Photo assignment #17

Time to switch gears again. The theme for this week is a sign. Maybe its a strange translation, a sign for a local product or landmark, or maybe just a bit of funky neon. Have fun with it.



One last suggestion to make this thread more manageable to view, please post only your entries in this thread. Post your comments in the accompanying ‘comment’ thread.

I thought this would be a nice sign for this but had no idea how to set my camera. The neon sign is in a second story window so not only is there noise but key-stoning. How does one shoot neon?

Well, I wasn't ever planning on posting this picture as it was made up for a 10 year old who liked trains and potty humor. However, I think that since it was already "in the can" (pun intended) I submit it for your disgust.

And here is my entry. Nothing like I was thinking of because when I went to take the photo of the sign it was in such a bad state of repair it was not worthing entering

Talking

I know I am only supposed to put in one entry but this is a photo taken at Eucla near the border of Western Australia and South Australia but still in Western Australia. Ceduna, Port Augusta and Port Lincoln are all in South Australia.

Man, where are the signs? Maybe everyone is burnt out after the Valentines. I'll follow Karen's lead and put in one more, hoping others might add theirs. This was a sign I thought was cool,and simple, taken in Salt Lake City in late September 2001.

Not many signs so I thought I would dig this one out. It was taken a few years ago in Ireland. We thought it was amusing....... 11 kms to An Daingean - left or right - take your pick.

Here's my try at a sign, one of a series from an old truck parking lot.
