I! Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Many thanks to Hawkins2 for picking my photo as the winner of the June photo competition The rules this month are a little different ... Photos should be cache-related (as normal). At most two photos per person (as normal). Each photo must include the name of the cache and the current number of favourites awarded to it. Every photo must have a different number of favourites! The competition closes when the month ends. I'll pick a winner very soon afterwards. --- Need help posting photos? You can try this recipe: The photo should be attached to one of your cache logs. Visit the cache listing, find your log, then hit "View / Edit Log / Images" (at end of your log). Click the image you want to upload: you'll get a new web page called something like http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/d23bf205-c5a2-4b8e-86e9-9426d0871cf7.jpg When composing your forum post, use the the "Insert image" icon, just to the right of the yellow smiley, and copy/paste that http://img...jpg stuff into the URL box. --- To get you started ... 20 favourites: Glorious Gloucestershire. (So, by the new rules, 20 is now "taken" - future photos must have a different number of favourites.) Quote Link to comment
+little-leggs Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 this was our first ever cache ? http://coord.info/GCEA92 ALFREDS TOWER I would like to clam No "17" for this cache ? Quote Link to comment
I! Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 I would like to clam No "17" for this cache ? Nice photo and nr 17 duly claimed. That's good, you've got the idea! Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 How about this one... ? GCJ62A - The Tower on Holly Hill 13 favourite points Quote Link to comment
+FYI_Geocaching Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Taken opposite GC2RW7H - 0 favourites (well, you didn't say that the cache had to have favourites, just that it had to have a "unique" number of them!!!) And yes, the goslings did indeed join Mum and Dad in the canal, one by one. The word that springs to mind is plummet, rather than jump! Edited July 1, 2012 by Team Airtomoreira Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I would like to claim 37 Favourite points with this photo from our log on Slieve League (Bunglas) on the north coast of Eire. It was all I could do to remain upright while MrB took this shot, the weather was "atmospheric" to put it politely. It's a fabulous location, well worth a visit if you're ever in the area.

+Maple Leaf Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Under Bare Benbulben's Head (County Sligo, Ireland) - currently has 2 favourite points. Quote Link to comment
I! Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Very good, very good ... we have 0, 2, 13, 17, 20 and 37 taken so far. Time for a night owl to upload another photo before the working week is upon us? Quote Link to comment
+rickardclan Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) I'd like to add one on behalf of another team if ok? With just the one favourite Church Micro 774…Pennard (http://coord.info/GC1V60P) was found by team Wenglish on their Daughters Wedding day. Their daughter, who it's worth pointing out is not a fan of caching at all, had no idea the cache was at the church, nor did she know or was she told about it joining them in the picture. So the guys managed to grab the cache and photobomb it into a wedding picture (taken just after the service) - I've not caught up with them since they told me about this so didn't find out what ex-Miss W's reaction to it was, or even if she knows about it yet. But I thought they deserved an honourable mention for carrying out the joke in such an epic way! Edited July 2, 2012 by rickardclan Quote Link to comment
I! Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Oh my word. Please tell me the ring wasn't hidden in that film canister ... Great job on the photo! Quote Link to comment

I! Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Er, hang on, we had that at post #11 for another cache! ( Still admissible ... just a bit mind-boggling ) Edit: actually, no, I'm going to rule it inadmissible owing to the other team getting there first with coordinates closer to the monument. What a meanie! But you can have another go for free. Edited July 23, 2012 by I! Quote Link to comment
+Original A1 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 But keep the photo up. It's taken about a mile from where I grew up, so nice to see what a beautiful day they've been having whilst it pours with rain in Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment

I! Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Many thanks to all who took part this month -- a great effort by everyone as we got photos of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 33, 37, 42, 50, 52, 67, 100 and 173 favourites! Honourable mentions These snaps from The Blorenges, rickardclan, Spanner15 and Splendidz all caught my eye. I still can't believe that the father of the bride turned up with a film pot micro The winner It was a late entry, but what a photo ... and just plausibly cache-related too Well done to Dogfort! DF, before opening the August competition, will you say a bit about how you got such a striking photo? What camera, lens, settings, post-processing ...? Quote Link to comment
+Dogfort Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi! Thanks for selecting my photo. We got the cache on the way into the park and just 33 hours later I snapped this from our seats. No special camera or lens, just experience in getting the settings right. I used a Nikon D90 with a normal kit lens. Shut: 1/60 Ap: 5.0 Iso: 800 White: Cloudy (It brings out firework colours) I took a load more panoramas from the night. Give them a look: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.364941536907722.80089.154163551318856&type=1 Quote Link to comment
