The NZFF May 2016 Screenshot Competition Has Now Closed

Postby dbcunnz » Sun May 01, 2016 12:04 am

Welcome to the NZFF May 2016 Screenshot Competition.
Sponsored by CaptainSim

This month's rules are as follows (Please read them).
If you have any queries about the rules please PM me for clarification before posting your entry.

Can I ask participants to please take note of rule 3: The images must be jpg so please don’t post png.

1: The screenshot image must consist of a screen captured from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004, FSX or P3D) and the position of the shot must be from somewhere within the New Zealand territory.

2: Some editing is allowed (if you know how to do it.) Additional images - either screenshots or "real" images can be added - but the main component of the image should always be of a Flight sim screen capture.

3: The images must be jpg and size must be at least 1024 pixels wide and no wider than 1280 pixels -- A good free resizing program can be found at at http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm
Faststone resize how to http://nzff.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=17934&hl=
3a: No frames or txt to be left on the image. Please keep a high resolution version saved on your computer; the admin may request it from you at the end of the month to convert into a site banner!

4: Images can be submitted from May 1st until midnight May 31st 2016, with only one entry of a single image per member.
You can change your image anytime up until 1 hour before the closing time.
To change use the edit button at the bottom of your post, just delete the old one and replace it with a new one
If you post comments using the quote or reply button please edit out all images from your reply or quote.

5: Soon after the competition ends, a poll will open for members to decide who has the best image, and then the winner will have a cropped version of their image appear in the NZFF banner as well as receiving the prize for the month.

6: This month's theme: “How low can you get?” (Please state Aircraft details and over what part of New Zealand the image was taken)[/b]

I ask all members to please patronize all our very generous prize sponsors.
We have an excellent prize for this month’s competition very generously donated by Image

The voting will take place after the competition closes at the end of the month and the winner with the highest vote will get the prize.

A2A Civilian P-51 on a low pass for old times sake at Taieri airfield

Is this as "low as you can get"?

Check out "P-51 too low" post to see what happens when I tried to go lower :blush:

The famous "Spitfire low pass" video - immortalised by the TV commentator's words: "Well ... F**K me!!!". Re-enacted at Ardmore. No animals, TV personalities or Spitfires were hurt during the filming of this video.

That's a RealAir Sptitfire, BTW - couldn't face Splitpin moaning if I'd used the A2A one! :lol: :D :wacko:

Alabeo Extra 300s inverted over NZWN runway 34. Must admit that I wouldn't fancy doing this in real life even at 50 feet higher (or should I say 15.24m higher!). Even dong this in P3D required good sphincter control . . . .
