View Full Version : Autumn 2007 Photo Competition
Hi All, it's about time we had another photo competition so here goes :D
The theme for this competition is Autumn, you can send your pictures to us at competition@bushcraftuk.com or you can post them up here directly.
Please make sure that the pictures posted in this thread are no larger than 640x480 pix and 100kb, this will allow people to enjoy looking at the pictures without having to wait for ages for it to load. We may well ask you for a higher res picture so we can print it in the magazine etc.
The prize will be awarded after the 7th Dec 2007 and it will be the new book from Anthonio Akkermans - Bushcraft Skills and how to survive in the wild. It's a great book.
So, get those pics up for us all to see, it's a great opportunity to get out for a walk or a weekend.
Ahh, good point:banghead:
Tony, out of curiosity who won the summer one? Or was it just abandoned?
My first thought was Ehh, summer Photo comp? But i'm presuming you mean Paramo, we're waiting to hear back from them before we announce the winner, who'd from Scotland :D How come you never entered Andy?

For me, autumn is seeing my little cluster of Cyclamen Neapolitanum popping up through the dead leaves. I've had this little cluster for maybe 20 years, and it's survived several house moves and re-plantings. It is like an old friend calling on me once a year.

Jon's picture reminds me of the road leading to the site of the Summer Moot, that's what sprang to mind as soon as I saw it, good memories.
Taken on Wednesday of this week

I thought i had already had a crack at this but it seems not.
So here's my little snap.....
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k98/ArkAngel_06/CrimpleValley.jpg
I took this picture last week and liked it so I thought I'd enter it.
Maybe not 100% bushcraft, more of a walk in the park, but nice autumn leaves on the path.

Some excellent pictures here, I'll close this tomorrow and we'll create a thread and put it to the public vote.
If you have a picture that you want to put up so that it can be seen by thousands get on with it, just 1 day left.
Thanks all and keep them coming :You_Rock_

OK, let's short list some names
Which do you think are the best photographs? We'll narrow it down a bit and then go to a poll on it.
Just put who and the photo you're referring to below here and we'll compile it into a poll, include the post number as well to make it easier to track.
Can we nominate our own efforts?
I have a top 3 in no particular order,
Rebel, Northern Giant UK, and JonR
and my own " Child playing in Leaves " :-)
Can we nominate our own efforts?
As long as you do it only once :D
Ones that do it for me are......
Page 1... Can't see what post number cost the ads are in the way...
Beer Monsters bottom two shots...
Mavers misty hillside
Page 2
Fred Gordons misty lake shot
Rebels bramble leaves....
These are the ones that really stand out to me and depict autumn...
Mine's the best. :D
Seriously, I like John R's picture of the woods by the roadside; the colours and the light are great. The composition is good too, shame that the sharpness and clarity are a bit low.
Thanks for editing my post and making my photo viewable for everyone else Tony :) I couldent figure out how to do it myself see!:o
I would like to enter these Sunset photos.
These were taken a couple of weeks ago whilst out walking the dogs with my son.

Maver's bullrush
neither of mine come close :(

Well I posted a pic using the link on the homepage - guess it never made it!
Ah well such is life
These are great photos!
I am submitting the following picture - a couple of summers ago my father and I canoed and portaged deep into Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. We arrived at a lake, and were the only residents for those few days.
One morning my father climbed into the canoe and paddled about the lake, with the morning mist rising and burning off as the sun grew higher and higher.

Thx John .
I think Maver's misty hillside should win...:11doh:
Well done Maver.:D
I note I seem to have encouraged an incorrect credit for a photo. Sorry. "Moonshot" is actually by JonnyP and is contribution to thread number #50.

Well done Maver a well deserved win that should actually have had a larger margin as I incorrectly voted for your other photo instead of the one that won :rolleyes: :11doh:
