Alphabet thread..post your letters!

[cfpackerfan]

This idea was triggered by Wu, put into effect by Olli in Urban life, and played by many. :)
See original thread HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=205732)

Olli's intention was for his thread to be strictly Urban. That thread has gotten a great response, and many many great contributions.
We have, however, noticed that there are many people here who would love to play, but who do not have many chances to shoot strictly 'urban'.

So that's where this thread comes in.
Post your alphabet pictures here....depicted in any way you choose. As long as it is the subject of the photo that creates the shape of the letter...not shots of the actual letter. Of course, artistic interpretation is encouraged, and all shots are welcome.

We'll use Olli's rules:
1. Each picture should visualize a letter of the alphabet, either obvious or somehow hidden.
2. In each post you can have only one picture.
3. Pictures should be posted in alphabetical order.

I will start off with an A hiding in the grass.
next person have a B?

[J T]

Where is the "B" (or "b") on that bike?

As long as it is the subject of the photo that creates the shape of the letter...

ps. Good start, Cat! :-D

[tommykjensen]

Where is the "B" (or "b") on that bike?


Misread it. Thought it would be enough that the subject had the starting letter b.

[cfpackerfan]

Tommy. ..your bike worked. I could see the lowercase b right in the center created by the pipes.

[eenorton]

That's a great "A" Cat. Now I'll keep my eyes open for non-urban letters too!

[Skrim17]

Thanks for starting this Cat, I actually have some of both YAY ME!!

[J T]

Tommy. ..your bike worked. I could see the lowercase b right in the center created by the pipes.

I'd like to see that again. I believe you, Cat. ;-) Sorry for being so quick to criticize your picture, Tommy. :o Please repost.

[tommykjensen]

Nahh I think somebody else should post the b. I did not see a b in my photo but only posted it because of beginning letter.

[cfpackerfan]

In an effort to get us moving, I'll post B as well....
Anyone for a 'C' ?

[Becky N]

Does this beak make a C?

[DAVE TAYLER]

How this for a 'C'.

[DAVE TAYLER]

Nice parrot pic, Becky N. but I dont think it's a 'C'.
Mine could be a 'C' or a 'SEA'.

[pool guy]

how about 3 D's.. onto e

[pool guy]

two good C's, love them both.

[DAVE TAYLER]

WOW ! 3D imagary now !!! What next??

[stevieboy378]

:D

[Eagle]

I couldn't find a good E but I have some others for later so I'll wait.

[Darsk47]

E - left hand, 3 fingers

BTW - I really enjoy this thread and the one in Urban Life it spawned from !

[BeccaNH]

There are a few obvious E's in this one, but one hidden on the front of the second trailer. Ooops... too slow! Good E Darsk47!

[BeccaNH]

How about an F...

[cfpackerfan]

[Skrim17]

I'm having the hardest time finding a G!!!

[eenorton]

Nice parrot pic, Becky N. but I dont think it's a 'C'.


Awwww. :cry: I thought it was a *great* "C".

[cfpackerfan]

Awwww. :cry: I thought it was a *great* "C".

Definitely an awesome 'C' ;)

[eenorton]

heres a good nostril G...

LOL! Good one!

[Skrim17]

What happened ot the nostril G??

[eenorton]

What happened ot the nostril G??

I dunno. I really liked it. :confused:

[Skrim17]

and it was so official sounding "the nostril G" like it is a know n fact that nostrils are G's!!

[pool guy]

its gone, it wasn't mine..forgot about the rule...sorry

[Skrim17]

and its too dark to photo my cat's nose...

[eenorton]

And I looked at my puppies' pictures and their nostrils just don't do the "G" justice.

[cfpackerfan]

Get ya a big flash Crissa, LOL.
Now we are all going to be looking at our pets noses for letters, LOL.

How about this for a 'G'?
On to 'H' :D

[Jamie Holladay]

[short5]

The horse on the left was showing the other how to do a k on to L

[Jamie Holladay]

You have TWO L's at the ready?? ... ;)

Thats just wrong. I might even have a V now that I think about it. What you got....? Where that K?:D

Oh gosh this place is some much fun!

