And out of plaster. Hence i can shoot random objects around the house.. beats writing essays.

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2163/2333884724_8122533200.jpg?v=0)

Any good?

Anyone else bored... if we start challenging each other topics to shoot tonight then post up results i recon it'll be interesting. Good practice for all you AS level students.

So say...

Topic: Music

And it must be submitted by 22:00 tonight.

It must also be taken within the time limit, not an existing shot of a gig etc...

My turntables shot can start us off.

Suggest the next topic with your entry. Only one entry per user.

Tris, check out ukmb.net, there's quite a good photography scene for a small community and they run both riding and non-riding photo comps every month, also check out freewheelphoto.co.uk.

I am not a AS photography student or anything!

but i'm as bored as you, this is mine:

(http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg304/tomgrundy/2-3.jpg)

I'm not an AS student either. Just aware there are a few of them around. I like the concept of yours, shame about all the grain... I like it though  :)

Theres mine:

Couldnt be arsed putting a border round it... lighting is a strobe light flicking away to the side. And a nice slow shutter speed.

(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m118/samsungdh/DSC_0018.jpg)

 ::) Beats me.

Love it!

Are we choosing a winner? Or just to see what people turn up with?

We'l get another topic going from 22:00 to 23:00. Then slow the deadlines down to every 12 hours or so.

argh im trying to upload the pics but my cam wont conect to pc and thers 10 mins to go argh

PANIC... must edit and upload in time.

Can we have a longer deadline, this thread only just got going?

I'l decide at 22:00  :P

Heres mine:
One of 50.  :D

PS I'm not a photography student either. Sorry I just wanted to go with the crowd.   ;D

[attachment expired by admin]

nice, thinking out of the box!

Having technical difficulties, give me 5!

How about the winner chooses the next topic!? And the winner cant enter there topic? Yes/No???  ;D

Good work jeff  ;D

Deadline extention to 23:00 because i know alot of people are rushing...

Better?  :)

Grr just uploading mine balls!

Is that a pun?  :D
(If its referring to mine...)

is it possible to make it 22.30, that way technical difficultys could be sorted, but we wont be waiting around for 30mins??

it wasnt ment to be, i have the habit of making puns by accident!

it was refering to yours

Yeah was gonna say the same. 20:30.

Ok... 22:30  :D

Who chooses next winner? Can we set up a poll thing? :S

Winner chooses next topic sounds good, and can enter but the shot muct be taken after the topic is set and must prove his/her shot was after the topic was set.

The next topic is set from 0.00 - 22:30 the next day and then the hour and a half is judging and setting the next topic?

(http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b206/TomBear1/Random%20Pics/IMG_4102.jpg)

Excuse my strap, it was attacked by my best friend with black paint :(

i HATE my camera i tried really hard but cant get it to connect :( 2moro im getting a decent camera :( booooo al you guys tho... good effort :)

How about they cant enter and they choose the winner... saves any poll hassles and proof of shots etc. Make each topic last 12 hours like you say, so theres no hanging around etc.

Samsung has it sussed... Sound good to everyone? And when you win.. no voting for your mates  ;)

I'l choose the first winner then, no bribes accepted! (Exclude my entry as it was just an example)

Awesome... cheers tris for getting the ball rolling... should be a good thing if it gets regular.  :P

I know its not fantastic, but i like it, shows music AND riding you see!

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/fwogddy/IMG_0025-1.jpg)

Sounds good.


Try a different USB port?  :-\

il keep trying :) if not il just do the next one :) good topic tho, props

Saxamaphoone!

Took me ages using a self timer and no tripod  :-\

(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j112/aliscott123/DSC_0123-1.jpg)

Heres mine last 1 quick!! ;D
(http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa66/supersize_photo/Spazzyness.jpg)

------Time!------


Gimme a sec... ;)

That's pretty sweet, especially for a semi-timer.

So 12 hours for each one? But how about let this one run for 13.5 hours, then, all contests will finish at midday/midnight ?

na this one is finished, eachtime deadlines get longer

I think it's nice just having to run around quickly and try and take one, wouldn't want any proper planning involved now would we  :D

and i dont think we really need a winner, i mean this is just to keep us entertained?!?

Its a bit of a crap competition if nobody wins!

