PotM 21: AugustThis month theme is 'pinned'. Define the word, in your opnion, in a photo. Can be any discipline. Submission deadline is next tuesday. However if you need an extended deadline it may be possible to do so....N.B: Could you please attatch the code of your photo with it when you submit your entry as this will make my life a lot easier when it comes to sorting out the voting. e.g
Cheers. |

im back from Les Gets / Morzine next week!

Was that at PORC? | ||

grinch - i'm going to Morzine myself next week so if we don't have the voting done by then it could be 1-3 weeks until it does get done. Don't worry though we have a DH theme for potm coming up soon! However, if the entries are as slow coming in as they are now i will have to extend the deadline so who knows...
Yup! |

But don't hold back on my account because I'll probably come back with nowt.

Have this one nice and fresh from yesterday:
Would that be a pinned shot? |

| Hamish |
I have no idea what "pinned" actually means never mind how to represent it photographically. It seems to be one of those extreme sports cliches used by people with a very limited vocabulary. And all my photos are either "stoked", "sic" or "awesome" but sadly not "pinned". 
Oh well...nevermind... I'll probably miss this one out seeing as I injured myself at the weekend and won't be riding for a couple of weeks. |

Lovely shot Ben!
Oh, Hamish. The idea is to be creative, which i believe is an important aspect of taking photographs. The idea is that we get your perspective of pinned in a photograph a photograph that you describe as pinned. |
||
| Hamish |
It was tongue in cheek, JAW. Hence the smilie. I thought that was pretty obvious. 
Although now that I've been thinking about things I reckon about 85% of my biking photos are maybe "dialled" and not "stoked...

Lets see em then!

I thought you were mocking the theme!! Maybe the theme should be 'cliche's' then so that people can post any dialled, pinned, rad, sick etc shots! I do think that pinned is the most photographically relevant though.... |
||
| Hamish |
I'm not here to do cliches! Here's my version of "pinned"...:
|
||
| jedi |
pinne dis usually refered to when a rider has nailed a corner/berm............i guess | ||
| jedi |
or when theres a voodoo doll made of the rider!
<fact> |
||
| BenAtBedgebury |
Pinned is a rider at the maximum of their control limit (on the edge). 
|
||
| Hamish |
I always thought that "pinning it" meant going very fast... as in "foot pinned to the floor". So "pinned" would mean "has gone very fast"?
I like the voodoo explanation though. Mwahahah! |
||
| JAW |
See another good reason to have a theme like this is that it gets people discussing! That's what we're here for right? (other than sharing photos!)
EDIT: Is anyone else going to post any entries or shall I just start voting? |
