Photo of the Month: January 2012

Post by Mark G » Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:07 am

Welcome to the January 2012 Photo of the Month competition.

Please post all entries in this thread.

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 photograph must have been taken during the month in question.
3. The photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some civilian aviation connection - shots of military aircraft at civilian airfields do not qualify though.
4. 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.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 1st February 2012, to enable anyone with a last minute entry some breathing space
6. Voting is open to all members in the 4 days following the closure of the competition. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition but no-one can vote for their own entry.
7. The decision of the moderating team is final.
8. 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.
9. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
10.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.

"easy sunset"

G-EZEF slows for the exit along Newcastle's runway 25, during the beautiful late afternoon January sun. The lower the sun got, the light/haze effects became ever more startling.
