Bluelight weekly photography contest Round 21: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

RULES
1. Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest. New!

2. Photographs must be your original work and that has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that you are the sole copyright owner of.
2a. No submitting pictures for other people, for friends, etc. Your OWN work, very simple.

3. Only one photograph may be entered per contest.

4. All photographs must be free of watermarks, signatures and borders

5. Photographs must be no wider than 700 and no higher than 700.

6. Deadline for entries is 12am eastern on the posted deadline date.

7. Voting ends at 12am eastern on the posted end date.

8. Post your images in the appropriate thread in the form of an image, not a link to click on.

9. Don't be a dummy and vote for your own photo, try and make it fun.

Be reminded that this is a photo contest and so images which have been heavily manipulated through an image editing software will not be accepted. To put everyone on a level playing field, editing should be restricted to cropping and resizing.

Images which are not relevant to the week's theme will be automatically removed.

If you have a problem with another contestant's entry adhering to the contest guidelines, please PM the forum moderators. Do not try to begin a debate about the issue within the contest submission or poll thread! There will be zero tolerance towards any attempts to devolve a contest thread into a bash-fest or witch hunt.

We will pick the next theme and post it the night a contest ends for the next round so people have a full 7 days to take pictures and submit them. After all the entries have been posted, a poll will be added on the last night, so people can vote. Voting will take place from midnight to midnight over the following 2 days (12am Sunday - 12am Tuesday).

Those who wish to participate in sharing full versions of their entries may do so by providing a link only to the full sized version in the same post as their entry.

Thank you and have fun!

This isnt just for this photo contest, but for any in general. If we put a photo in the misfits thread because for one reason or another it didnt make it into the contest, if a contest comes up at a later date that is appropriate for it can we use it?
 
^I believe that once it is posted in any other thread for any reason, it is no longer eligible for the contest.

I don't really understand the reasoning behind this rule, but I'm sure there is some reason.

The existence of this rule is the reason why I made the thread for photos for past contests, although I imagine that a lot of people want to save those photos for possible use future contests rather than disqualify them by posting them in the thread. I don't mind posting them there because then it gives me incentive to go out and shoot new photos.

You could try to double post the photos...i think people have done it before and no one has said anything so... ;)
 
^ Haha ok, thank you! I'll hold off from posting it for now I guess, but if the opportunity to show it off doesnt present itself soon then I will post it in misfits. I would go out and take more but this one was taken in another country so it'd be hard to get another opportunity like it :\
 
I tried to take some photos of flying aeroplanes with my camera, which only has 4x optical zoom. The best I could do was a picture of an aeroplane that covered 1/4 of the picture - and I deleted it! :\

Changes may be in the works. ;)

Yes, I discovered only too late that this was done. Let's not encourage the breaking of rules based on this though.
 
Notice:

As it is well early in the round, a revision which has been made to the contest rules has been enacted for this round as well.

Rule #1:
"Any photograph or variation of a photograph which have been previously submitted in the forums or gallery for viewing and discussion cannot be used in the contest."

has been changed to read:
"Any photograph or variation of a photograph which has been previously submitted for one of the contest rounds cannot be used in subsequent rounds of the contest."

Have fun!

:)

P.S. I want the previous round back, damnit! :(
