Title: CHAT-Weekly Comp 27 Sep/3 Oct 2010-VISUAL PUN
Post by: Hinfrance on September 26, 2010, 02:07:22 PM
This is the CHAT thread for VISUAL PUN.

Entries HERE (http://cameracraniums.com/forum/index.php?topic=1596.new#new)

Your mission this week is to create a photographic pun, in the literally obvious style of Pan's People; something along these lines (apologies these are both from me) - Apple Pi (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hinfrance/3864708333/), Bermuda Triangle (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hinfrance/3965303605/). Jinky has done some particularly groan inducing images in the past - Give Peas a Chance sticks in my mind for some reason - it's easy to do and a lot of fun to think one up.

Pictures to be taken between 00.01am Monday 27th September to Sunday 3rd October.
Pictures to be posted in the entries thread no later than 23.59pm Monday 4th October.
Poll will be up Tuesday 5th October  until 23.59pm Friday 8th October.
Winner to be announced Saturday 9th October, (winner should post the new topic no later than 23.59 Sunday 10th October).

The Rules for the weekly competition are...

By entering you agree to take responsibility to
post a topic on the Sunday following your declared win
create an entries thread

create a poll for that weeks comp and declare the winner on the Saturday
(if for any reason there is a problem and no subject is posted by the winner by Monday night admin will advise second place winner to post the topic asap, do the poll etc)

In case of a tie, the first entry posted wins.

photos to be taken during the specified dates, ie sunday xx to Monday xx

If I`m better I`m away for a long weekend so got up to try these and fill the boredom.
Was going to do this one - any guesses  ;)

but instead went for this one.

I`d bet you I could reach it but (altogether) ...

I reckon the first one is 'the grass is always greener on the other side', but I'm not sure (all right, haven't got a clue) what the entry is.

Managed to get something, although my first idea went by the wayside.

You're thinking too hard Bob.

Clue coming up - complete this phrase or saying 'I've got a head like a  . . . . .  '

Is that the same expression as " I have a memory like a ....."  :)

I would imagine so Bob. But I can't recall because I've got a head like a sieve.

after several weeks of being busy and a gross lack of time management on my part I managed to get a shot in - ideas thought of last night and executed today - why cant it always be like that ::)

Haven't been round these parts in a while but this comp caught my eye.  I came up with an entry but I'm not sure if it's really a pun.  Howard's doesn't seem to be either so I suppose I'm safe.

I think it has taken me longer to post the pic to my gallery than it took to take and edit it! My Lord it's confusing.  I suppose you folk are used to it.

Anyway here goes:

I'm fine with this Ogga - it's the sort of thing I had in mind - it's the photograph that's the pun, not necessarily the saying it calls to mind - although as always in these kinds of challenges, jinky has managed both :)
