SPOTM December 2014 - Cargo airliners

Post by andygolfer » Tue Dec 02, 2014 3:37 pm

This is the final SPOTM for 2014 and the subject is 'Cargo airliners' The subject can be any civilian registered airliner active or retired which is exclusively used for carrying freight or mail of any type a the time the photo was taken, it may not be an aircraft that takes a bit of freight as well as passengers or as some aircraft do, fly passengers during the day and do mail flights at night (e.g. Jet2 B737s). If in doubt please ask. Please note the extended closing date for this month only for the benefit of those who are sleeping off new year celebrations on the 1st!

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 may have been taken on any date, it does not have to be taken in the month of the competition

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 2nd January 2015, to enable anyone with a last minute entry some breathing space (and to sober-up).

5. Voting will be conducted by a poll open to all the membership shortly after the closure of the competition.

6. The decision of the moderating team is final.

7. All images must be posted in line with the usual CA posting rules (size etc.), please read them if you're not sure how to post.

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

9. Please also embed the images and not links to images, if you're not sure how to do it then shout up and someone will sort it out. It is permissible to change your entry before the closing date.

10. Do not comment on other member's photos.

11. A brief description of where and when the image was taken would be nice too.

Good luck everyone.

I'm hoping I've done this correctly, as its my first posting of a photo (with the kind help of Andy's excellent instructions - thanks very much):

UR-82060 An225 Mira arriving to runway 23R at Manchester. Seen over the lighting gantries, and dwarfing the houses on Ringway Road in the background, it arrived to pick up a load of drilling equipment.


EDIT - I've reloaded this for Rob after copying it to my folders as his link isn't working.
Rob, I've sent you a PM which might help you sort it out properly as this is a smaller image than your original, have a go to see if you can get it to work please.
Note -if anyone knows what is wrong with the link (I think it might be that he hasn't selected BBC code) please post responses in the photography Q & A thread re uploading from flickR rather than here, MTIA.
