Bicycle Tag of bike

And cave paintings.

If it's any consolation, I like your pic of my tag better than Oatsie's.

Ha! Looking back it niggles me that the top of the white one on mine is blocked by the arch - not much thought went into it clearly!

I think the gallery is a great idea. KTBee suggested it too in conversation a while back. The problem would be, as wvm said, the potential low resolution of pics. Most I suspect are on mobiles, and even though I use a big old DSLR, my own personal favourites were only on a 3MP setting tor tagging. Still, worth experimenting what size print we could get away with.

Now, back to the tag. Time for some sun yet?

Bring tags north :)

Go get the current one and bring it north yourself!

i dont know how to get there, can someone take me to it, i need to do something today!!

Paging Hoefla - who may have something to say about the form, function and execution of that arch!

I couldn't see the image! no fair!

Has anyone ever considered approaching a gallery to see if they'd do an exhibition of BTOB photos?

YES! let's do it - I don't exactly have a gallery lined up (was waiting for that before hitting go) but I have an event as part of LFA2012 (23 June - 8 July) which isn't very far away at all now...
I'm drowning in work at the mo, but will get on this as soon as I get a minute. everyone who's ever played BTOB still have their images?!

You could always do a photo mosaic using all the photos - That way they wouldnt need to be Hi Res? We would only end up with one photo though.

I've also been meaning to update this...

Here is a quick map/video of all the tags in order...*

...I'll do another video/map when we reach the 500 mark, which isnt that far away...

Try again, Hoefla. Tweaked the flickr security settings.

BTOB film clip.MP4 - YouTube
this made me laugh

naughty red light jumper! tut tut. - ha.

Surely LMNH would be up for giving us a wall?

Happy to handle photo editing/printing duties.

thought it would be nice to take BToB out of Cyclist World - but having said that am waiting on a couple of galleries and they might not happen.

shall I set up a separate thread?

thanks for the offer of help, will definitely take you up on that!

Thief!

Oh, hang on.....

Hi

I copied this from my motorcycle forum.

Basically they are tagging their motorcycle from one location to another. They take a photo of the same spot as the last poster and then take a pic of wherever they want.

I don't think it has been done on here yet. I hope it can be done.

We know, Balki's in on it, too. :)

Another clue?

No, I don't think Balki will ever figure in any clues.

Another clue?

It'd be nice on sunny weekends to see the game zipping along. What seem like easy tags aren't always that easy to people who don't recognise the location.

Excellent! Yes I think a separate thread is required to organise this.

Thanks for your offer Ben.

Should there be a comp to select the all time best photos, or do we/can we print them all?

The stories behind the photos and places fascinate me just as much as the photos themselves, and I guess that partly accounts for its success. It's also interesting to think about what makes people spend time working out locations, coming up with new ones, cycling from one end of London to another for no financial gain/reward. I suppose that's the mentality of play.

If we could do it after the Olympics/LFA/Dunwich Dynamo I could help but I am stacked til then.

Glad the idea wasn't blown out of the water even though I'm a relative newbie to BTOB.

I really want both BToB and polo to be part of the exhibition, but I've had too much work on to deal with things :/

I was thinking that. Perhaps this could be an element of the show?

It's OK. Something to look ahead to :)

Like ever getting another clue for the latest tag?

Brilliant idea

We'd been talking about this (me and Oat44's girlfriend - not sure if we mentioned to him, though - sorry Nick!). Wasn't sure about how to approach LMNH - now I don't have to!

We wondered about the res issue- having a photo mosaic is a brilliant idea, then maybe have larger prints of some of the high res ones.

Happy to lend a hand. I have no artistic skills, but am good at writing 'to do' lists and ticking things off them.

Whatok's tumblr is a good way of seeing all the photos together - I think there was some chat a while back about the best photos - prompted by a couple of Danns' I think. Maybe we use the new thread to nominate.

I do not know here the latest tag is.

new clue please!!!!!

I love the idea of an exhibit with the photos... I thin we should definitely include the write ups posted as well, as that part of what makes the game great...learning about all these interesting/quirky/hidden away places in our city.
