We have screenshot contests for Freeware, Payware, Edited, Judges Contest and the Monthly. We also have some very talented photographers and a Photo and Camera section. Why not have a contest for them, or add the catagory to the nomination thread. I don't have a working camera nor the opportunity/location to compete, but I think there are enough members to have a decent contest. Some of them border on professional quality. I have not had a conversation with any of them, so I don't know if they would even be interested, but I think it would be a very interesting addition. As the title says, just a thought. Cheers,
Larry  Smiley

I should have said

If people doon't want it, why bother. Maybe it will eventually have the support to do it, but not right now.

That thread was back in October of last year, and we've had a few new faces come in since then.

Never hurts to ask again.  Wink

I would leave out the word 'contest' though.  Grin  Wink

Call it, Photo of the Month, more as a recognition of exceptional photographic work, or sheer dumb luck if no one wants to be so bold.   Cheesy

I still think it's a good idea.  Smiley

I tried to pass it off that way before, but it didn't work.  Roll Eyes I don't think it's meant to be.  Grin

I still think it is a great idea too.

Nah, eventually he's going to take every shot, from every angle, of every plane, that is possible to take there.

That, or they'll shut it down.  I've read how a lot of the tax payers in England are quite sick of the large waste of money that loop represents.
I think they don't know a good thing when they've got it.  Wink

I, for one, am extremely jealous and would love to visit there one day. But I fear the closest I'll ever get is through Mic's shots unless someone wants to pay for me to fly over there. Cheesy

That's the first I've heard of it. More likely to be Welsh farmers complaining about the noise. http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/2010/04/05/farmers-call-for-ban...

I can't find the link, but, I KNOW it's here somewhere, and it is directly related to these two:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1289185/Navigators-gag-amuses-plane-spot...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1289185/Navigators-gag-amuses-plane-spot...

As soon as I figure out who posted it, and where it is, I come back here and post it,
but if I don't, please be aware, that it's not that important an issue to me, as I live several thousand miles away from it, and it doesn't cost me a dime.

Regardless of the items I search for.  Tongue

From my occasional contacts with some of the Welsh folk, including the Hill Farmers, from over the Welsh border close to me, they just wish that the Ministry would find somewhere else to fly their aeroplanes....(Outer Mongolia?).... Roll Eyes....!
Their stock of Cattle and Sheep occasionally abort their young when being terrified by the sudden noise!
And the house-holders get their teeth rattled by them...(The Aircraft....not the Cattle and Sheep).
I like Aeroplanes (and Mobile Phones)...until they start to annoy me!... Wink...
.....low flying Police Helicopters, etc, chancing their arm with the 500 feet AGL limit over my back garden!... Angry...!

Paul... Wink...!

Why cant everyone fly Cessna 150's?... Roll Eyes... Wink... Grin...!
...or Sopwith Camels, if they insist on fighting...

I didn't realise you'd seen it here. All I meant was that I hadn't heard about complaints from taxpayers. That doesn't mean much as I don't read newspapers or watch TV news. You know what the news media is like, always trying to stir up trouble where none exists.

Did you know that you posted the same link twice? Cheesy Tongue

PS. I suppose that Welsh farmers qualify as taxpayers.

Grin  See the kind of day I've been having.  Cheesy

There were 4 links to different news stories from the UK on that "I'm with stupid" story posted here.

I've found 3 of them. The fourth one had a link in the comments to read another report on it, and that's the one it was in.  Too many threads for my poor brain to keep track of.

I did not know it had been tried before, it just sounded like a good idea when it started rattling around in my head. And I thought it was over with and did not look back here until just now. Had no idea I was stirring a hornet's nest.  Roll Eyes Grin Cheesy

Many of our top posters in the photo forum are not interested and DO NOT want it.  Wink It has been made clear that it would discourage some people from even posting if it were put in place.

Cool
