"Fire Hydrants or other fire fighting equipment" –Woodyg3's Choice



Post a photo of a Fire Hydrant or other fire fighting equipment.
Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY February 14th.
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 23:59 UTC of the end date.

If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

The Rules

1. Any photo submitted for the Weekly Photo Challenge must be taken using a Nikon Camera! Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread and taken by YOU including all parts of composites!

2. If the EXIF does not show using a browser EXIF app, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is required. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.


3. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry (In other words, no Flikr, Photobucket, or similar links)

4. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

5. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!


There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.



Please note - Rule 2 changed.

Hmm, this could present a problem for us in England (and possibly the rest of the UK and Europe) Fire hydrants in England are normally in a chamber below ground level under the pavement (sidewalk) and covered by a removable or hinged metal plate access cover. As close as feasibly possible to this spot will be a sign similar to the one shown here. The capital H means hydrant, the top number is the diameter of the water main feeding the hydrant and the lower number indicates the distance in metres from the access cover. Sometimes there will be an arrow pointing in the direction of the access point.

Sorry about the topic being limiting. All topics are open to interruption and what is locally available. Maybe some other type of fire apparatus would be appropriate. I think the sign would make a great entry just be sure not to shot or post image until Wednesday, February 14th.

This update solves my original issue and opens up a broader approach wherever one is in the world. Now all I need is a little boost in fitness, some decent weather and if all that fails ------ a box of matches and a bucket of water. :unsure: ;)
Decent weather could be an issue as I am further north than you :(
