Easter Weekend Photo Competition

[SourcE]

Following up on Brolis\' (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=5460&page=1) idea.

This Easter Weekend is looking good on the weather front (http://www.twn.ca/weather/cities/can/Pages/CAON0696.htm)

Let\'s start this photo competition off.

Your challenge is to take an Easter Themed photo of your 3.
Post all pictures in this thread and we will all vote on a winner.

The winner gets to have his/her picture featured for the month of April in the TM3 Calendar (http://torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=3725) that has yet to be designed...! :p :sarc

Sounds like a great idea.

*Runs out to the Pro Cafe to convince a dancer to pose on the hood of the car in bunny ears..............................and nothing more*

If you can pull that off I\'m gonna go out on a limb and say that you\'re gonna win the contest :p

[Broli]

lol

can we do photochops . . .
lol

;) ;)


nice SourcE

this is a good idea

so, set up a deadline

i think perhaps . . .

one week after easter, to give the straglers time to get up there pics!

this will be fun!

[mEtH]

anyone know where I can find a sheep that is still alive? :p

[SourcE]

Should we allow photoshopping?

The only problem I have with this is that some highly skilled \'choppers can pretty much do anything with a crappy picture of their 3, and that takes away from the \"Photo Contest\" element.

IMO, photoshopping should be used sparingly, like to emphasize the lighting or summit.

Any thoughts?

I always see several on my way to guelph... :zzz

maybe you could borrow one from one of the farmers.... :sarc if you don\'t like the farm scenery, i\'m sure they wouldn\'t mind if you gave one of their sheep a ride in your mazda3 to take it somewhere with a better background.... ;) I can just picture it now... a live sheep sticking its head out of a window of a mazda3.... I haven\'t even seen a dog stick it\'s head out of a mazda3 let alone a sheep.... YET!:hoho I\'m going to stop being mean now... but seriously, I DO see sheep on my way to guelph.... and horses and cows.... lots of cows....

Agreed. If this were the case I wouldn\'t be wasting my time at the Pro Cafe soliciting dancers for this contest. Word of warning. If you\'re going to do this be sure to wear a \"cup\" and be prepared for the weird looks.

Photos should be untouched.

[Broli]

+ 1 photos are not to be touched!!!
+ 1 dancers are to be touched!

lol

:p


and that would be a sick shot
the car surrouned by sheep!
it would be not Baaaaaaaaa D
ok, it would be sweet!

southwest corner of Bathurst and Rutherford. There is a sheep farm south of the Sobey\'s/Tim Hortons plaza.

how\'s that for local ;)

[SourcE]

OK, so a consensus of 3 (Fang, Broli and myself) have agreed that NO PHOTOSHOP\'ING is allowed.

That goes for any part of the picture....

Thanks and good luck.

btw, what the hell do sheep have to do with Easter?

[mEtH]

OKAY OKAY, anyone know where I can find a crap load of gold foil?

[iconicrocket]

Sheep and gold foil?.... I don\'t get it?

What do you have in mind with the sheep and the foil? I\'m thinking BBQ. :D Mmmmhhh..... Lamb chop on the BBQ... tasty. :D

[Broli]

sheeps are not for eating,
if u wanna know what they are for . . .
ask bubba!
he is from a hick town . . .
lol

oh, sh-snap!


also . . .

i don\'t know alot about easter
but i thought it was about bunnies, chocolates, and jesus coming back to life or something?

[bubba1983]

..bastard

[SourcE]

Also, I forgot to mention that innapropriate and offensive pictures should not be accepted, agreed?

We should all be aware of what is appropriate or not, although it would be kinda funny to see a 3 with a roof rack, hauling a bloody big cross...! :p

I don\'t think that’s totally fair. Broli should be allowed to post pictures of his orange car.

I\'m going to have to get back to you on that one. Right now I have the dancer on my hood. The cross brings a different \"vibe\" to the photo and throws of the asymmetrical tension of the composition.

[Broli]

you know on Bloor street at just west of landsdowne
there is a church and a strip club that are part of the same building!

crazy!!

[Cardinal Fang]

Sure would make confession easier.

[Broli]

and potentially more fun . . .

pour me another glass of sacremental wine (or whatever wine u drink at church) . . .

:D

[Xenon]

I find when they\'re on the hood like this - your view of the road while driving is unobstructed.

Guess I can\'t enter photochopped stuff like this (I wouldn\'t want to anyway)

I\'ll see what I can come up with this weekend.

JK

[SourcE]

Just a reminder to get snapping this w/e.

It would be great to get a lot of entries.

[Broli]

u don\'t have to be a pro to be involved
just go out with ur 3 and ur camera
maybe for a nice drive after dinner
and see what inspires you!

should be fun for all!!

WHO???? If you\'re talking about me, I\'m touched that you remember, but I live in mississauga. Fortunately/unfortunately, I won\'t be back in guelph til monday... :p

[Broli]

so it was a shitty day, and i went out to try to get some pics for this!
i took a few i will post em later, but . . .
it is difficult to find some easter themed locations!


looking forward to seeing what u guys come up with!

[JMAK74]

Okay, I\'m drawing first blood on the Easter pics.

Not exactly Easter long weekend themed (as in a rabbit/egg/Stations of The Cross/Passover in the pictures), however they were taken over what was probably the first nice weekend of the year weather wise...

Two submits:
