Hello.

I am in the final of the vango photography competition!

Please can you vote for me? Finalist 3!

Thanks!

Vote Here!

Voted.

Voted too for the one I liked best.

Me too. Some of those pics you'd hardly know there was a tent there at all. 😀

This may have back fired. I love number two!

Although I haven't voted 😆

Thanks!!

Well you're winning so far… but I voted for #6.

i like #3 and #6 – the rest dont look very inspiring.

Voted for you but 6 looks good

Tracey

you're kicking butt. Nice colours. The snowy mountain (2?) nearly edged it.

Well, I liked 1,2,4,5,6 and 7 🙂

I prefer 6 and 7.

Well 6 mainly, but 7 looks quite commercial and has a pretty neat composition (apart from the girl bending into the tent – she should have been facing camera more to be properly commercial).

But I voted for you anyway, seeing as you asked nicely – good luck 🙂

I thought I'd vote for the best one, turns out it was you I voted for anyway.

Somehow I assumed yours was the (bit dull) bikey one.

Nah, mine is the canoe one with the nice evening light. The image size on the Vango website doesn't really do it justice.

See it biggerer here!

Streuth – didn't think any of them were worth voting for but good luck to you anyway.

Heather Bash – I assume they are not professional photographers, just campers with cameras. I think that expectations should be adjusted accordingly.

😉

2 and 3 are nice.

I'm not sure I like the idea of coming along and asking people to vote for you, assuming some visitors just click-click-and click without thinking because you're an STW member, its a tad unfair on the others. I hope everyone puts thought into their choice, though I'd happily put 3 down as one of the two best.

Why do I never find these competitions? I've a couple of shots that could have been entered!

That said, I've just modified my Vango tent because it wasn't really cutting the mustard!

i voted for you despite the fact i liked the glow-in-the-dark tent the most.

That said, I've just modified my Vango tent because it wasn't really cutting the mustard!

Well that's your problem – tents aren't made for cutting mustard. Perhaps I could suggest a small knife.

I voted for the one I thought was best, which wasn't yours, sorry. But you're winning by a mile anyway.

Fair point Coffeeking but of course all other entrants can do exactly the same on forums/facebooks/twitters etc. And no-one is forced to vote for mine if they prefer another picture. I have just asked nicely that people would.

There's still a few weeks of voting to go, things can change.

Surely this is just like any MP campaigning before an election. 😉

and I don't win anything other than Kudos of having my picture used in their marketing stuff.

It's not like the BBC fixing their competitions or anything!!

Done – and good luck

(although a little bit of butt action aka pic 7 would have helped!)

😆

>I think that expectations should be adjusted accordingly.<

Was a bit cutting but thanks for that patronising observation – expectationometer had already been adjusted;-)

Voted, but not yours

Thanks all for voting!

I didn't think yours was all that great until I saw it full size – very nice. So I voted for you. You're right, the small size doesn't do it justice.

Good luck

sorry i voted for 6. good luck though

I went with 6 too, can hardly even see the tent in number 3, number 1 is wining now.

Not just me canvassing for votes!

Ah, but you've just revealed you posted on a canoe forum as well!

Hmmm.

I would rather be in your photo than any of the others, though. 2 is a close second.

Done. 1 looks to have taken the lead currently, get voting everyone!

Images 2 and 3 look to have at least some attempt at composition about them.
I see the predictable one with the kids (and the parked cars) is winning.
Proof positive that most people are Luddites when it comes to images / photography.

i don't like the red canoe and blue tent

can you change the tent to purple?

ha ha. yeah maybe I should have painted my canoe to match my tent… Sadly I don't do photoshop, so what you see is what you get!

I just went back on to see the current scoring and I had to vote (again) to get the scores.

So – you can multiple vote it seems (which is particularly rubbish – it should be restricted to one vote per IP address).

So leave us all alone and just vote for yourself 2,000,000 times.

😉

Looks like Number 1 has teh backing of a bigger forum…

It is limited to one vote per IP apparently. but if you delete the cookies in your compute it allows you to vote more than once. But I haven't done this as that would be cheating and they will be checking to see if there is a number of votes with the same IP. And anyway it's only a bit of fun!

I think Number 1 has more facebook friends than me. It's got a cute girl in it and it's camping near the car. It's what people really want. 😉

My pic was taken here.

I like the composition of 2, but 6 is overwhelmingly the best as far as I'm concerned. It just conveys eveything about wild camping, long days out, darkness setting in, and a warm, cosy bed waiting to be crawled into. Lovely atmospheric photo that got my vote.

HELP! I'm 300 votes behind no 1!

😉

Added to your votes 299 to go 🙂
