Blue Cavern

Finally I remembered my idea for the January competition, well it wasn't really my idea because I was inspired by a TV competition.

Ok here's what you have to do..

Take a picture of a smurf and post it here. The best picture will be decided by a poll on the board to run between January 31st and February 7th. This may sound all very boring but the idea is to come up with an interesting place to photograph your smurf. So your smurf could be sitting on a tractor, standing next to your cat, at the top of a famous building, or basically anywhere. If you prefer to use a plush smurf or other kind of larger smurf because your camera isn't good enough for close ups of the 2 inch ones then that is ok. If you enter a photo and then change your mind because you've taken a better one then that is ok as long as you change your entry before 31 January. If you've taken more than one picture then please post the ones you aren't entering on a separate thread.

Just one entry per person, closing date is January 31st.

The prize is £15.00 to spend at www.kittyscavern.com but please note postage cost is not included in the £15.00.

Good luck.

Smurfy regards, Steve.

Super duper cool Karen!

Hehehehe, oh I can't wait to get my camera out!

I have an idea. It's *not* a winner, I can tell straight away, but I know someplace only I can get to For that reason and only that reason, I'm gunna go for it.


Okay, that was a little cryptic. Sorry, I'm just over excited

Or have had to much Jack Daniels

Thanks for the great new comp Karen

Sounds very interesting!!!! cant wait to see that pic Brainy's Babe!!!

Well I am usually last to enter a competition... or leaving it too late... so I thought I would buck the trend and be first this time!!!!

Entering a January competition on the 31st of January! It had to be done...

So here is my entry...

The Scuba Smurf below started this dive on the 2nd of October 2005. It is definetly it's longest dive so far (for the ones who remember: Yes it is the same smurf that did the Horsea Island dive...)

In this tank he is currently surrended by:
4x Guppies (1 male / 3 female)
7x Cardinal Tetras
2x Baby Angelfish
2x Cardinus Catfish (Small pleco)
2x Upside down Catfish
and a pair of Dwarf Gouramis...

Oh! and an apple snail who is about the same size as Scubbie and regularly investigates Scubbie's hat! Tipped him over on a couple of occasions already... but Scubbie is a tough diver: he is handling t very well!!!

He is recording the discovery of the old city ruins of Smurftlantis, the well known city which disappeared so many thousands of year ago... of course.

PS: If you are wondering why the fishy are so blurred... that's because the damned things won't stay still long enough... Sorry Eggie, I didn't mean you...

David, psst... It is 31 December today!!!

Fantastic idea and picture, David!!!

You must know a thing or two about photography to get such a good quality image through both the tank *and* the water!

Colour me impressed

I can't wait to get my camera out. But I have to wait as the right weather is key to my pic.....



Oh, I think you should leave the smurf there as a feature

Mental note: learn to type properly in 2006...

and Nappy Yew Hear everi-un...

Great picture David, so simple yet a fab idea.

I will have to get my brain into gear to think of a good subject me thinks.

... Sorry Eggie, I didn't mean you...

It's ok, I have the same problem

hi! Great picture David!


love your aquarium! I also have aquariums! love them!

I have one just for newts...with water and plants and the other

Nice pic David...that Diver sure looks happier there than my dry one on the shelf. It's nice to know that Stace will have a place to swim when she stays over too.

You never told me you were using the pics for that!

I think you're all getting to know me

Got the pics now and I think I can promiss you they'll be "different" .

On a related subject, does anybody know how to get grass strains out of a Trudi Brainy?

My problem now is I've had a much better idea for a pic using the same location. This is actually a good idea and a sensible competition entery so I'm going back next weekend and I don't know which I'll chose as my final pic

i will get mine done monday all the batries have died so i cant use my camra at the mo till i get some new ones.

Can't wait to see it, Steve
