    A little faith goes a long way! Today I received the camera which has travelled the entirety of the country from one boardsie to another who, for the most part if not entirely did not know each other from Adam. That in itself is very cool in my book and the fact it has reached the conclusion after over two years in the making is a credit to the people who stuck it out.

    Special mention go to Tallon who had the idea in the first place, Joe (I don't care if you used to be foto_joe you are only getting one mention :D ) who kick started the idea in the second thread, The_tractor and Homer Simpson who pushed it along. I spent half an hour looking over the thread if I missed anyone who really helped this project along my apologies please let me know and I will edit this to add them.

    Last but by no means least all the boardsies who took part in this: Carraig Fhearghais, The Guvnor, rameire, unclebill98, ablelocks, Winnieacre, the_tractor, homer_simpson, ems_12, m_s_nixon, Tigger, J o e, sheesh, Tallon, BigCon, mixervilla, storm2811, Shawnee, hubba, sNarah, artyeva,
    GhostInTheRuins, Catxscotch, Cat Melodean, BrianBoru00, dakar, DaveNoCheese, Fitzcoff, darokane, Morrisseeee, xia


    Pics to follow in next post.

    Ok seeing as there was alot of interest in trying to guess the counties I renamed the pics and shuffled them about a bit so the order from the list would be no use to anyone trying to cheat! Oh and do not give away the pic you took too!

    So without further ado, I give you the pictures

    Many said it wasn't possible, but we proved them wrong - this is our Moon Landing, our Olymic Gold, our World Cup.

    Fair play for keeping it alive GAAman :)

    It's an awesome idea and there are some great photos in there.

    It was a lot of fun too :D


    EDIT: holy crap it would have been 3 years to the day tomorrow if you had have waited :D

    Thanks for sorting the development GAAman and all your help keeping the thread going!

    Some great photos in there! I see some of the earlier counties have degraded quite a bit, adds to the story though I suppose.

    That's longer than 1 month per county - how the camera was never lost I don't know.

    We should put together a table of who took which shot, and how long it took, to see if the best shots were the ones where people took their time.

    I would do it, but I can't face going through the 49 pages [ :eek: ] of the thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,569 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    I don' see any need or reason to do that, but fire away


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,959 ✭✭✭Jesus Shaves


    Right I'm going to guess that the one with the Aviva stadium was taken in Dublin, but seriously there are some great pics in there, bit disappointed by my one but nothing I can do about it now

    My photo is one of the worst and had the camera for one of the longest times! :o After a couple of weeks of constant rain and overcast skies in the west it was a bit of a panic shot under pressure to get it moving again!

    Oh wow, it's been three years :eek:. That's how long I've been home from from Oz :eek:. Crazy stuff!!

    Congrats to everyone who took part and especially those who kept motivating everyone. It's been so much fun following the thread, almost a little sad it's over now.

    When is the next camera being sent out :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭FoxyVixen


    And would I be correct in guessing that the Asda photo is from Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh?

    This one could be Ballisadare, Co. Sligo?
