R nineT Photo Tag Challenge

70285 Views 608 Replies 66 Participants Last post by  UGS_Tom
Based on similar photo challenge threads/games I've participated in I'd like to propose one for our R nineT forum.

The concept: Someone posts a photo of their R NineT, any flavor, with some category of landmark in view. It can be most anything at all - a church, post office, bridge, dam, scenic overlook, beach, lake, etc. That photo is the "Tag", and to capture the Tag someone must then post a picture of their R nineT with that same category of landmark in view. They then become "It", and may then post a photo of their bike in front of a new landmark type, which becomes the new Tag.

General (simple) Rules

• Make the landmark something that somebody who lives most anywhere on the planet can take a photo of. Good photo theme example: Gas station. Bad photo theme example: Palace currently occupied by royalty

• Don't post something that costs admission. Example: On a ferry boat

• The spirit of the game says that the pictures you post for both the old Tag and your new Tag should be obtained by riding somewhere and taking new pictures. Scouring your hard drive for a two year old picture of your 9T parked at a tunnel is not the idea. Having an excuse to go ride your bike somewhere to take a new picture IS the idea.

• It helps to be clear what the theme is when you post a new tag. Saying "Barn" in the post will help when there is, perhaps, a barn, a lake, and a boat in view in the pic.

• If a given tag languishes too long without a new Tag then someone can request a Mod to declare the Tag to be open to anyone. (Assuming the Mods are willing to accept that role.) What constitutes "too long" will be up to the mods.

• Additions or changes to the rules can be suggested to the Mods, who could then modify this original post.

Clear as mud?

Again, the idea is to give folks a reason to ride their bike somewhere and get a good photo. Everyone who clicks on the thread should see a series of fun 9T pics.

I'll start.

NEW TAG: Barn



MODERATOR EDIT - have a read at the first few replies and the format and challenge should become clear. :)

Could we please keep the Tag Challenge generalised. Something like 'Trees in Colour' or 'Field of Flowers' would help those members not currently enjoying Spring weather. :cry:

My deepest apologies to everyone in the southern hemisphere.

I was really hoping to see the tag grabbed by someone from Holland before the end of day, but that was far too narrow minded of me.

I'm expecting we're going to get antsy for you to call out a new tag for us to chase though.

So it seems practically impossible to find funny mailboxes in NL,… at least in the area Iive… boring Dutch people! Anyway this one has funny, story, my mum used to play at this address when she was young teenager,… later my dad and mum bought part of the land their new house was on, not realising it used to be part of the original estate where she played!!

so old tag: “funny” email box…. Well it also has a horse on it, that is kinda funy, right?

Big skies and huge views. This is a photo of Albuquerque NM as seen from the Sandia Mountains. This is the peak known as the Crest.

New tag:

A location made for or made famous by cinema or television. This is Maggies Diner which was originally created for the movie Wild Hogs in Madrid, NM.

Next time remember you're supposed to have your bike in the pictures, showing that you rode somewhere to get the tag. 🙄

Old tag - something out of place, ( sorry, it’s another ship not where it’s meant to be.)

New tag - a sign at the entrance to your local national park. Or if you can’t manage that it could be the sign to a wildlife refuge, wetlands, bird sanctuary etc. You get the idea, some sort of protected land. But a national park is the gold medal, silver for another answer.
