Fourth FlyerTalk Trip Reports Photo Contest! : "Transportation"
Please remember to vote in the Third FlyerTalk Trip Reports Photo Contest!
Welcome to the Fourth FlyerTalk Trip Reports Photo Contest!
This photo contest is generously sponsored by Cholula. Thank you Cholula!
First prize is one case of the incomparable Cholula Hot Sauce. (see below for details)
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE CONTRIBUTING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in the fun. Photographic composition is in the mind and eye of the photographer, not the equipment used. If you think your photograph is special, well, so do we!
The rules are simple:
1) Images must have been taken by the poster who links to them.
2) FlyerTalk does not have space to host images, but there are a number of free image hosting services on the web that will serve.
* See the Wikipedia page on photo sharing for a list of options, or use your own ISP.
3) You may submit up to two photographs per contest. Photos may be changed at will up to the end of the submission period. At the end of the submission period, the competition will be closed. The contest will run for 13 days from today - until 6:00pm Pacific Daylight Time on May 13, 2007
4) Post-Processing - Nothing that substantially changes the image is allowed. Basically, what you see through your viewfinder is what we want to see. Digital cameras inherently post-process the images they record, so additional processing to modify contrast, sharpness, color balance, render B&W, etc is acceptable. That once-in-a lifetime shot of an Alaska Airlines Airbus A380 in flight is out-of-bounds.
5) Images may be at most 800 pixels along the largest dimension and a maximum of 200K in size. Most photo editing programs have a function that allows the creation of web-friendly images. If your source material allows, make your postings as large as possible without exceeding the posted limits. If you have questions about this, please contact birdstrike by PM and I’ll try to provide answers.
6) Copyright remains with the photographer. However, per the FlyerTalk FAQ:

Quote:
I interpret this to mean that FlyerTalk can delete any images found offensive and can use the low-res images provided for the contest in any non-exclusive, FlyerTalk-specific fashion. Everything else remains yours. Obligatory statement: I am not a lawyer.
7) At the end of the contest period, the photo posting thread will be closed and a separate thread will be created for voting. The image with the most votes at the end of the voting period will be declared the winner. The polling period will last for 1 week at which time a winner will be announced. In the event of a tie, the poster who first reached the winning number of votes (as judged by the FT post timestamp) will be declared the winner. Multiple prizes may be awarded at the discretion of the sponsor.
Voters will be asked to choose between the submitted images based on the entries visual appeal, artistry, composition, and aptness to the theme of the contest
------------
Images can be inserted in Trip Reports posts by clicking on the "Insert Image" icon (small mountain on a yellow background) and adding the URL of the image to be displayed. Please add a brief title to your images to make tallying the votes easier. If you have been a lurker, and are now a new poster, images may not appear immediately, contact birdstrike with questions.
If you are using Photobucket: When looking at your Photobucket album, below the current image on the left side of the screen, there are three links. One is for URL link, the next is for HTML tag, and the third is for IMG code. Click on the IMG code button to get the link that you need for FlyerTalk images. You can just paste that link straight into your post. There is no need to click on the IMG tag button in FT, but it won't hurt if you do.
Picassa Galleries do not allow images to be linked from other websites.
If you can not see the images in the thread: Go to My FlyerTalk/Edit Options and check "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)"
That will let you see everything in-line as it was designed to be shown.
As mentioned above, this months First prize will be awarded as follows:
If the winner lives in the US: 1 case of 12/5 oz. Cholula.
If the winner lives outside of the US: a choice of Coupons for 12 bottles of Cholula or a selection of clothing from the FT store.
Second and Third prizes will be a choice of FlyerTalk luggage tags or a FlyerTalk T-shirt.
Enjoy, and let the photos fly!

Please send your thoughts on future competition themes to birdstrike. I'd like to see this as an ongoing part of the Trip Reports experience.

I'm still poking around my hard drive, if I can find the Cinquecento with a tree growing through the engine compartment I might replace one of these...
I also have a bunch of nice antique cars on my site at http://stonecarver.com/news/cars.html

Compliments of the season, flyertalkers.
I've been enjoying the photos taken by the members in the previous contests, so I've decided to contribute a couple of mine here:
Cairo, Egypt

Agra suburbs, India

Thanks,
