Hi Folks

I'm starting a new challenge "Transport", don't worry I'm not going all autocratic on you !! It's just a way of giving us something to shoot whilst voting takes place for  "Challenge #10 - Action", to vote on this challenge please follow this link Photo Challenge #10 - "Action"  . This new challenge will close at the end of December shortly after the voting in "Challenge #10 - Action" closes, January will see the start of a new challenge as decided by the winner of "Challenge #10 - Action" and so on. Hopefully this will negate the "dead time" between challenges whilst we await a decision on a winner and their choice of a new challenge.

Rules remain the same as for previous challenges:

1. Challenges are limited to photos taken within Thailand or are clearly Thailand related.

2. Only your own photos may be submitted.

3. You may post up to 3 photos in each challenge.

4. Photos must have been shot within the last 3 months.

5. Post processing is OK, but it will be up to the judge if it works or not.

6. Keep your images to 600-800 pixels on their longest side, if posting a link.

7. Please include some EXIF data including: speed, aperture, ISO, DATE of photo taken and any PP you've done.

8. Judging will be by Forum Poll, Post Votes or via our Gallery Voters at the end of the period

9. The winner gets to set the subject for the next challenge available.

10 Each challenge will be open for 15 days or more. Please see the challenge announcement.

Some general inspiration can be found here Link.

Best of luck  !!

Cheers for now J

to make image viewable and remove unneccesary metadata

Hi Phuketrichard

Seeing as you're only just out of the timescale, you were honest about it and you appear to be a first time poster in the challenges (plus your image made me smile ), I do believe I'm going to award you a wild card entry just this once.

I've edited your post to make your image viewable and also edited the metadata, Folks it's really not necessary to include "all" of your metadata just the basics please (it simply makes a thread too long and after-all this sub-forum should be about images not words) , most of us are aware how to find further info on the metadata of an image via our web browser or image viewing software so short and sweet is good.

cheers for now J

 

Thanks :-)

I have wanted to submit but always seem to be late. Is there anyway i or all of us can get an announcment when a new contest starts?

Enjoy the holidays

I tried that one and it did not work out in our other Challenges, as I had to look up our members web-sites to find the dates that was not seen in thier photo

Please delete me first post on this thread and the photo if it has made ThaiVisaDotCom unhappy.

Hi Folks

Taken this weekend on a border run to Mae Sai. Tourist buses bring Bangkok Thais up for a spot of cheap shopping whilst Burmese cross the border to set up small roadside stalls. Picked a spot early morning right opposite the border crossing and was lucky this bus pulled up opposite to pick up from the hotel. Just a case of spotting the merchants coming through immigration and hoping there was no passing traffic etc.. as they passed the bus. Got lucky after about 70 minutes and the bus left 10 mins later.

Nice shot with the dog, is it in Thailand?

I guess there is a possibility it was taken across the border somewhere ?? (maybe filing account can inform us of the exact location ? ) but with both Thai script on the truck in the background and on the crates the dog is sitting on to it's Thai related IMHO if that is your concern.

cheers for now J 

Nice shot with the dog, is it in Thailand?

Thanks, and the photo was taken just outside Yaowarat in Bangkok.