Tris, rank them in order!

is that because you know your going to lose grundy ;) :P

It's still nice to have a winner, just to give you something to aspire to  ::)

It's also a good way to get see who gets to pick the next topic.

But then judging will have to wait till morning you see, not everyones an insomniac.

Right:

1st- ali. Very neat, well composed shot, soft with good colours and serious self-timer skills.

2nd- Supersize. Again a neat and well thought of shot. Nice showing of the ipod screen through.

3rd- Samsung for creative thinking out of the box.

Well done guys. Ali. set the next task quickly!

Sorry for the judging if you missed out. But it's hard to choose.. especially with a one man team. Better luck next time  :)

(Not going to rank them all as it takes too long)

Yay  :)

Ermm... the new topic title shall be...


HOUSE HOLD TASKS AND APPLIANCES

And finishes at midnight midday tomorrow

Cool, what times the close? Preferably 9-ish (pm).

HAHAHAHAHA  :D :D :D :D classic

 edit: midday tomorow better go now as im riding tomorow

supersize is in a league of his own thats so funny hahahaha but the sexamaphone has to be the winner... right?

Any chance of getting this stickyed?

supersize... right click... save as...

D'oh, early start tomorrow then....  ::)

I've just realised i should be riding tomorrow at about 12... so i'm not sure when i'm gonna choose the winner  :-\

im gunna put mine up in a sec hmm which to choose

(http://i26.tinypic.com/anxbd.jpg)

late by 2 mins but it took that to do it and upload it :P

That one finnished at 22:30 if you read the thread..  :D Nice try though.

Check back a psge or so for the new task.

damn, sure i read there was an 11 oclock extension (burp)  ;D

Sounds like a fun thread :) Ill do household tasks one now. As i wont be bothered in the morning :) And if i manage to get up before 12 :P

Half my room is now covered in mr muscle, and the photo at the end was s**t. Ahh. I think i might try appliances for now.

Edit: not mr muscle, mr sheen!  :)

Souuup?!

Yes i realise theres a ring pull tab on the can but it was the best can i had in the cupboard  ::)

xxxxx

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2359/2334135910_2610c107c0.jpg?v=0)

Pretty sure the boarder killed it.

That'd be 10 times better tris if the nozzle wasn't twisted, unless tis actually like that, in which case your plumber must be more hamfisted then me!

Making a cuppa  ;D Household task  :P

(http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p105/biker_chris/IMG_5916-1.jpg)

Hmm its ok. If i have time in morning ight do different one.

Also that not real tea :) It a disgusting mixture of secret ingredients :P

HAHA.

That's my favourite so far  ;)

LOL @ grundy!! nice one man definately different  :D

Grich 8 yours is awesome.

@ Numberwanng! I was going to leave it straight, then i decided not too, might change it tomorrow if i still have the origional. Or start from scratch.

I actually already did this challenge with my friend.. So i'l show you that rather than re-doing it. Set the challenge, said go. 16 minutes later (Including idea, shooting and uploading) came up with this.

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2176/2038973320_e10399759e_o.jpg)

When I saw the first ones in Grinch's  I thought there was gonna be one of him getting a slap round the head from his mother lower down.  :D  ;)

Heres mine:
(I'm out all day so don't pick it.)


[attachment expired by admin]

ooh i quite like that!  :)

But i'm not gonna be back until about 5, so you'll have to wait till then to see who's the winner. Feel free to start another subject though.

(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/mbrkid/samsungtvcopy-1.jpg)

tried reckon i could have done better but meh  :)

Ok miles past the deadline, and the winner is.... Grinch8. Although Tris' photo was technically better, the idea of grinch8's was original and funny  :)

Now you have to pick the next subject.

Sorry about the delayed reply, i was working all today!

ok so the next topic is...

Time

Get photoing

Somone clear up when the deadline is please
thanks

EDIT: Deadline 22.30

Set the deadline as 22:30 tonight, have a nice brief one then one till mid day tomorrow.

Maybe have 24hour slots during the week though due to school/work.

can i still enter, just for fun?

You can set an example like i did in the 1st post yeah.

Heres my entry for Time.


Hands of time.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3267/2335087063_cb7d11ec8e.jpg?v=0)

(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/mbrkid/newtime-1.jpg)

tried a few things but couldnt improve the shadow on the far right one

Thats REALLY confusing  :-\ What is it?

just some hands from a cheap clock  ;D  magically stuck to a wall.

