Northern Ireland Outdoors Forum - Hiking, camping and more

This months theme will be "OUCH" chosen by last months Winner, MudGoat.

With the rare appearance of the sun here in Ireland and our pasty fair skin I'm guessing there might be a few sunburn photos sent in this month  :D

All members who submit an entry will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a Zippo Hand Warmer.

The Entry that gains the most votes will be crowned this months winner and will get to select the theme for the next month's Photo Competition.



Please email your entry for the Monthly Photo Competition to here: [email protected]

Please do not post in this thread until the photographs have been displayed, then the chat can begin.

For fairness, submitted entries will not be displayed until after the closing date.

All entries need to be submitted by Midnight on Sunday 30th June and will be displayed here shortly after.

The Monthly Photo Competition is open to NI-Wild Members only.  Only one entry per member per month will be accepted. Please remember to include your NI Wild Username when submitting your entry.

No specialist equipment is required to enter this Photo comp and remember you're the photographer, so your interpretation will be respected.

Working with the chainsaw today, maybe get a good pic later  ::) (already got a nasty bruise from an iron bar this morning >:( )

Not too many members experiencing the "Ouch" Factor this month, which I suppose can only be a good thing.  Wouldn't wish pain on any NI Wilders  ;)

This months Ouch entries can be viewed below. 

Your vote is as important as the entries themselves so please get involved and support our keen photographers and the hard work that they have put in  :)

Voting will remain open until Friday 5th July 2013

Vote cast. Nothing from me this month again, think we need to see a return to topics that everyone on an outdoors forum would have an entry for. Mountains, rivers, beaches, outdoor activities etc.

I tend to agree... Entries have dropped dramatically since we have started moving off-topic.  I liked the idea of "Ouch" as a theme until I actually got round to trying to come up with something.  I was either going to have to dig through my back catalogue for a shot of a past injury, fake an injury or cause and injury and get myself a good lawyer to get a GBH charge against me quashed  :D

Well done all that did come up with a shot to match the theme.

Surprisingly, "Beaches" or "Mountains" have never been selected as a theme so for the next few months we will try to encourage the theme picker to think of something outdoorsy.

Good Luck all that entered this month  :)

All good creative thinking from the entries!

I can think of a few Ouch moments but don't tend to take a photo of myself at the time... just a difficult one.

I could have taken a picture of my foot but it would not be for the faith hearted to look  :o

I thought Dave might have posted his TGO toe pic  ;D

This one? I didnt think it was very good lol I was sure I had one from a few days later were it was oozing stuff but I cant find it.

Oh dear, oozing stuff from it would have been a winner!

Well done number 2!

Congratulations number 2, get well soon  ;D

Well one kylel

Another very challenging theme again this month but congrats goes to KyleL for his extreme "Ouch" of a Hikers Sunburn... Quick, grab the Camomile  :D

Well done Kyle on your winning injury, you put in the time and hard work, and it payed off buddy,  ;D
