Specialist Photo Of The Month Competiton - Sept 2009

Welcome to the Specialist Photographic Competition at Fighter Control. The main differences in the rules between the Specialist competition and the Main Competition are highlighted in red below -

1. One entry per user, which can have been taken at any time

2. The photograph must, for this month be of the 2009 RAF Hawk Demonstration aircraft

3. Photo must be taken by the user themselves (or another family user who is unable to post their own, children for example, but please state on your entry if this is the case)

4. The voting will be open to the forum membership.

5. To enter simply pick your best shot fitting the category and post the image onto this thread, together with information regarding the a/c pictured, location and date etc

6. Images can be 'photo-shopped' to some extent - cropping, sharpening, brightness tweaks, colour saturation alterations are all fine. The photo must retain it's initial subject however. Do not cut and paste aircraft from other photographs you have into your entry to make it look more interesting. In addition, HDR images will no longer be allowed. If in doubt, please PM me or one of the other mods.

7. All images must be posted in line with the usual FC posting rules (Rules Clicky)

8. Competitions will remain open until 23.59 on the first day of the following month - so you will have 24 hours into the next month to post. Hopefully this will allow anyone with a prize shot taken late on the last day of the month to enter.

9. The winner will usually be posted within 72 hours of the competition closing

10. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.

11. The decision of the Moderating team is final, but let's keep this nice and friendly and see some cracking shots

Prizes are available this month, courtesy of Squadron Prints

For the winner -
*Signed* Squadron Prints Special Edition 2009 Display Hawk Print, patch and key fob

Second Place -
An un-signed 2009 Hawk Display Print, patch and key fob

Third Place -
