Trying To Bite Own Feet In Flight:

That's the spirit, Lightstream.;)

Pete, you are attempting to fake it......get serious, lad.:evil:

People, it does not have to be birds....could be anything failing to fly.....machines, people, pigs....whatever....:rolleyes:

[Pete]

Pete, you are attempting to fake it......get serious, lad.:evil:


Grump, yeah, I fess up, they weren't attempting flight, simply not bothering to.

Alas, children often attempt flight - it takes a few goes before they realise that the can't...

You see, you can do it.....:lol: :lol:

Meet Rob, the SAS dog. The illustrious Special Air Service attempted to make him fly behind enemy lines during the last war. Unfortunately, the dog suffered from colly-wobbles and didn't make it past the first flight. So our glorious leaders made up propaganda about him anyway.

Here is what appears to be a believer in simplicity and elegance in solutions to complex engineering problems.

Great last shot Snir and good flying kid shot Webby ;-)

[Permagrin]

Just taken w/a p&s on a fam. trip to the zoo (yeah, I know they aren't great shots)...but some of my funniest Failure to Flight moments...

A little flightless waterfowl pretending to ignore this other bird who kept flying circles around him...like "can ya see what I'm doin', can ya, can ya?" :lol: :lol:

Snir, these entries are rejected, There is either no flight intent (#1) or the birds are actually airborne (flying).
The ckickadee is excellent though.

We must maintain a certain quality standard here, otherwise the entire POTN will start posting their failed in-flight photos here.:evil:

Permian, what do you think this is.....a lomography contest ? Dadaisam photography sampler for Polaroid shooters?:rolleyes: These two are rejected.:evil:

However, the baloon is on the theme.

[Permagrin]

:lol: :lol: okay, Pete.
(at least people have heard of Dada/Dadaism, which gives me something to aspire to...even for all the wrong reasons...) :lol:
maybe you could have an "anti" sharp contest next...or an anti "good shot"...:)

The flight was fine, the landing less than graceful...

A fine shot, however, we are not here to debate sophistry arguments and such. We are here to shoot a well defined theme. Rejected.

Hmmm. You are testing your luck now, aren't you.....trying to pull a fast one on me, like James there just attempted foolishly....and he failed, and so do you. Rejected.:evil:

Could use soem editing, and composition wasn't great, but I took it quickly Saturday at high park.

Accepted.
The compo is OK, it is the exposure which needs work. Editing does not cut it boy, gotta expose the shot right with your camera to start with.:evil:

[JaGWiRE]

Accepted.

This was shot Saturday under a very heavy sky, it was already almost dark. High park seemed empty. The exposure could use some work, there is a weird blue tint. I do need to work on my duck shots, but ponds will not cut it anymore. If you want me to shoot ducks, we will have to get together and shoot on the lake. That goes for birding as well.

[PetKal]

A wee duck is trying to fly and flee but the big brute does not let him.:cool:

okay, a couple real (and amusing to me anyway) entries ;)

This mutant Nuzee palmtree could not fly even if your life depended on it...neither can that pigeon, Mopper. Rejected.

The chicken shot is OK.

[Moppie]

T.......... Mopper. Rejected.

The IQ is pathetic but the message is great, so it qualifies.

OK Mopper, I'll buy it just this time.;)

A decent image that however would not qualify if it was not for a genuinely asinine message which accompanies it.......Accepted.

[PetKal]

What seems to be the problem, bird ?

Perhaps.....this one is marginal, in fact it's rejected.

[sugarzebra]

For a Blue Jay.....Failure of flight = Riverdance

[PetKal]

Rejected. No evidence of any flight capability/potential offered. Moreover, not only you've got the image in the wrong thread, it's probably in the wrong forum too.

No, this is at a beach on the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

Rejected. No evidence of any flight capability/potential offered. Moreover, not only you've got the image in the wrong thread, it's probably in the wrong forum too.

You're wrong on this one. I saw it. She tried to fly. This was her llast ditch effort to get airborne.

I am going to have to submit an official grievance to the committee on this one. I insist on reinstatement!

[sugarzebra]

PetKal, I need some help with this one.....lomography, macro, flight failure or just an awful shot :D

OK, if you wish talk to Dr.Zuckerpferd....he is our medical officer and commissioner for bathing & beach issues near nuclear power plants.

[PetKal]

Well, all I see is two Mako sharks devouring a duck's a$$.
Rejected because it's a portrayal of cruelty to ducks.

[sugarzebra]

OK, if you wish talk to Dr.Zuckerpferd....he is our medical officer and commissioner for bathing & beach issues near nuclear power plants.

Not sure if I should weigh in on this one or not, but just for having the intestinal fortitude to post it, I think it deserves inclusion :D :D

[T.D.]

Thank you. Thank you.

That's why you've been bestowed with the power. You are obviously unbiased and willing to take a stand.

Sir, you have my utmost respect.






Eat it, Pektoral! ;)


Re-read your own rules: "THE FAILURE OF FLIGHT"

The cornier, the lamer, the grotesquer, the better.

This shot is nothing if not corny, lame and grotesque!

[PetKal]

OK then, you have Dr.Zuckerpferd to thank for that....accepted (albeit reluctantly).

:shock:

That Nike missile is in the Marin Headlands North of San Francisco. Nike Missile Site SF88L (http://www.atomictourist.com/nike.htm) is open to the public once a month on the first Sunday. It is a completely restored site (well, not the warheads). You go down a stairway and climb up on the missile elevator platform. They open the overhead battery doors and you and the Nike ride the missile platform up into the sun where the Nike is erected into firing position as seen in the picture.

Great fun, and I -am- glad they were never fired in anger.

[PetKal]

Great one David :)

That Nike missile is in the Marin Headlands North of San Francisco. Nike Missile Site SF88L (http://www.atomictourist.com/nike.htm) is open to the public once a month on the first Sunday. It is a completely restored site (well, not the warheads). You go down a stairway and climb up on the missile elevator platform. They open the overhead battery doors and you and the Nike ride the missile platform up into the sun where the Nike is erected into firing position as seen in the picture.
Great fun, and I -am- glad they were never fired in anger.

thank you very much for that Birdstrike :cool:
will have a longer look and read later
