I'm not trying to be an a$$hole but in the first post it's pretty clear that entries have to have a bit of effort put into them to make it into the comp from now on, if your phone takes crap pics then use a camera, if you don't got a camera, find one, ask your mates, surely there's some way you can get your hands on a decent camera. then you might have a chance of making it into the comp.....

Peter1230, mate, your bike is a very rare bird indeed, if it's possible, can you please get some well lit, clear pictures of it posted up?

Bit of a hint for taking good clear pics, for you and ANYONE wanting to enter their bikes. Same if you are selling one.
If you have to use artificial light, use the flash on your camera as well. It will "fill" any dark areas that are cast in shadow..
If you are using natural light (sun) and the sun is directly overhead, again, USE THE FLASH to fill dark areas. YES, the flash WILL HAVE AN EFFECT EVEN IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
If you can, use morning or late afternoon sunlight for the best lighting. Colours are much better.

Put your bike on a stand, and try using different backgrounds if you can. Garden, shedwall, barbedwire fence. anything to add a bit of contrast to your bike. If it's a dark coloured bike, put it against a light coloured background, eg galv iron fence or shed wall. If it's a light coloured bike, put it against a dark coloured background to make it stand out. (AtomikRider140 did this with his, it's a good effect)
Try taking three pics, from a crouching position. One from directly alongside the bike, one from 1/4-on front (ie on an angle, looking towards the front of the bike) and one from 3/4-on rear. (ie: on an angle, looking towards the rear of the bike).
Remember that for FOTM, essentially you are "selling" your bike. Not literally of course, but you are selling it to the minirider community in a popularity contest... So a great photo of an average bike, will probably poll better than a crap photo of great bike...
AND MAKE SURE ITS SPOTLESS.
Oh, and AtomikRider140, if your atomik wins after my ebay special lost by 1 vote, i'll never buy china again... ha ha ha

^^ man of many talents, lol. thump see i used the hay bail effect... in the back round, lol. and was it just me or did every one else also spray there stand with tyre shine?? lol thought hey.. why not lol. again nice write up thump

 

[thump*140]

^^^ i may indulge in a little photography on the side... been taking pics of bikes for years and years, although when i started, we used things like 35mm slr cameras, kodachrome slide film etc, none of this digital camera stuff... so we had to get the pics right first time, otherwise it was an expensive exercise.. ha ha.. but yeah, the haybale thing was a great idea milfboy. filled the frame, without detracting attention away from your bike. well done!

Peter those pics are much better coz you can actually see the bike in detail. One green part you dont have though is the sprockets lol.
