Welcome to the NZFF May 2012 Screenshot Competition.

Please read the rules before entering.

1) The screenshot image must consist of a screen captured from a Flight Simulator program (FS2004 or FSX,) 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 http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm.
No txt or borders on the image. Please keep a high resolution version saved on your computer that can be cropped to fit the banner; 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 31st May 2012, 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.

If you have any queries about the rules please PM me for clarification before posting your entry.

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 being May the theme is: “MAY-DAY MAY-DAYâ€￾ (Please state Aircraft details and the area of New Zealand the image was taken)

I ask all members to please patronize all our very generous prize sponsors.

FIRST BITE: PERFECT STORM

I was going to shoehorn this one into last month's "storm" category, but maybe "Mayday" is better



Cook Strait again, I've been playing Ships with the Andrea Gail and other great models from Deltasim.

Despite the wonderful one-eyed approach or perhaps because of it, this is one brilliant picture.
I've tried and failed many times to make stuff like this look convincing, very difficult.
