I wonder if any future contributor might one day cheat? Maybe using an in-app film 'simulation' that affects to turn a 100Mb raw file produced with the latest tech into a faux 'pinhole shot'? It could well happen, & who'd know? It'd just be new variant of misinformation.
The perpetrator would likely be of dark countenance and have a pointy tail, or be dressed in a jester outfit ...
In either case, comeuppance would be at the pearly gates ... I've heard that the mod there is pretty fierce ...

They’d only be cheating themselves, F&C is so laid back it might raise a barely audible tut at most.

Dunno what make it is but looks old maybe it's steam driven?:-
It's probably petrol powered. There's no funnel for the smoke that I can see.
The maniac that drove it has also run over a traffic cone!

Sorry folks, this is slightly embarrasing, the winner of the "Vintage" challenge is myself.
I have an idea for another challenge which I will sleep on and undertake not to enter.

We have a new challenge, titled "Anthropomorphism"
It's easier to do than to spell.
Anthropomorphism means attributing human characteristics to non-human objects. For example, if you've ever taken an image of a face in a tree, an arrangement of windows and doors looking like a face, you've used anthropomorphism.

I spoke too soon, I have loads of digital shots of detailed rock formations that look like petrified old guys but having gone through my film shots (that are scanned which is not a massive amount) I have only come up with one which is a bit of a shoehorn (cos the charachter isn't human) but hey-ho it's for fun so I'm in again.I must have something for this one most of the rock outcrops on the Tors I visit look like petrified old men's faces.

The "Anthropomorthism" challenge has produced a winner .... well done @FishyFish. Who would have thought that a grit bin would have an artistic embellishment.
Over to Nigel to set the next challenge.
I'm glad I don't have to try to spell "anthroporhism" again for the foreseeable future.

I think it needs updating a bit though. It's missing the latest fifty-ish challenges.
