My All Time Favorite C-Dory photo

With all the great photos out there, maybe we should have a 2006 Best C-Dory Shot Photo Contest. One entry per boat, judging late next fall once everyone is froze up.

Great idea. This has been an entertaining thread, to say the least.

Suggestion: Maybe one entry per boat, and/or one additional entry of another boat by the photographer. I imagine many will want to see the best picture of -their- boat entered, but may also want to enter the best picture they -took-, which might very well be of someone else's boat.

I'm not sure I stated this very well, but you probably get the idea . . .

P.S. I hope the 'boatless' get to vote!
 
Yes, great photos! thanks to all....

Yes, Ed, if the picture taker enters the picture takee, then the takee can still enter a picture taken by the takee, whether of the original taker, the original takee, or by the secondary picture taker taken... ooorrr what you said.

I can't find the photo I'm thinking of but I remember a photo of a C-dory in front of (I think) the San Franscisco skyline with (I believe) an sunrise or otherwise fabulous sky. Anyone else have a clue of what photo I'm talking about? I think it might have been a front page photo at one time.
 
Roger (SeaDNA),

I believe the photo you're thinking of is this one in San Francisco on the 2005 Delta/SF Extravaganza. My boat, Dora~Jean is in the center and Sealife (Mike) is to the right. Great shot indeed! Photo taken by Brent and Dixie on Cygnet (previous TomCat).

"Digger" here on "Snoopy-C". Thanks for the positive remarks on the photo. It was a super hi-res photo taken with a Sony Mavica camera, but had to be toned down to fit on the photo you see. He sent the photo to me over a phone internet connection, and it took forever to download, and I had to scroll all over the page to figure out what he had sent me. It was taken about 10 miles offshore at the Barkley Sound, and my biggest worry when my buddy was piloting his C-Dory within about 20 feet of me, and closing fast. The guy waving was not doing the piloting -- just standing there ready to get his line in the water (he always is first to get fishing).

Red Fox has cool photos on the C-Dory site, but mine didn't make it. I guess we all have favorite photos. Mine are those that have a C-Dory in them. Regards Brats............. Ron :lol:
 
Roger,

The photo is of the San Francisco skyline. Taken at 6 AM on the last day of the 2005 Delta/Bay Extravaganza. Photo was taken by Dixie, with a 3MPG HP camera. Just a lucky shot when the light was perfect.

Man we are getting some great photos in this thread! :D I've asked Mike to set up an albumn for "All time favourite C-Dory Photo's" (OK, OK we can use the American spelling of favorite.) yesterday and today he's already got it done. He's going to explain where he set it up and the rules of engagement of posting your favorite photo. My hope is we'll get people posting some photos that we haven't seen to date.
Hopefully we can come up with a way to do a "vote for your favorite" as was suggested in an earlier message, tally the votes at the end of the year and have a 2006 winner, who will get wonderful prizes like their photo on the front page, and a free beer at a C-Brats gathering and all sorts of other wonderful prizes.
I'm looking forward to the competition and may the best (or luckiest to get the shot) photographer win!
Cheers
Ron

I thought so but was confused by the posting of it in a SanDiego album. Lucky shot - great shot, both true.

The beauty of digital photography is that now all of us can afford to take enough photos to get the occasional great shot. I find my great shot to good shot to crappy shot ratio is about 1:10:1000. I don't think that changed when I made the switch from film to digital. The only difference is that I don't have to pay for all the crappy shots and then (for reasons that can only be explained by how I was raised) have to agonize over how long I'm "obliged" to hold onto prints that captured some good memory in an ugly/poor print.