Thats a wall  ::) i thought it was paper. Use a flash bottom right too? Or just a light?

How come theres 5 shadows but 2 or 3 hands?  :-\

Just a light.

i see what you mean know there 3 hands ill try and make it more clearer. that chunky one is a hand not a shadow

Your Time is up
(did you get that pun? :-\)

And the winner is...


(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/mbrkid/newtime-1.jpg)

Mbr Kid, it was going to be tris686 but when i looked at it the second time i really liked it!
Very Simplistic

as for tris its again a class photo that he seems to allways be able to pull of nice!

Alot better now.. shame about lack of entrants...

I admit defeat, his is a much better idea than mine.

Mbr Kid, get a move on with the next topic  :P

Yea, it was kinda unfair because of the lack of enterys!

maybe it was just my topic  :-\

oh right sorry havent been on for a bit

yeh there was only 2 entry's  :-\ i thought the topic was great

right next topic will be nature

:D

Damn it, thats such a wide topic!

yah i thought then there would be a few more entrys then, hopefully
(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/mbrkid/spider-1-1.jpg)
heres mine to set example give some ideas(wasnt taken today though) but im sure there are some better shots out there today ;)

ill enter next time ! :D just pm me when it starts lol

I wound have, but was at my mate's.  :-[

When can we start submitting?
Need to be made abit more clear ie BIG BOLD LETTERS on the subject, when challenge opens and when challenge closes!

I think you can enter whenever you want.

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2356/2336622741_af5f8a7574.jpg?v=0)

I assume this is classed as Nature...

Rider, so long as that was taken today then thats fine yeh.

To make it clear:

Next topic is 'Nature'

Not sure on when the deadline will be... tonight perhaps?

Thanks Tris  :D ;)

yep, was taken about an hour ago.

Heres mine!  ;) Uploaded wrong pic oops.. here is my entry ! (sorry) YEahh hes pretty handsome :L

[attachment expired by admin]

Entry Delted.. Didnt like it :P

rickhuss, nice dog  :D

should we say the deadline ends about 9ish? so then we can do a brief one from 9ish to 10:30 tonight?

imma say 20:30 deadline

yeah, good plan.

Poor effort on this, my garden just isn't inspiring and i didn't want the same old flower shots or slow shutter stream.

Another entry to look at though.

Pretty sure thats a cat  ::)

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3142/2338090862_bc40e3bf84.jpg?v=0)

(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j112/aliscott123/egg.jpg?t=1205687555)

Pretty crap but oh well.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/oldskoolraver/DSCF3748.jpg)


Does count as today as it was taken on my way home last night (about 12.30ish i think) and i was very intoxicated after celebrating the mighty Welsh victory.
             Dan

Very nice dan. Serious drunk skillZ there!  :P

Thats a lucky coincidence, I took a lot of pictures of a robin today while we were digging.  ;D
Whether they'll be any good is a different matter....  ::)

well its dark, im tired, ive been rideing all day, yet still i will go out and see if i can capture anything with my flash!

I'm imagining road-kill, like on The Simpsons. :D

Watch the birdie:

PRobinson you get to decide on the next topic  ;)

Hes offline at the moment....  Hopefully he will be back to set a new topic soon.

Could anyone else set the topic?

Why thank you ;) have you run out off topics by any chance?

Im going to say.. the topic is....

Lighting

Whats the time limit on this one then

Erm i think the deadline was allready set as 22:30.

Hmm i love slow sutter speeds :D My entry... (can i ask btw, how everyone else is submitting their photo's? Mine appear to leave tags underneath them ...)

[attachment expired by admin]

Basic homemade softbox ive made( tracing paper and a lamp). Ignore the face.

(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/monkeyboy41/nose2.jpg)

Am i/whos judging this one?

Ignore this one, Im stupid  ;D

(http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj79/craig_lydall/Cullercoatscropped.jpg?t=1205701609)

Cullercoats at night.

i swear i saw that picture when you just got your camera, you have to have taken it today you know ;) ;D

urmm i saw that picture weeks back  ;D nice try though  ;)

Ahh never mind, i diddnt realise that  :(

probinson you're judging this one.

