Weekly Challenge #367 - RED MACHINES
Posted By: UncleVanya, 10-15-2016, 08:29 AM

First I'd like to say thank you to LondonWombat for hosting a great contest last week. I'd also like to thank everyone who participated and say good luck to all who enter this week.

I'm going to continue in the vein of LondonWombat's contest them that he proposed last week but with a small twist.

His idea was for the weekly challenge to start with BLACK, then each subsequent week, move through all colors of the visual spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) and then end with WHITE in the final week (end of November).

- Guidelines for each week would be that the colored area should be the focus of the photo - or a sizeable portion of it.
- Brownie points given to photos that do not have living things in them (algae, fungi, leaves, moss, lichens, etc are exempt).

THIS WEEK's THEME IS RED MACHINES


Any red machine - rusty or pristine will do.

The Challenge will close on Satuday October 22rd, midnight in your time zone.

The Rules:

1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Ricoh DSLR ) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, then the winner will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Examples:

(The first couple are my own shots, the rest below are from Flickr which a license that permits use. Please click through and see other fine shots by these photographers)

It's not the best photo in this thread, but it is the first of a fire truck. It's a 1941 Chevrolet.

It seems most red machines are motorcars. That is all I have; this caddy or an equally average shot of an Austin Atlantic

Saw this beauty in Addo Elephant National Park during my recent visit there in September. Besides considering it unusual to see such a vehicle in a place like that, I also have could not resist the temptation to take a shot.
