Photography Competition #52: The Beach

Alex, you are reminding me of what i should have done while i was in Australia. I'd have loved to have done that.

Perth is very expensive though and driving through the heart of the country is generally not advised by many people if you are unprepared. Too big a risk and too much money required to do it, however if you have the money (which i guess you do living in Perth) and the time then i'd say go for it!

Such a beautiful country for you not to do it!

Yeah, a couple of friends wanted to rent a movie a while back, and I had just been watching that "Planet Earth" series on DVD, so when I saw the cover and read "low budget Scottish sci-fi" it was pretty much a done deal and worth it. They did a "making of" doc for the DVD which the guys are quite funny/strange. Apparently they started shooting film in their early teens and this is their first feature. The budget probably did not include the CGI stuff they did themselves, which took quite a few months. It does not overpower the movie tho, it is still very stark and centered on the story/actors.

I've never been to Scotland but my mom's from Nottinghamshire and about half her friends while I was growing up were Scottish, so for that reason I feel a little warm to the place I guess.

£8.000 GBP! Still more money than I've got but pretty inspiring that you could A) buy a newish sub-compact car; or B) make a low budget sci-fi film that obviously got global distribution -- I found it in a DVD rental machine at the back of a grocery store right along with all of Hollywood's latest, *not* anywhere at all obscure.

Exactly my thoughts.

I've got uni holidays from mid november to february and a mate wants to see his family over east and get something done to his car over there. It's the perfect opportunity for an adventure . Will be taking several cars and probably 4 or so mates, and driven across before with parents. So we should have a great time.

Tannas, unfortunately this entry was not accepted because it broke a number of the competition rules.

There is stil time to fix the entry so it is accepted for this competition.

My entry. The beautiful beach of Cancun (Caribbean Ocean) from a hotel balcony. Wish I could go back there.

I wish I could go anywhere like that... I'm in the middle of nowhere (well, America), I'm in Kansas.

I have some beach pictures from the time I went to Michigan... let me dig something up...

Never mind. Can't find them. What a disappointment

Bogey - you should look into cruises to the Bahamas. Tickets can be had for less than $200 for weekend trips. It's a really nice experience! I've been a few times, so if you are interested, I could help you get something together.

Maybe later once I get some money first

Couple hundred bucks - this used to be my college vacation trip. Food's included. Doesn't get much better. When you're ready, hit me up.

Here's my entry. From our trip to Cuba this past April.

The sand is always so white and the water so blue on tropical beaches, thats cool.