And damnit i was hoping no one would have taken a long shutter speed one before i had finished taking this, lol.

(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j112/aliscott123/light.jpg?t=1205702585)

thats amazing!

Why thank you  :) took me fugging ages to learn how to write backwards with an led haha

Ali you got there just ahead of me with that shot, ive just got setup and started trying the exact same thing......what now...errrr


Forgot to mention, its an awesome shot, much better than mine would ever have been....

Do it multi-coloured! ;)

That pic is great BTW!

if you wrote it with a LED, how come your not in the background?

Because i'm not a source of light  :P and the led was shining towards the bed. Oh and the fact i'm moving doesn't help.

Edit: oh you can see detail behind the writing, in that case it's definitely because i'm moving.

woopss, someone beat me too it
Really good picture btw

Maglight torch plus Deoderant spray to show the light.

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/6350/sram009nb3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Was worth a try but diddnt really work to well  >:(

good point, but i dont have multi coloured led's


Heres mine anyway, its not great at all,

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3034/2338084265_915c8066f6.jpg?v=0)

What times the deadline?

22:30 trying to get a good shot  >:(

Ali what shutter speed did you manage to do that on, i reckon i could pull it off if i had a shutter speed of atleast 15secs :D instead ive got 8 secs  ;D

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f224/surf_kelly/plymouthatnightintherain.jpg)

I have a max shutter speed of 3 seconds!

(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/mbrkid/light2-1-1.jpg)

Mum " Craig !! why is the house burning down?!?!?"

"Southerndownhill told me to do it ! "

lol.

im still trying to think of what i could do  :-\

Log fire at the cottage in the Lakes where i spent a week with my wife.

[attachment expired by admin]

was that taken today?

November, did i miss some rules about time of photo?  If so, then I'll remove.

rules were made to be broken ;)

No they weren't, stick to the rules... although that is a really lush photo, good work ;D

Think I may join in... but dont have a fire, hmmm ... might have to have a pop on the next topic :\

Alex

haha fair play hehe i have a few ideas but all involve loads of effort n im goin for a ride at 6 il see what i can do

Heres mine, again poor effort haha but  i dont have a blow torch or much time im gona go ride, and wel there needs to be a comical entry.
so here you go.

i call it : Dove Deoderant   ::) :P ;D ;)

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f224/surf_kelly/fire.jpg)

LOL  :D

I'm either gonna go have a bonfire, or go for something very obscure. I wish I hadn't got rid of so much cardboard out my room.  :'(

What do you mean you haven't got a blowtorch, deodorant does much the same job  :)

By can i set the deadline at 22:30? I wanna do an example but it needs to be dark  ;)

can it not be 9? i quite like the really short ones from 9 till 10:30? maybe you could edit the example into your post so we can look after? if not im not really bothered its your topic  :)

(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/mbrkid/firecopy-1.jpg)

heres mine, really hard to photograph fire

just some very flammable tip ex on a surface  :D

I can't be bothered with the bonfire, heres the much easier obscure one:

[attachment expired by admin]

Ahh that's a clever one. Yeah ok 9 it is, i think i'll have time then.  :)

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/fwogddy/IMG_0003.jpg)

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2021/2341376284_31537497b9_o.jpg)

Just liked the smoke really.
First time out with a real camera so be nice (Y)

mehh i know nothing about cameras or editing. Taken me an hour to re size it slightly so its not proper massive!

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/hurbum/fireentrysdh_edited-2.jpg)

Really like the simplicity of Numberwangs and like the colours of the last one.

Not particularly pleased with this but its ok....

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2390/2341432668_d52aa2196d.jpg?v=0)

I really like that especially with the metal behind reflecting the flame

hurbums pic is abit ace, how you done it my little pocketsized????

Meeahr.
Not great but its the taking part that counts... :D :)

[attachment expired by admin]

If you don't get it, it doesn't matter...

grinch im so annoyed i didnt think of this grrrrr i get the feeling he just wanted us to melt our cameras... DOVE DEODERANT ;D

In all honesty kell, I don't know!

I got my dads camera out and turned on our fire, 2 seconds later I had a picture.

I then spent an hour trying to reduce the size and put on the border!

