View Full Version : EAA Monthly Photo Contest - October, 2011

The photo contest continues!

Submit your photos for the change to see it used as our featured wallpaper download: http://www.eaa.org/wallpaper/


Here's how it works:
First, you’ll take a great photo, one that evokes the spirit of aviation. Feel free to include a caption or any other notes about the setting, subject matter, etc. The "spirit of aviation" is a broad definition - show us pictures OF aircraft, pictures taken FROM aircraft, people thinking ABOUT aircraft ... well, as long as it's obvious ... anyway, you get the idea.
Then, you’ll reply to this thread and embed the picture in your post. (We prefer it if you include just one picture per post.) Note: to embed a picture, click the image button on the toolbar to find and upload the file .... Please use this method to make the picture immediately visible as opposed to simply attaching the file.

As our deadline approaches, the photo submissions will be reviewed by the editorial team (and me), meeting in a secure and undisclosed location, and we will choose a winner to be used as our featured wallpaper (with full and appropriate credit, naturally.)
We’ll contact the photographer directly to arrange for their submission of a high-res version of the winning photo as needed (see below.) We’ll also provide the basic legalese at that point to ensure that we have the rights to publish the photo.
There are a few things to point out:

The photo contest is open to all members of EAA.
Note that, above, we said you’ll take the photo – submissions must be made by the original photographer.
Photos must be posted here to be considered – email submissions will not be accepted.
In addition, the pictures you post here will be automatically resized for web viewing, which means they won’t be of a high-enough resolution for the desktop wallpaper. So, in order for your picture to be considered for publication, you must be able to provide a high resolution version on request.
This means that the original should ideally be 3 Megapixels (~2048 x 1536) or higher.

Enter as many pictures as you like – the more the merrier! (Though, again, we prefer you post each picture separately.)



NOTE:
The deadline for submissions to the October, 2011 contest is
August 15th, 2011.

Here is a photo of some fellows either swapping stories, or ideas. Either way, it's what makes Airventure the place to go. I am sure missing it this year! Even resorting to watching Hal's web cam's and listening to air traffic control! Driving my fellow co-workers nuts! They can't figure out what I am so excited about. Anyway. I guess I better quit posting photo's. Thanks EAA for all you do BESIDES Airventure!

Taken during Monday's airshow at AirVenture. I'd love to say that it was intentional, but it was a completely accidental shot.

Wittman Control Tower - sun peering through the windows silhouetting three dedicated control workers. Just another wonderful moment from EAA's AirVenture 2011. This was shot moments before the beginning of the Saturday evening air-show.

I was wondering...Can the files be put up with the same name every month? That way a scheduled job can run the first of every month to download the latest image and copy it to the wallpaper folder.

I think this Slipstream's wing was lifted by a gust on takeoff. I caught the wing at its lowest point in this pic. The pilot reacted quickly and leveled the wings. Down on the farm at Oshkosh 2011.

C-47 landing on 27. I suspect it was an oil fire on the starboard engine. The flames are clearly visible behind the right cowling. They taxied off the runway and the fire trucks came, but the fire was out by the time they arrived. Oshkosh 2011.

Not a bad shot if I don't say so myself. Wish it had been a little less windy so the skywriting wasn't so blown about.
