Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest - №.3 - Vehicles. 40 SBD Prize Pool. #aswcontest

customnature (69)in #aswcontest • 7 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone! Today's the day... the beginning of the third Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest! I'm really excited about it and I hope some of you Steemsters are too. We had a great turnout last week for the "homes" theme and hopefully we can keep that momentum going. Lets get right into it!

**GUEST JUDGE! - ***@donvee

This week we're going to have our first Abandoned Shit Weekly Contest guest judge! @donvee is new to the Steemit community, but has been a good friend of mine for at least two decades now. He's the embodiment of rusty old vehicle gems and I'd be hard pressed to think of a better judge for this theme.

The Contest:

This is NOT a photography contest. The subject matter is what's being judged with the Abandoned Shit Weekly contest, not one's skills with a camera. Honestly, I just want to see some cool abandoned shit. lol HOWEVER, as with any photograph, the "wow factor" can certainly be enhanced with a technically sound execution. Simply put, winners won't be chosen strictly on artistry.

The Prizes:

1st Place = 20.000 SBD
2nd Place = 10.000 SBD
3rd Place = 5.000 SBD
Bonus! = 5.000 SBD - Simply Resteem the contest's official post with your entry!

The Theme:

This week's theme = VEHICLES! The photos must be of abandoned vehicles. Cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, trains, airplanes, boats, zeppelins... space ships. Whatever. Any vessel of transportation.

The Rules:

Rule #1 = Your abandoned shit photo must be posted using the tag #aswcontest for one of your tags. This is crucial so that your entry can be seen/found!
Rule #2 = Your photo must be taken by YOU.
Rule #3 = Only ONE entry per user, per week. Save some content for future contests!
Rule #4 = Tell us what we're looking at! You don't have to write a novel, but let us know what the picture is of, and where you found it. That's the most interesting part! Equipment and camera settings can be included at your discretion, but is not necessary.
Rule #5 = Stick to the weekly theme!.

The Time:

When = New ASW contests will start on TUESDAYS and will end on SUNDAY. Winners will be announced on Monday with awards distributed then as well. I figure it's a good way to start the week!

The HELP:

HELP! - I'd really like this contest to become an established, weekly feature. Resteeming the official contest announcement post here would be a huge help in getting the word out, though you do not HAVE to in order to participate in the contest. I'm just asking as a favor. Also, just mentioning the contest in/on your entry post would help a lot!

New Discord Channel

That's it! Let's see some cool abandoned stuff! Good Luck!

^^^Here's the photo used for the contest logo above. I found these two cars sitting along a remote stretch of road in Death Valley National Park. Holy bullet holes, right?

I think that must qualify as one of those "turning refuse into new wildlife sanctuaries". I've seen them do it for underwater reefs and stuff but it's fun that there's one we can see without learning to dive!

Great post, @vascoracing! If you haven't already, I would suggest that you post your link in a reply directly to @customnature rather than my comment just to make sure it gets seen.

I'd love to know what era they are from. I don't know cars at all. I'd guess maybe 1930's or 40's??? Maybe earlier?

The one in the foreground is a 1955 Buick Special. The other one is probably a 1946-48 Pontiac.

Does the other side help identify it?

donvee (50) 7 years ago

Yup, I was close, it's an Olds, 1946-1948. Has to be those years, since US auto manufacturers were not building cars during WWII, and in 1949 there was a complete restyle of all GM cars. But, I was half-right, because the Pontiac and Olds used the same body, just with slightly different tweaks. This shot shows me the arch of the rear wheelwell being more rounded as opposed to squarish like the Pontiac. Also, the Pontiac would have 3 ribs in the lower fenders. Here's a pic of a 1947 Pontiac (top) and a 1947 Olds (bottom) to compare.