(http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/7572/sram016xs3.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j61/monkeyboy41/treestump.jpg)

J

technical difficulty fixed...  :)

MBR KID
I liked the softness of the flames  :)
Although they were all very good. Although the dove deoderant was of debatable relevance, lol.


I just gotta wait for the other pc to be free so i can upload my late entry, which isn't as good as some of these.

late entry
very poor but thought id get in the spirit of things ;)

Woot  :D

umm next topic might aswell be the opposite of fire... water

Here's my late entry for fire...

(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j112/aliscott123/fire.jpg?t=1205790386)

gt85 being put to good usage there matey! nice shot...

When does this challenge close?

Ermm who wants to say 23:00? Since it started a bit late.

mann i got school tomorrow anychance it could be a usual 22:30 pm ?  :P ::) :D

Ermm.... depends if i get my entry done by then hehe.

Entry for Water ;

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2145/2335514268_bd8694d0fa_o.jpg)

go for 23:00.  ;D
i might remember to do somehting about it by then

Shall we say this one ends about 5-6ish tomorow? because i expect a few people have gone offline and its not fair on them if its ok with everyone else?

and ali that fire one is awesome!

hmm yeah buts it been the same everynight for the past couple of days, why change?

Heres mine:
I'm just hoping it'll make a splash!  ;D  :D   ....sorry  :-[

[attachment expired by admin]

Splash? I love patronising people  :D ;)

Yeah, cheers. I must have been laughing too hard. ;)

*Double proof reads...*

because tonight was a bit later but i dont mind 30 minute left then

LOL  :D ;)

Please wait for tommorow ! Its not fair to just have 2 hours to shoot.

Also i have my whole AS photography unit two shoot tommorow and its linked to water  ;D

Will upload mine at about 12 tommorow if everything goes alright.



I think the time should be the same every day.

Winner annouced at say 9:30 , winner announces next topic
And then 12 hours to shoot until the next topic is descided rather than 13hours one day and 2 the next?

yeh ok extension to tomorow

only because theres just 3 entrys and its not fair on other people

btw whats your unit 2 ?

The unit title was 'myspace' (not www.myspace.com) as in what you consider to be your space or where you feel at home or something like that.

Good too see this going strong. I love shooting water and have some great ideas but can't do it now and dont get back till 10ish tomorrow  >:( Damn geography trip!

Just took a shot, just need to do a little bit of cropping and fiddleing and will post it up.

Just printed this out A3 and mounted on dailer board, looks much better the bigger it gets

(http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5831/craigswaterphotoeditblajs2.jpg) (http://imageshack.us)

Should probably be my final Image for unit 2. And only because there is a reflection of the inside of my house so i can link it to the unit brief :)

(Oh and all that has been done in photoshop is Cropped it slightley and Gray scale)

Craig

Jeff_R_King... awesome pic!

dont disreguard my pic haha take a good hard look at the water ;)

why do you all have to make it hard for me  :-[

ok ive decided... the winner is waxwellwax closely followed by lots of people..

is yours upside down? it hurts my eyes! :-\

mbr kid... who wins?

waxwellwax, back a page  :) edited my comment

argh

Name the next topic then ... ?

have to wait for waxwellwax to set it.

Congrats to waxwellwax :)

hurry up and set the next haha

wil the next one be a quick one?

maybe could do the deadline for tonnight just depends when waxwellwax come online  :)

It would be handy if the person who chooses the winner PMs them so they know to choose the next subject. (Assuming that's not happening already.)

Could we throw it open to topic suggestions and a quick vote? Say by 7pm?
Would save the waiting around.  :-\

I think someone else should choose a topic before it gets too late...

mbr kid choose a new topic that we can do until 20:30? then hopefully that guy wil be back online

Really need to find out the next topic so i can do it before i go out at 8.

How about self portraits?

yeah thats it then and the deadline is 8.00. A nice quick one, but who decides the winner.

self portraits it is, mbr kid can decide the winner?

Yeah go for it (was about to set one myself):

Topic: Self Portraits
Deadline: 20:00

mbr kid as judge, unless the winner turns up?

okie dokie

he probably wont come on till late looking at his past post's

I think Kelly might do well on this one.  :D  ;)

Heres mine me:
(As a precaution for the unlikely event of me winning this, my topic would be Communication, cos I won't be around later.)