[short5]

Thanks Cat like I didn't waste enough time on TPBM:rolleyes: :D

[cfpackerfan]

EXCELLENT k Zane! :)

[thomascanty]

It's official. I no longer have a life. Now I just hop back and forth between a couple threads here, while browsing my photos in ACDSee looking for letters. I'm never going to get anything done again! :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

:) :) :) :)

Crissa...pssst! Do you have an L??

[Jamie Holladay]

This pig has an M in his ear.

[misspix]

Great! Another subscribed thread to keep my eyes on! :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

I love that M :lol:

[misspix]

How's this for "N"? If so, on to "O"

[thomascanty]

How's this for "N"? If so, on to "M"

We're going backward now? :)

[cfpackerfan]

We're going backward now? :)

ROFL!

[Jamie Holladay]

I think this works for "O"
http://www.24zero.com/potn/Matt%20Wheel%20002.jpg
Now of a "P"

[Jamie Holladay]

Actually there are 8 "O" can you find them all?

Edit: and the sig dont count

[misspix]

We're going backward now? :)

Why, yes we are! :p Sorry, a little tired after long weekend. Will edit:lol: :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

That's a great O Jamie. Even though Terri thinks we are on M. :lol: :lol:
And yes, I see all 8 'O's. I watched Sesame Street as a kid. Im smart like that.
Anyone gotta P?? LOL

[thomascanty]

Actually there are 8 "O" can you find them all?

I see 7 of them. Or, are you counting the tire and rim as two separate ones?

Nevermind. I missed the Skoal can...

[thomascanty]

Anyone gotta P?? LOL

Isn't that a bit personal?

[pool guy]

two P or not to P... on to Q

[short5]

Isn't that a bit personal?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[pool guy]

theres no p in this pool

[thomascanty]

I think I found a Q. The barrel in the upper left with the board it's resting on, forming it's tail.
http://www.ldphotography.net/alph/q1.jpg

Hey, R! You're up.

[Becky N]

R, in the main panel the lower left hand corner, the blue and red glass frames form an R:

On to S

[thomascanty]

S (the river -- a little is obscured by the rocks, so I hope this is good enough):
http://www.ldphotography.net/alph/s1.jpg

Next is T, unless we're going backwards again... :D

[Jamie Holladay]

T, I thik the rear wing makes a nice "T"
http://www.jamieholladay.com/BMS!/P250_0011.jpg

[Skrim17]

bridge makes a U
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/POTN/U.jpg

[thomascanty]

Anyone have a V they can post, so I can get my W up? I have to leave the computer for a bit soon and would hate to miss my chance... ;)

[Skrim17]

if you let me post twice in a row I"ve got one ready

[thomascanty]

Is that allowed?

[Skrim17]

there should probably be SOME time between my posts. lol

[thomascanty]

Yeah, I wouldn't feel right doing back to back posts, either.

[Skrim17]

OK, 35 minutes. Here's my V

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/skrim/POTN/V.jpg

Go Lonnie Go!

[thomascanty]

Thanks. And it looks like I made it back in time...

I think the W should be fairly obvious in this one.
http://www.ldphotography.net/alph/w1.jpg

X is next...

[Olli]

This is amaizing! In less than 24 hours six pages of replies! (And none in urban alphabets anymore :confused::D) There was an obvious need for this thread. Great Cat, that you started this.

And absolutely clever pictures all here.

[Becky N]

X in the web by her knee:
http://performancephoto.us/images/Refaire06/RenF%20Earth.jpg

Great W, Lonnie... on to Y

[Pete]

Pretty obivous where the Y is here...

[Pete]

Wondered why TPBM suddenly slowed down....

[thomascanty]

Wondered why TPBM suddenly slowed down....

We found a new addiction... :lol:

[DAVE TAYLER]

Z on the twisted chimney stack (?)

[Jamie Holladay]

and a Z
Woops I crashed

And daves is more creative anyway

[DAVE TAYLER]

OPS! Just realised... itsthe wrong way round. (sorry).

[thomascanty]

Looks like the right way to me... Good Z!

That's one alphabet down. Who's got an A to start it all up again?

[DAVE TAYLER]

Thanks Jamie - I just got a glimps of yours before it went to data heaven.
Good shot from what I saw.
(and mine is the right way round, it's been a long day!!)

[DAVE TAYLER]

For interest, here's where the Z came from.
Old house near Rugby, Warwickshire, U.K.

[DAVE TAYLER]

Where's my pic gone ???

[DAVE TAYLER]

AH - It was too big....

