5.Public Art - be it a large sculpture, or street painting, it must be a work of art that can be seen by the casual passerby i.e. not in a gallery. Witty or Banksy-style graffiti is acceptable, plain old tags are not - Paradigm, statue located outside the Francis Crick Institute.
I’m claiming 3 points for the repurposed telephone box that thinks its the smallest museum in the world. There are a number of boxes that claim that title! Its on Sandside, South Bay Scarborough.
Taken 20th Aug with DJI mini SE
A Telephone Box
Bonus point if it’s the old-style red box (K2 or K6).
Bonus point if it has been repurposed. Supporting evidence can be from any camera.
A Service Station - TOWER CONNECT, 102-106 The Highway London, with McDonalds attached
Bonus point for the café/coffee shop not being Costa or Starbucks (and not self serve). Photo required for proof (any means) - McDonalds and outside seating can be seen in the picture.
Taken on 20th August, DJI Mini 3 pro, The Highway London E1W
Typical, you wait 4 weeks to find more than one tractor in a field and suddenly 27 turn up.
Bonus point for 10-second hyperlapse.
Fair warning, anyone suffering from motion sickness should hold onto something before watching this hyperlapse. Not overly proud of this but in my defence a) it’s the first one and b) I know to fly slower next time.
2 bonus points if one tractor’s colour mirrors a daring firefighter’s hue and another reflects the Cheeky Chappie’s audience’s book colour choice
Claiming 1 point for the task and all 4 bonus points (when they get released) please, 5 in total.
Fully agree! But the purpose of this exercise is to find the bonus items and show them, So two points.
Once this Birthday Challenge finishes we will be returning to the RTF Competition (Reason to Fly), From a list of member suggestions three are drawn at random. The suggestion with the most votes is adopted for that 14 day session. The object is to take the photograph illustrating that subjectthat will win the most votes from members, So for the rest of the year artistic merit is the determination.
Or you can still enter a picture in the Calendar Competition, illustrating the month of August and, again, judged by your peers …
Now there’s an interesting move. Get as many tractors as possible in a field and hope at least two of them match the cryptic colours No John Deeres attending the ploughing match then?
Our agricultural judge came over all unnecessary when looking at the still picture and spent a loooong time examining it under high magnification.
Hyperlapse or moving time-lapse (also stop-motion time-lapse, walklapse, spacelapse) is a technique in time-lapse photography for creating motion shots. In its simplest form, a hyperlapse is achieved by moving the camera a short distance between each shot.
Moving a short distance between each shot. Hmmmmm …
The same agricultural judge’s face that was wearing a beaming smile after scrutinising the still turned the colour of a Claas combine after viewing your ultralapse. They have been barricaded in a cubicle for the past twenty minutes talking with Ralph, Bill and Hughie.
You can have your three points.
If you have found the correct cryptic colours a further two points may be added to your score at the end of the Challenge
Whilst Cedric busied himself preparing his Mavic 3 Pro for capturing subject and bonus for item 24 his friends began to regret having volunteered to launch Cedric’s boat …

I’m claiming 2 points for light trails. Not sure Mini SE should be flown at night but found the pro mode and set exposure to 2s, ISO 100. Luckily no wind at all. 4 roads present but almost no traffic!
Mini SE, Cayton Bay roundabout. 20th Aug.
Vehicle light trails (Still Image)
Bonus point if light trails are on a roundabout.
We aren’t familiar with the SE but are we right in thinking that the only LED that shows is the rear-mounted status light. If so you need to fly it out to the target forwards and back in reverse so that the light is visible (and hence you are maintaining VLOS.
If you intend to do a lot of night flying then lightweight strobe like a Cree is a good investment and will make your aircraft far more visible - and light up most of North Yorkshire - they are BRIGHT!
Haha, right, I double checked when counting, even with missing out the baby ones in the top of the frame, it’s still a lot, which makes me want to find out now what the collective noun for a bunch of tractors is.
First hit … made me laugh…
“ Whats the collective noun for a group of tractors?
Herd of tractors?
Of course I’ve heard of tractors.”
Our agricultural judge has now been escorted “home” by a couple of kindly but muscular men in white coats. Apparently he was running around the Chall Com bunker screaming “I used to have a career until that swine Stomper sent in that terrible picture. I used to love farm machinery!”
A young boy loved tractors. Mad on them, loved everything of them. Posters, models, toys, everything. One day he see’s one in a field and runs over and sits on the sat. The farmer see’s him and shoots lead in his ass. From this point on he hates tractors. He runs home, rips the posters up, throws them in the bin along with all his toys. Many years later he is in a pub. Hates the smoke so inhales and goes outside and exhales, and repeats this over and over again until the smoke in the pub is clear. Someone asked how they did it. He told them he was an Ex Tractor Fan.

The Greenwich meridian Granite Globe on Plinth Cleethorpes and maker signs
Park Life - a photo or video of activities in a town or city park (not a national park like the lake district) - Parliament Hill, Hampstead Heath
Bonus point if there is a Bandstand - There is yes
Bonus point if the bandstand is being used as intended - It is
Bonus point for a timelapse or hyperlapse of 10 seconds or longer - Didn’t want to attract too much attention.
No John Deeres attending the ploughing match then?
, Please pass on my apologies to your incapacitated judge, the sensation passes after a while, I’ll seek to do better next time.
