Bugger yee Brausch ..... was just going to post a C-5 great shot btw

[emfrat]

Can I just ask the few members who vote, to check the rules for any particular monthly comp?
6) This month's theme: "T Tails" Screenshot to include a bit of land and ocean in the same image (Please state Aircraft details and over what part of New Zealand the image was taken)
'Nuff said.

[Adrian Brausch]

I take your point Mike but that would mean all the shots would have to take place along the coast line and would rule out anyone from flying in inland areas away from the coast
There has also need suggestions to ad showing some recognized areas of NZ in your image, but I think it is best to leave the rules as they are now the simpler they are the better
If the theme for a competition requires anything other than what we have now it will be stipulated in rule 6

Doug, thanks for the prompt reply.
For me, it's a screenshot comp, and I will think up a 'good shot', within the rules. I make sure mine include an identifiable part of the NZ scenery.
I do not try to enhance my shots. The most I will do is trim off unwanted text, and resize/resample using IrfanView, to meet the forum requirements.
The comp is a lot of fun, and I enjoy being in it - but if there's rules for each month, well, them's regulations.
Up until last month , I had an unblemished record - not one vote; and only one failure in the winner I voted for.Two people voted for my pic, so I must be learning.
Thing is, you need a pic which will make a good banner, and not many entrants and voters remember that.

Looks like you have been playing with prop textures ........... Now city name .. we have the original 'Wobblyville' you with your "Wobblington"... maybe with the traffic congestion problems in your neck of the woods they should the city "Walkland" that would make the NZ a real WWW.com - unity .

[zk2704]

HAHAHA

Now theres the 3 W's

Auckland - Walkville

Wellington - Windyville

Christchurch - Wobblyville

WHAT?!? This is impossible, or it is possible, just need to have a BIG think with my brain about this with my brain contents, it's a tough one

[dbcunnz]

Its a bit of a bugger when you make a "BOO BOO" on the theme of the competition then have to change your own screenshot to comply with the "BOO BOO" that I made

Nice One Paulo , Our Charl just mentioned tour guides .... pilots ... being a pax i became one on a return flight on a 146 tho then it was ANZ - my last but best ever flight from Auckland to Christchurch on the 146, had one pretty German girl asking me to get a photo off the scenery .. from that i took the lead - cabin staff must have a great day , I had half the plane up and down and both sides photoing the scenery - what you no from Flight Sim and a brilliant day .

I can't bring myself to buy the payware, too mant weird antennae and the PIC sitting in the wrong seat, hence the freeware for me
