Spoke to Dave earlier, apparently there wasn't a huge response, but he'll get the pics up in a day or two.

Come on people, is it a lack of inspiration, time or forgetting the deadline, or can't be arsed? You don't even have to leave your PC if you can find a picture you've already taken that fits the topic. If not, be creative, it won't take long and get a pic!

I had a pic or 2 in mind, but my camera is bust. Thought my phone would be ok but went out to take it and it came out rubbish - phone flashes are a waste of time when it's pitch black!

I've even still got my 2 props sat here next to me that I was using :)

I had an idea too, but never found the ideal location.

I was going to park one of the cars in an entrance that was flanked by brick walls and then take a 3/4 view shot and call it 'another brick in the wall'

Well I had a few ideas - one was an arty shot taken from low down at night, looking up at the car with the full moon in the background (I even looked up to check it was a full moon and it was a few days ago). Which of course, links us to Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon. Phone camera is crap in the dark though, so that was a no go.

Second idea was to take the car down to the docks somewhere, for the good old Otis record - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. Unfortunately never found the time to do this.

The one I was going to do quickly just before the closing date was to picture these on the car:

But I left it until it was dark and the picture didn't come out properly. Can you guess what song I was linking that to? :)

So basically a load of rubbish excuses from me I'm afraid :(
