Weekly photo challenge. 15.4.13 – 21.4.13 – Panda Portrait.

A little bit different this week, as you are the subject for your own photo.
For those who don’t know, a Panda Portrait is a picture you take of yourself while riding a bike.
This[/url] should give you an idea of what you’re aiming for.

The rules;
1. Take a photo of your bike with something that matches the theme in the picture.
2. Interpret the theme any way you like.
3. Pictures should be taken between the dates in the topic title.
4. If you post a picture you can either suggest a theme for next weeks challenge or vote for someone else’s suggestion. First suggestion to get two supporting votes becomes next weeks theme, probably

Shirley you mean ” a RocketDog “??

Moi, sexy hey..

This photo was taken 21 hours ago using a Samsung Galaxy S III.

Consider this your first written warning at 09:47 on Monday 15th. 👿

Phah, who got out of bed the wrong side this morning… 😆

These are proper rules.
They’re not like red traffic lights, where you can choose whether you want to obey them or not.

Might manage one in between the showers!

Had a go this morning

Was busy looking out for potholes etc but may try for the Danger Panda later in the week.

Wee bit wet and windy hence the trousers and zipped up to the neck look 🙄

A quick hour’s blast this arvo in some lovely warm sunshine would you believe?
Not a great photo….

Danger Panda

One i took (quite alot) earlier that’s a better pic with a proper SLR and everything 😉

i don’t want to hijack Graham’s thread but if you want to do a danger panda & add it to the flickr group check the rules 1st, it’s a very strict group, i moderate it a lot. only about 1 in 50 pictures get through to the group

anyway, back to Panda portraits everyone

Not this sort of thing then?

First homeward bound commute of the year with no coat needed! 🙂

I havta second ‘cafes and cakes’ as a theme.. it’s pretty much in my marriage vows

I WIN!!!!!

had a few goes

Looks fun, time to take the camera out tomorrow, bi hard with a touch screen phone.

^^^^There he goes- grabbing his crotch again 😆

Can i get a Michael Jackson style ‘He heeee’

Looks fun, time to take the camera out tomorrow, bi hard with a touch screen phone.

Pop it on 10 second timer…thats what i did..

Don’t know whether riding a bike indoors on a beige carpet qualifies as a different sort of danger panda?

Rossi46 i see lots of talk but no pictures in the danger stylee

harder than it looks this one, rocketdog makes it look easy 😉

anyway my best effort

harder than it looks this one, rocketdog makes it look easy

He sure does. Was going to try a no-hander but doing one handed today was dodgy enough!

For every successful pic there are many faliures i can assure you!

Had a go at Danger Panda last night, was a bit wobbly with a nightmare headwind.

😀 Can I get the t shirt now ?

The story of a failed Danger Panda..

Step 1. Nice Panda to set up a good angle etc

Step 2. Trying for the Danger Panda – good start, no hands, bike in motion and in shot – just need to turn my head and look at the camera

Step 3. Aaaah.. Balls!

As a suggestion for next week how about Cafe’s and cake?

Oh yes 😆

Tis harder than u think.

How about funny signs again, they’re always entertaining.

Very tricky.

Rocketdog you must have a fairly wide angle lens to get them shots or very long arms.

I’m gonna suggest Spring for next week because I think it’s something to celebrate especially after todays weather.

I tried to get out for a ride yesterday but was defeated – this chemo is just poison 😉 Anyways I managed to ride round the garden dodging the washing and the dog 🙄

Penmachno yesterday:

I need to practice this particular skill a bit more I think…

Shows off my belly nicely I think.

Peak District Danger Panda

More of a pup portrait than a panda portrait…

Next weeks challenge.
