SPOTM August 2023 - permanently closed airfields
Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2023 7:27 am
This is the SPOTM (Special Photo Of The Month) competition for August2023, the subject is a photo taken at any airfield / airport in the world that is longer active i.e. permanently closed to traffic (nostalgia time)
The subject of your entry should be a photo of one or more civil registered fixed wing aircraft past or present at, landing or departing from an airfield / airport anywhere in the world which is no longer active i.e. permanently closed to traffic at this time. I've excluded rotary wing aircraft as they can land anywhere and that would reduce the challenge too much. I've put in 'at this time' as you never can tell if somewhere might just open in the future, some get built on and others just close to traffic and turn to other uses for instance Bruntingthorpe which nowadays is covered in cars.
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 7th September 2023 - please note the extended closing date to enable anyone with a last minute photo plenty of time to prepare their entry.
5. Voting will be conducted by a poll open to all the membership shortly after the closure of the competition.
6. 'Rule 6...' There's no rule 6 Bruce'
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.), please read them if you're not sure how to post.
9. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
10. Please also embed the images and not links to images, if you're not sure how to do it then shout and someone will sort it out. It is permissible to change your entry before the closing date.
11. Do not comment on other member's photos.
12. A brief description of where and when the image was taken is preferable.
If you have any questions please PM me
