July 2012 Spec Comp : 'Summer saturation'

Post by StuBie » Mon Jul 02, 2012 9:47 pm

Hi all,

Please post all entries in this thread.

The subject for this month is 'Summer saturation', photos taken in wet conditions from any time or location. Given the the weather so far this summer it made sense to make the most of it!

Photography Competition Rules

1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry.
2. The photo can be from any year.
3. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not, (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 31st July 2012.
5. The email voting system will be open from 00:01 on August 1st for 96 hours, however you cannot vote for your own photo !
6. All images must be posted in line with the usual CA posting rules, size etc, read them if you're not sure how to post etc.
7. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
8.Please also embed the images and not post a link to an image as it makes it harder to judge, if you're not sure how to do it, shout up and someone will sort it out.
9.Do not comment on other member's photos.
10. Only civilian aircraft please.

Nothing too spectacular, but I bet this guy wishes he hadn't set off from home almost as much as I wish I hadn't taken the camera outside.....
