Monaco 50th Anniversary Book Photo Competition

[Pitfitter446]

I’m going to make the effort more often to get an actual camera out(and charge the battery) instead of using the iPad the lazy way.

Indeed, much better. Even a cheap camera (mine cost about £70 I think) can produce half decent pics.

Mine in trackside mode

Luckily I bought herself something more manageable, time ask nicely if I can borrow in now and then.

A lot more manageable!

 

[Pitfitter446]

Yep, like wife’s, the battery for mine weighs more, boys* and toys eh.

*Really long time since I was a boy though.

Me too, but we never really grow up do we, otherwise we wouldn't be 'wasting' all our money on watches!

Wasting!

Here's my weekend's work.

Aquagraph

Yeah, I think that's one book decided right there!

@Count.d has a great pic and is a contender I think as well. However, I noticed in this thread that he's already got the book.

If I win the book, I will be giving it to my brother who also has a TAG F1 and Monaco. Also, the book I have is slightly damaged.

Also, I don't appreciate someone trying to spoil my chances of winning, when it was stated in the rules at the start that it doesn't matter whether people had a book already, as it could go to a good home. This has been a great thread, please don't spoil it. That particular pic took a lot of hours of work specifically for this forum's competition. Thank you.

 

[Mspeedster]

@Count..d I never mentioned anything about the rules or tried to spoil your chances. As I said, you've got a great pic and would be worthy of the prize.

But others who have the book stayed out of the contest, so I just wondered why you entered since you already have the book. Good luck to your entry.

I see your point but also @Count.d perspective. Guess it is up to King Hubert and David to decide

 

[Calibre11]

Correct- I never said in the rules that you couldn't have a second book. Each photo will be judged on its merits.

 

[Calibre11]

OK, with thanks for everyone to entered, I've discussed with @Hubert and instead of giving away 3 books, we've got hold of an additional three to make it six in total ...fantastic entries so only three didn't seem right. Remember that colour was the key to this competition.

So, the six winners are (in no particular order...)

1. @rafabond

2. @Jim Dollares

3. @Aquagraph

4. @Mspeedster

5. @Count.d

6. @Albert-AMG

Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter and congratulations on some really great shots. Well done to the winners and please PM me your mailing address.

 

[Hubert]

Congratulations to all the winners!

 

[Mspeedster]

Thank you very much @Calibre11 (David) and @Hubert ! I am honored and humbled to have my pic as one that was selected.
Very nice surprise having 6 books instead of 3. Super grateful to your generosity!

Congratulations @Count.d , @Albert-AMG , @Aquagraph , @rafabond and @Jim Dollares !!! Well done!

This contest was an excellent idea and loads of fun. Lots of great photos, thanks to all who played!

 

[Jim Dollares]

Wohooo thank you so much

Agree with @Mspeedster it was super fun with a photo competition!

 

[Aquagraph]

Awesome, thank you David and Hubert, much appreciated.

First I get the book, next year I get the watch!

And remember guys, no flipping on Chrono24!

I did notice one book on ebay, selling for $174 USD. I was actually thinking about whether or not to buy it, if I didn't win here.

 

[rafabond]

Thank you very much for everything, I am happy that one of my photographs is on the list
