Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt 2010 Week 5: Reflections
Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt 2010 Week 5: Reflections
April 26th – May 3rd
Join in on the fun!
Note: if you didn’t get in last week, that’s fine, you can still jump in.
You do not have to go crazy with 20 point photos – If you want, feel free to go get the basic photo & post up. No one will give you a hard time here. We just want lots of people to play along – the fun part is seeing LOTS of scoots with the subject of the week.
This week the subject was suggested by Milktown – THANKS!
I was so impressed with the creative & picturesque photos from bridge week that we are going to try something a little more creative & abstract this week.
Your Scooter Reflected!
10 pts- a photo of your scooter’s REFLECTION
+5 if (in ONE photo) we can see your scooter AND it’s reflection
+7 if the reflection is in glass, plastic, window or mirror
+8 if the reflection is in a painted surface or chromed surface (chromed plastic counts in this category)
+9 if the reflection is in water
(you only get to use the points for one of the above 3 surfaces but if you have a reflective surface I did not mention, PM me & I will add it with points I think are appropriate.)
+2 pts if you are in the photo
+2 points if you are NOT holding the camera
+1 pt for the first pic in this week
Questions? PM me
Photo must be posted by midnight in YOUR time zone on 5/3/10
PLEASE do your own math & include you point total, for the week, with your submission!!!!
General Rules for every week:
-Only one photo may be submitted by each member for each week’s subject. (but if you get a better pic later in the week, POST IT with your new points - PLEASE edit your original post note that you posted a better pic and note in the newer post that it is a replacement for a previous pic.
-Old photos you have lying around can NOT be used- they must be NEW photos taken the week the photo subject was posted
-No Photoshop submissions
-Prizes? Eric says YES! At the end of each month the person with the best point totals for the hunts run during that month will get a prize... but this is about bragging rights & all the fun we will have this summer… not just prizes so play along even if you don’t plan on winning
Prize for April: Modern Buddy Patch (priceless) + a Gen U Bin ($39.95 http://shop.scooterdude.us/GEN-U-BIN-G6.htm)
This is your last chance to get your points in for APRIL – a new hunt will start in May.

Okay, I figure since there is no possible way for me to win this month, the points don't really matter.
I used the review mirror from our Italia scooter to catch the relfection of the St. Tropez.
10 points for a reflection of my scooter
8 points for being reflected in chrome
2 points for being in the picture
20 points total

I totally fell down on the job. I thought last week was the last April date so when I realized I wasn't even close to winning I bagged the bridges photo and decided to start new this week - with what I thought was the FIRST May week.
I'm a loser.
I'm a loser.
I'm a loser.
Allow me to kick myself around the house a little bit as I lament the fact I had a 20bajillion point bridge photo lined up and borked it because I was so focused on points.
I pledge to pay attention to the FUN of the hunt and ignore the points from here on out.
And a grand shout to Scoot Lemont for thinking these crazy things up.
**How many points if I get a photo of a scoot in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror?

Like SarahJ, I rode all over looking for this and that, but ended up in the back yard.
10 pts- a photo of your scooter’s REFLECTION
+5 if (in ONE photo) we can see your scooter AND it’s reflection
+9 if the reflection is in water
+2 pts if you are in the photo
+2 points if you are NOT holding the camera
28 points for the week, and 98 for April.

My luck, I probably would've ended up falling in the pool with my scoot! That would be a real bad day.Syd wrote:Like SarahJ, I rode all over looking for this and that, but ended up in the back yard.

26 for Team BootScootin'Firefighter... that's my beautiful wife with her Seafoam Buddy "Sweatpea". I keep telling her to make an MB username, but she's too busy with school to be active on a forum, so maybe another day. If no good, then I have the same shot but with my ugly mug I can post.

The weather outside is frightful.......ahem........so I had to set up my photo shoot in the garage. It doubles as my husband's, aka the Weasel, workshop.
10 pts- a photo of your scooter’s REFLECTION
+7 if the reflection is in glass, plastic, window or mirror
+2 pts if you are in the photo
A grand total of 19 points. Do I get any extra for having a weasel in the pic?
I tried to get a nice picture of my new mirrors but the flash kept wiping these out..........
Got mine from J & P Metric Cruiser. I'm hoping they won't have the wobbly mirror effect of the originals. They also have a wider view.

This hunt does not end until midnight MONDAY (we got a late start)sotied wrote: No points - after midnight. But it's a photo.
Jeff
so you can add in your points if you want.
I took a similar photo (before taking apart my scooter) but didnt post it because I was hoping for a better one.... but now that have posted yours up, I will throw up mine.
Point totals for the month of April will be up after midnight (probably Tuesday afternoon)

I'm not real impressed with my photo but here it is.
10 pts- a photo of your scooter’s REFLECTION
+5 if (in ONE photo) we can see your scooter AND it’s reflection
+7 if the reflection is in glass, plastic, window or mirror
+2 pts if you are in the photo
+2 points if you are NOT holding the camera
Looks like 26 points for me unless I get bonus points for a reflection in a mirror AND a window at the same time.

or did you want to enter her in the hunt?
I hate to be a point nazi but I had to say no to someone in the street names week that had their spouse (& not them) on the scoot.
Thanks for playing & you should enter the wife with her own photos for May - we have room for more players!