Aww just realised, I should have done a straight mug shot with my avatar as my head.  ;D

il have to make this bike related, i like some of the effects in the last pics, i know most are slow shutter which i can use, but how difficult is it to use photoshop well? hmmm

thats why im glad im a judge  ;D i dont have to do a self-portrait

were gunna need more entry's anyway  :D

ahh sorry!
had work/school.
whats the topic end time etc.

8:00 so once this ones done you can do your topic  ;) unless everyone else wants to go straight onto waxwellwax's topic?

ah sorry about that everyone.
thought the watertopic was ending at 8.
have we got set deadlines or are we just making them up by day?

yeh i think we are just making them up so they suit everyone, maybe tonight do 8 till 10:30 or something? i dont mind your the winner so you decide ;)

i would have thought craig would have had a pic up on his own topic

Having camera difficultys, think ive just fooked my 400D lense ahh !

well il set it when portrait finishes and tl finish at either 10:30 or 11 depending on when it starts

Portraits finished at 8  ;)

Chris R---submit them both!

This one I couldn't get the lighting right not enough natural light and flash was too much, and couldn't be arsed fiddling around with fill flash. so I under exposed it, and as i wanted it to look like a black and white film print, 'push processed' it so to speak in Aperture.

My cat likes to chill out on my bed eating chocolate and crisps :D


EDIT: Just realised I could of up'd my ISO to 800 rather than 400 haha oh well. 1600 would of been even better but that's just way to noisey on my camera.

This isnt just any old flake yoghurt,
this is a delicious tender rich flake chocolate yoghurt served in a delightful potty style pot...
Sorry had to do it , gotta love M&S  :D ;)

Lucky shot of the century; i had one egg, and it was using a self timer LOL


(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j112/aliscott123/eggs.jpg?t=1205878278)

very nice!

Damn you Ali! It's better than mines going to be.(it'l be abit late... i couldn't get it right)  >:(

What settings was that on?

il wait for Tris to post and then give the winner.

im not posting one for the simple reason that i tried taking pictures of a crunch corner, but they all came out pretty badly.

Mines crap, looks over shopped because it needs to be... Basically, flash bouncing off wall to camera left, and a flash inside the microwave with red plastic over it.

Wanted to make smoke coming out but couldn't work a way of making enough safely and in the microwave.

Here it is:

I give to you, the key to unlock all food! The Microwave.

this is tough.
I have to give it to PRobinson though.
the lighting is superb!

yeh his photo was amazing!

well done pr robinson  ;)

i liked yours tris  :D

Agreed. Was miles ahead of anyone else in my eyes.

Good effort (Y)

Congrats PRobinson

Now hurry up and set the next, I'm addicted to these little projects now haha!

agreed, it was really good. how did you take it? oh and tris, it was on aperture prority f/4.5 iso 800 and just the pop up flash.

At least get my name right ;) I'm joking thanks for the complements.

It's hard to think of a topic now, trying to widen it up abit. eerm next topic is.. Food, Drink goes to - Useful Objects

(And ali, Its just a white sheet of paper with a desk lamp above and to the right trying to get alot of light in)

Sorry! just spotted that (fast edit)

I feel like Ali has wasted his only egg now. haha

well its pretty useful


joke entry really. ;D
keep this contest going!
i wont be around tomorrow i dont think.
Thursday il be back ;)

aayyyyy!!!    very useful i find..

(http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g205/mbrkid/aftershavecopy-1.jpg)

usefull for smelly people like me :D

my camera is dead. as door nails. :( ! so il not be posting my crappy pics no more... booooo! until after im back from easter anyway with a new camera :)  i like the creditcard from Daniel Lerpiniere, can i say winner :p byebye

With a bit of patience and trial and error, fraud could be very easy.

Yeah the first 3 sets of 4 digits are visible. The first 2 digits of the last set could be narrowed down, so two unknowns, so whats that, 1 in 100?, I like those odds.  ;D
We have the name (assuming his Username is real name).
We need the expiry date, but we have the start date, so it should be guessable.
Do we need the 3 digits off the back for that type of card?

 ::)

Just to say 8 oclock deadline to get any entries in before the next competition.

I'm liking them so far ;)

Nothing special but i thought i would put it up anyway!
