Default Photo Competition XX -Flight- - 08-12-2009, 20:14

The Theme:

'Flight'

The Rules:

- Photographs must be taken by you - no nicking them off the Web
- Photos must be taken specifically for the contest - get out there and get snapping!
- One picture per person.
- No excessive digital manipulation (i.e. adding a more dramatic sky from another photo to your picture, or creating negative images etc.). Cropping, and adjusting levels, contrast, saturation etc. is ok though.
- Equipment: Anything goes as long as the results can be seen from here.
- Voting takes place when the contest closes.
- The winner of the contest gets to choose the next subject.
- The entire community is allowed to vote for one picture in the voting thread

Sorry this is late and also sorry if I did this wrong. I'm not as computer savy as I try to convince myself I am.

Flight. Oo, that's going to produce some intersting results. The big question is which definition to use before I start snapping away... Hmmm!

Aghhhh. Eleven days left and not a thought has entered my head. Sorry, I tell a lie. Several have passed through but I'm damned if I can get hold of two inner tubes, four bedsprings and a thousand metres of clothes line.

Betcha that's got you all thinking now....

I do have one picture I might post, but I'm hoping for a better shot. I'll try a few more times and post the best one.

We have lift off....

I hate the delay on digital cameras. There were 70 other attempts before this one

It's not really all digital cameras, just some of them. I once made Marcia hang around Jessops in Islington for an hour while I tested for shutter delay on all their instant cameras... all because we were going to The Colour of Magic screening with Terry and I forgot to bring my camera.

That act of cruelty should have warranted a trip round Harrods on your card AND a slap up meal at the Savoy

Thankfully we still have a couple of privately owned camera shops in the area where you can play all day and get a cuppa at half time

When I first saw your punishment it didn't sound that bad, until I realized you said Harrods and not Halfords.

Here are some young pigeons, not quite ready to fly but you can tell they're thinking about it:

I read about the competition one day before leaving to Dublin. So I had the idea of taking photos from the sky out of the plain. I took it on the flight back home because on the flight to Dublin it was night and so there was no chance of taking pictures.
