OPEN NOW!!!

Rules:

1. Photos must be original. If you didn't take it, don't post it. NOTE: Photos you originally posted in the "Post a photo" thread are eligible. Repost them in this thread - or let me know the post # and I can copy the post over to here.

2. Post must include the category. Please reduce your photo to make it easy to view. And, from a selfish viewpoint, please do not post multiple photos in one post. One post - one photo. (This will also make it much easier for me to compile a thread of each category of photos for voting purposes.)

3. I want this to be fun, so please no photos that aren't suitable for family viewing.

4. If any questions come up, I think the people actually participating should be able to decide if something is appropriate ... or in the correct category ... etc.

5. First round of voting (done by public poll) will be within each category. Winners will advance to the "best of show" second round.

Here are the categories so far:

1. sports/action
2. people (posed and candid)/street photography
3. pets/animals
4. architectural/cityscape
5. landscape/nature
6. cell phone photos
7. photoshop creations - before and after

If you can think of anything else, let me know.

Let the posting begin!

:D

If so, what categories would you all like to see?
Probably too many but here's what I like..
sports/action/motion (could be one giant category or 2)
people (posed)
people (candid)/street photography
pets/animals
architectural/cityscape
landscape/nature

and maybe a special category strictly for best use of a cell phone camera?

I like those. Let's see if anyone else is interested. if we get some people, then maybe we can come up with some rules/guidelines. I was thinking of having a vote for best of each category and then "best of show" or something like that. I'm open to suggestions.

I don't have a final date in mind. I thought we could see how many photos we get. I do think this is a TDOS-type thing so, allowing enough time for voting, I'd think we'd want to wrap up the open period for entries sometime in late September, you know right around my birthday? :p

Okay! Would be nice to try and get something worthy on my upcoming trip in. I'll have to look at old stuff, too.

(You are not allowed to win just because it's your birthday, tho. :p)

Are we supposed to just be openly submitting now, or are we waiting for an official start from VF?

UFO over Sacramento?

No, it's the B-2 Spirit. I snapped digital pic as it flew over unannounced during Capital City Air Show last year. It really wowed everyone who saw it with engine sound barely detectable. Just a faint hum as it passed by for a few seconds, then turning around and flying back to its home at Whiteman AFB, Missouri.
