Fajitas!

Swimming Prohibited gets it for me!

Ruu_Old

Me and all, voted earlier.

YeAh!

Will have to go with Future Kings Of Spain. Really like it.

I missed the fecking deadline.

I'm surprised that nobody shot some blood scenes, given halloween is close by.

I'm finding it hard to decide on which one to vote for. I'm stuck choosing between 3 photo's.

I remember the "Seeing Red" guy from the Street Performance World Championship during the summer. His balloon love story was great.

GristlyEnd

Future Kings of Spain got my vote.

Rojo

ooh thanks for the votes! Didn't think I'd get any, thought the shot was over soft..


I voted for seeing red

Fey!

It's looking like "Lighthouse" for me - just appeals to me.

Future Kings is excellent, though!

So, I'm quite new to boards.ie and was wondering do people use tactical voting on the photo challenge, or are people sporting enough not to care too much. My vote went in at the very beginning, so there was no hanging about to see if I thought I could influence who won over and above what picture I enjoyed other than mine own pic :cool:

Ruu_Old

Doesn't matter to me, its just a bit of fun. I voted at the start also.

Fajitas!

Dosn't matter to me either. As Ruu said, it's all in the name of fun really.

I think mine was the 4th or 5th vote.

Alun

Hmmm, I was waiting for some of the pictures to go up so that I could get some idea what I was up against before posting an entry, but they all seem to have gone up at once as the voting opens ... I really must do something about that insecurity complex

Anyway, is it going to be this way from now on? I also note that the names of the posters has disappeared, is that also a deliberate choice?

Not showing the names of the posters eliminates any chance of just voting for your buddy, and makes people vote purely on the appeal of the picture.
Of course, buddies could still canvas privately - but isn't that the way of the world.

It's going to be the way for the next couple of challenges while I see how much of a pain in the ass it is. The names disappearing is a deliberate choice too.

Oriel

Late anonymous *looks around* entry there folks!

Oriel

Feck this, I'm a late entry. I'm voting for myself to get me off the mark!

leche solara

Not very fair on the late entrant to be put in after 40 odd people have already voted. Like starting a race when the horses are already gone around the first bend

Oriel

Naw, well I asked.

Oriel

Dammit, I just realised I can't vote for myself, I already voted!
Help!

rymus

no it's not very fair... to the late entrant. I mean, what chance does he stand now?

440Hz

ah you never know! slowly slowly cathcy monkey!!

but then again... we aint catching monkeys are we :P

leche solara

Not to denigrate the snapper of 'Fire' but the late entrant has already caught up with him!

Ruu_Old

I know, at least I'm not the only one with zero now so far. Neck and neck here, its killing me!:)
Slightly less red* faced.




*bad-dum tissshhh, no? Ok I'll get my coat.

trooney

How many voters do we have altogether then?

Fajitas!

42 apparently!

I think this is about the norm?

trooney

Or even fortyfour

Oriel

That was not me! Thank you!
*bows*

Oriel

Recount...recount ...

*contacts admins re: multiple accounts*

rymus

Jaysus, actually.... one of the top three there might throw out next months theme. If I dont get anything socially responsible, I'll just pick something stupid.

trooney

Socially responsible? My therapist says I am now 'socially responsibly qualified' - after many years in the twilight zone!

I have no idea what you're talking about, so please do tell!

rymus

divil a bit, just trying to make you extra paranoid

rymus

One of the top three (or four, or five) pick a theme. I don't really care who picks it at this stage

GristlyEnd

Just looking back through the old challenges on http://photos.hotshotireland.com/thumbnails.php?album=2 and I don't see any entries for night shots.

Maybe we could resurrect it for Novembers theme? There's plenty of night these days.

trooney

Well, now that the poll is finished and the results are in, I guess it’s fair to say that we're all winners. Although, in another, more accurate way, I'm the winner... Bwah haw haw haw haw

I like the night shots suggestion.

Oriel

Dammit, not night shots again!
Yet more mundane long exposures of cars driving along roads, and more long exposure shots of the two towers in Dublin's port, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

rymus

well you pick something then, ya jizzbag

trooney

Or just use your imagination...

GristlyEnd

I just plagiarised these from another forum I frequent

Shadows, Water, Sun, Noise, Glass, Home, Signs, Colours, Industry, Weather

Must be something there??

rymus

I'll pick from that list so... Congrats to trooney in 1st place, Rojo in 2nd and DarrenG in 3rd....
