Photo Of The Month Competiton

Our fourth competition of 2009.

The rules are simple –

1. One entry per user

2. Photograph must be taken during the month in question

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 picture can be anything you like as long as there is some military aviation connection.

5. The winner will be voted for by the Moderating team. Moderators will not be exempt from the competition, but cannot vote for their own entry.

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

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

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

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

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