New Winter photo contest

[Niner]

Here's the deal. The photo has to be newly created. To insure this, all photos must have a common soup spoon, or any other kind of spoon, showing in the photo some place as a marker that it is a new photo and not from some time in the past. The subject and rules shall be as follows:

Show a composition with a firearm or firearms of Curio and Relic age, or older, reflecting above average imagination of composition by judgement of the voters. And....a common spoon should be some place in the photo that can be found without difficulty by the viewer as a requirement of this contest.

One photo per person. No photos that you did not take yourself. No substitution of a photo once entered.

A five day voting period will be conducted the first five days in February to determine the winner by majority vote of site members that care to vote.

The winner will get a mug with his photo and user handle as well as the Milsurp After Hours logo on it mailed to his address as soon as possible after he is determined by vote to be the winner.

All photos will be posted in this string.

Contest starts now and ends the last day of January 2011.

As I am proposing this contest I will not participate as a contestant.....although I may post something for the hell of it.

This idea may seem....nuts. However, I made a couple of for instance photos to show that it's possible to do without seeming too obvious.

One of the photos has the spoon at the base of the powder horn . The other just to the right of the rifle butt. Click on the photos to get a better look.

This was a Cabela's kit gun I made six or eight years ago

I did this photo thing to put off bagging those leaves you see..... Guess I better go work on it.

I changed the length of time for the contest to make it go quicker. Anybody who can't come up with something by the end of January probably isn't interested anyway.

All I have to do is lean a rifle against this and the cup will be mine.......mine......MINE.....AH..HA...HA...HA....


sorry, maybe too much caffine...

You aint getting that cup closey its MINE all I have to do now is find a spoon to go in it. Job done.

[Niner]

Hey Vern....looks like you are on to something. Do you know where that giant spoon is?

[Niner Delta]

"The Eat for England spoon is on a path through farmers' fields from Cramlington to Seghill. It is part of the South East Northumberland Wildspace Network."

Where ever that is in England.

I got to admit I questioned the spoon idea because I thought it would stand out like the proverbial dogs b***s but your photos show it can be done and done tastefully Niner. I think I have a RGHC* marked spoon around here somewhere which would be in keeping with the nature of the photo.
