SPOTM November 2016 - Rainy Days
This is the SPOTM (Special Photo Of The Month) competition for November 2016 and the subject is 'Rainy Days', i.e. an aircraft photographed where it's visibly wet but not necessarily still raining when the photo is taken - this was one of the members' choices from last years poll of potential topics
The subject of your entry should be a photo of one or more civil registered aircraft taken when there is clear evidence of ongoing or recent rain such as a wet runway and spray. the aircraft subject(s) must be registered as a civilian operated aircraft (or retired as such) when the photograph was taken.
Visibly wet does not mean a floatplane parked on a lakeon a sunny day
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. HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 (UK time) on the 1st December 2016, to enable anyone with a last minute entry some breathing space.
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.
If you have any questions please PM me
Good luck everyone.

Bahamasair Dash 8 C6-BFH at a rather damp Nassau.
The dispatcher and ground crew coax the last few passengers onboard for a short evening hop over to MIA.
Photo taken Sept 2014.
(Spotters Note: The Flamingo Air C402 C6-FLN in the background was involved in a near fatal incident on the then unfinished runway at Mayaguana Airport, Bahamas just 11 months before this photo was taken). Looks like it was a close call
