Photo Competition - October

[liveseytowers]

Then I'm afraid it can't be entered into the comp unfortunately, as per rules....

I was thinking that but didn't want to say. I've got a couple of decent pics which I could have entered but didn't take them this month.

OK... Since I have a few idea's I've not been able to shoot yet, I thought I'd pop a pic up in case I didn't get time for another.

Here's my effort.

Canon EOS400D
18mm-50mm f3.5 - f5.6

You might wanna re-size that pic mate - as per the rules.

[willp2003]

Neo - top piccy mate - well done

slash can city - you'll need to delete one pic and resize the other. (see sticky for guidelines). nice to see you joining in the fun though

LOL not only does he want to resize it, he needs to remove it from submission as I don't believe it conforms with the "Architecture" requirement

Slash can, great pic. I love the Snowy resorts but this months competition is about Architecture and in particular, I believe Structural Architecture.

[leerolo007]

unless the date on the camera was wrong it wasnt taken this month either.
shame nice picture though mate.

[nitelife]

Well, here goes nothing. Went into town the other day just to take some pics. Ive got a few, but in the end decided this was the most interesting. Its a bit of old Reading Abbey which is in ruins.

Taken with a Panasonic TZ3.

Not been around much this month, been mad busy few weeks at work, so here's the only shot that's possibly matching the architecture theme i've taken, on my way out of the hotel to work on Friday morning with my G9.

Just in case I don't get the chance to do another one. Here's the statue from the top of the old Crumlin Road courthouse in Belfast.

took a better shot 2nite on my way to the british driffting championship in midlesborough.


Built in 1911 under a 1907 Act of Parliament, the Transporter Bridge, which spans the River Tees, reflects the dynamic industrial heritage of our area.


It is capable of carrying 600 people at a time. You drive or walk into a cradle that is suspended beneath the main span of the bridge and which carries its load of cars and pedestrians across the Tees some 160ft above the river in just two and a half minutes. It even featured in the film Billy Elliott.

It has featured in films and TV programmes including Billy Elliot, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, The Fast Show, and Steel River Blues. In the millennium celebrations of 2000, fireworks were fired from its length.

In the storyline of Auf Wiedersehen Pet (series 3, 2002) the bridge was dismantled to be sold to and re-erected in the USA. A public outcry ensued from people who believed that the bridge was really being pulled down. The BBC was required to put a disclaimer on the end of the last episode of the series stating that 'The Transporter Bridge remains in Middlesbrough'.


Daimler Fleetline JDC544L at the Transporter BridgeThe bridge is also host to an annual vintage bus running day, organised by The 500 Group. On this one day per year, usually a Sunday in April, vintage buses take people on free rides around Teesside. As part of the 2006 and 2007 events the bridge made a special trip carrying former Teesside Municipal Transport Daimler Fleetline. Prior to this a double deck bus had not used the bridge in 30 years.
