Brief: "Transport" in the widest possible sense of the word, I dont want to limit creativity as I think the experimental topic worked very well and is a tough subject to beat!

So any form of transport is fine from Shoes to space shuttles, doesnt have to be the whole item can be part of it from its workings to the full subject. I want to keep it quite open so everyone will get a chance to take a photo of some sort and allow a variety of photos. As the subject is transport anything that gives the sense of motion would be preferable, but a static photo can still enter and win if its better than the rest!

Entries to be received by end of day 11th August
Voting starts on the 4th and closes end of day 18th August


Monthly Competition Rules:

The aim of this is to get people out and to use their cameras in different ways to what they might normally do so, to achieve this the rules state that the photograph must be taken in the submission period of the competition and relate to the theme in some way.

Each month a different thread will be created and at the end of the submission period a poll will be added including all entries that are deemed valid. Non valid entries will be automatically excluded. The named winner then copies over the text of this post and replaces the theme with one of their choice.

Include a description of a few words as to why you feel your picture fills the theme.

Once the thread has been started peoples entries have to be posted in that thread. Each entrant is only allowed ONE POST in the thread to cover ONE IMAGE that he has entered. The last image posted is the one that will be used, all others will be removed when a Mod/admin has a spare moment ...

The submission will last 4 weeks and voting will last 1 week

Unless i can come up with something better before the close:

Sorry mate, needs to be taken during the competition entry period, should have posted the rules from the old thread..

 Edit: updated first post

ahh thought that was the start of the month.. ill get something else

No we changed it a bit to do 4 weeks then 1 week voting, as before it meant that some people couldnt vote or submit pictures in time, and think that was part of the reason it died out before, will edit the rules slightly as it still reads partly from the old rules

Right, im not going to be as bad this time. I can definately manage a transport related photo.

Well then, seeing as I just got myself a Sony Alpha 380 I should be able to join in here.

Taken on a work sailing trip at the weekend - never been before - good fun, horrific sunburn though.

That contrast looks excessive on my screen, retina burningly so!

In retrospect I agree and retract my comment, I wasnt in a sound state of mind.

Well I liked the contrast. I like both versions, original looks like a B&W poster shot, contrasted version looks "artsy" in the sense of OTT post processing.

Just noticed I still had the auto-renaming still on as well ... didnt meant to name it BatterseaPark.
