of the following

  • Subject and bonus items being claimed must be clearly visible.

Our ageing eyes are not what they used to be. Too many years of staring into the sun while trying to spot our little flying machines :rofl:

And 3 points awarded Jason :clap:

FPVs go really fast and have trouble with staying in one place. Thank you for your consideration.:slightly_smiling_face:

Hello Paul, thanks for joining in :slight_smile: Three points for the Gallery on the Green. Maybe their next exhibition should be drone photos of the Settle area …

New contestants get a short period of time before we crack down on them - the rules require the following:

  1. To enter an item for the Challenge you need to make a post in this thread containing the following

    Your photo or video - entries should consist of single still images unless otherwise specified.
    Subject and bonus items being claimed must be clearly visible.
    The number and name of the objective it relates to.
    Which, if any, bonus points relating to that objective you are claiming.
    The location from where the picture was taken and the aircraft used.
    Any other information that has been requested or a link to it.

The exif data we can access doesn’t show the camera type or location, And we hate having to try and dig around for data to validate an entry!

We look forward to your next entries having all the requested information! :slight_smile:

Hmmm, six people passing, six grouped behind Eric and one waving at the drone. Of the six behind the statue how many are actually looking at it?

We are going to be generous here and allow you three points. Only because the boss is out with the main GADC committee and, if he comes back at all, will be in no fit state to look at pictures! :beer: :beer: :beer:

Ooo you’re a tough committee but very fair with it. In my defence and knowing the location it’s very hard to pass by it without looking at it.

My third entry is about to follow where hoped I will redeem myself with no mistake :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Just remember though, only two entries per day :wink:
Wouldn’t want you incurring the wrath of ChallCom :rofl:

You’ve just saved my skin, forgot about that one lol!! :flushed::+1::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

May we recommend another careful perusal of the rules?

As time goes on and offences build up we change from mild-mannered, patient and helpful to raging psychopaths with PhDs in sarcasm …

As much as I’d quite like to see that lol, I’m on it! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::+1::ok_hand:

8. A Service Station - must have a cafĂŠ as well as fuel

  • Bonus point for the coffee shop not being Costa or Starbucks.
  • Bonus point if there is another attraction attached such as a farm shop or garden centre (a photo or web link is required for proof).

I claim 2 bonus points for:

It’s all Jempson’s. Apparently they started as bakers and grew and grew. Cheap fuel too.

Jempson’s Petrol Station, Peasmarsh, East Sussex

Warren found the long days tiring on the eyes, searching for pixels that might give a clue as to their subject …

Entry 6. A Drone in Flight

This was taken today (7th August, at around 18.45 ) outside Fleet in Hampshire with a DJI Mini 2.

  • Bonus point if has six or more motors.
  • Bonus point if it’s not DJI.
  • Bonus if its colour matches King Charles’ mistress’s wares.

I can’t see me finding a 6+ rotor drone, so settling for these two bonus points.

This is my first drone :slight_smile: it’s a DCH-350 Camera Drone ( non DJI - Second bonus point)
Being orange doesn’t improve it’s flying characteristics ( 3rd Bonus point when revealed ).

Here’s the same drone from a better angle to show the colour, this doesn’t specifically show that it’s in flight which is why I’ve posted the picture above as the main entry.

So, claiming 3 points ( 1 for the task, 1 for the non DJI bonus and 1 [ when revealed hopefully ] for the colour.)

Thanks
