I was chatting with Taz on the phone today and we talked quickly about getting a monthly photo theme running, not really a competition, just something to give you an excuse to take the long route when you pop out for milk

Anything goes, mobile phones, SLR's, compacts.. whatever you have that can snap a picture : ) show us where you are and what you are up to!

This month, the theme will be to get a photo of your car beside a christmas tree!!!. It can be in the centre of a city, in your garage, out in the forest in a foot of snow... it doesnt matter, as long as you get some type of Fir tree in there!. If you can write a little story, feel free!!

easiest challenge yet

You need a photo of the car too CG, there's your problem, you dont have either

problem no problem I dont miss my fl2 at the moment, RRS is more photogenic, but as with all things that look better costs rise proportionately

Maybe I'll nip down to the pine wood that I personally planted later and take a snap (before I fell the trees for logs ) At work

Guess non of these photos are aimed towards the calendar as Martin needs bigger res pics than iPhone etc

Makes no differene, but thought I better ask or is that what the Winter thread is for?

if you want to use it for the calendar help yourself 1995 P38 now dead
2012 FL2 GS Fuji White
winter pack
arm rest pack

The WINTER photo thread is for calendar pics, this thread can be for any pictures, many people take pictures on their phones which are fine in here but no good for the calendar.

woohoo!, finally we got snow... and it kind of dumped here last night : )

We went across to see the father in law and make sure he didnt need any help with the animals or snow clearing I decided to get a quick spin around the surrounding forest and test out the new tyre and wheel combo that Taz helped me sort out

This is what a proper car in a proper forest looks like CG

Weather changed here overnight, -1 at 7pm and +7 at 7am, heavy rain now, miserable.

December has been pretty damp in the UK, not much photogenic weather about, hers something to keep up interest, despite all the rain the rain in this shot was added in Photoshop