[Jamie Holladay]

Thanks Dave.
Your photo is still there.

[DAVE TAYLER]

Confusion reigns - I was trying to attach a pic of the house and being both new to the internet and digital photography, I think I messed up.

Sorry.

[cfpackerfan]

Woo Hoo! Our first full alphabet. :) :)

Who has an A?

[Skrim17]

Great house Dave, looks like it is good for X as well!

[DAVE TAYLER]

Here we go again......

[cfpackerfan]

Great A!

[DAVE TAYLER]

Great house Dave, looks like it is good for X as well!

Thanks but it would spoil the game to use the same pic twice...

[thomascanty]

Thanks but it would spoil the game to use the same pic twice...

I think it would be ok as long as you don't use it twice in the same alphabet run. It definitely wouldn't be kosher to use it twice for the same letter, though...

[thomascanty]

This idea was triggered by Wu

I just noticed this in the OP. How was this all triggered by Wu? I missed that post, apparently. So, she's responsible for us looking for letters in our photos, looking for reflections, and she's the master at planting ear worms? Is there anything else I should know about this dangerous creature? :lol: ??? (Just noticed the links to past messages, but it still doesn't really answer my question.) Must be my bedtime...

[Pete]

Hmmm.. Had to struggle for this one. But you can kinda see where the B is....

:D It started as an idea in Olli's post of a "Naked Lady in Red light' in the Urban section. Look at this page (http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1874673#post1874673) for a better idea of how it all started.

[cfpackerfan]

Pete, that inside look at your(?) nose is truly disturbing. :shock:

[Pete]

Even more disturbingly, it's someone elses nose!!

[Skrim17]

LOL!!

[misspix]

Pete: LOL!
Wonderful avatar I might add.

[Pete]

Pete: LOL!

Many thanks Terry. Very tight crop of one of my favourite photos at the moment. I do love meerkats...

[DAVE TAYLER]

Does nobody have a 'C' ?????

[Pete]

I'm still waiting too... C is SO easy too...!

[Jamie Holladay]

NOPI man's mouth makes a "C"

http://www.24zero.com/MISC/nopi%20man.jpg

On to "D"

[Pete]

There's any amount of D's in this one...
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a294/peteghia/Scotland-2006/IMG_1448.jpg

[Eagle]

Here's an E

[misspix]

"F" on the grill (c'mon, use your imagination:p ) I do believe "G" is up

[short5]

I can sorta see a capitol G. If thats not to much of a stretch H it is

[thomascanty]

Here's an H (the roof of the greenhouse in the lower right corner):
http://www.ldphotography.net/alph/h1.jpg

I is up.

[Skrim17]

[Skrim17]

[short5]

There is a whole alphabet in there Lonnie

[misspix]

My son's arm makes "L"
M, your up!

[short5]

M go to N

[misspix]

Zane, your kitty's eyes are a little spooky.

[short5]

Zane, your kitty's eyes are a little spooky.

Dead cat walking in that picture. He didn't last but a few days or so after that picture:( Good eye Terri. He had lots of names but Moody fit best. R.I.P.

[misspix]

My sympathies. I lost my very best kitty friend a couple years ago. I still miss him.

[Pete]

An 'N'
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a294/peteghia/Scotland-2006/IMG_1434.jpg
(hoping desparately that no one apart from Lonnie spotted my dyslexia attack!)

[thomascanty]

An 'O'

Don't we need an N first? I know you Brits tend to spell things funny, but you haven't eliminated any letters from the alphabet, have you? :D

[Pete]

http://www.stownersclub.com/graemlins/shy.gif

[thomascanty]

O:
http://www.ldphotography.net/alph/o1.jpg

P is next.

[Pete]

Wow, where did you find that, Lonnie?

[thomascanty]

Wow, where did you find that, Lonnie?

See this old thread to learn all about it (probably more than you ever wanted to know... ;)): http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=63366

[Pete]

Great story, the tourist version, that is...

[thomascanty]

Did you read all the replies between Bruce and John, too? That's where it really gets interesting...

[Pete]

Yep, read the entire thread. Would be really nice if more threads had this kind of discussion. I love to know the story behind photographs and the subjects therin...

[cfpackerfan]

I gotta P: :p
Anyone have a Q?

[Darsk47]

Lei around head + pendant = Q !
