Welcome to the NZFF August 2012 Screenshot Competition.

This month's rules are as follows (Please read them).

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 but 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/viewtopic.php?t=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 August 1st until midnight August 31st 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's theme: Visiting Small private or topdressing strips (Please state Aircraft details and over what part of New Zealand the image was taken)

I'll kick it off this month

the freeware S2F-3 stoof from SOH heading toward that US private strip, the USS Enterprise (Team SDB) of the coast of Woodbourne.

I think you might be pushing the boundaries a bit it looks more like a military airstrip than a small private strip to me I don't think they would let me land my private aircraft there unsure.gif

Sutherland Falls in the South Island, viewed from the nearby Quintin Lodge Airstrip. At 1904 feet (580 metres) it is the 5th highest waterfall in the world, and one of the tallest in New Zealand. It is located in the Fjordland National Park not far from Milford Sound.
