AzAP Photo Challenge #32: Aircraft Reflections (June 26th - August 31st)

[Matt Ottosen]

The rules for this photo challenge are;

1.  The picture must be of an aircraft (singular or plural), but it/they can't be directly in the image.  The aircraft(s) must only be in a reflection (i.e. water, the glass on the side of a tall building, etc.).

2.  The photo must be taken during the challenge period.  The goal of the photo challenge is to get out and try something new, not to got through old pictures to find something that matches the theme.  Any photos posted that are taken outside of the challenge period will be deleted from the thread.

3.  One photo per member (you can change your photo as many times as you like until the deadline).

4.  Photos should be uploaded directly to the "Photo Challenge" thread for the current contest (this thread).

5.  All photos must be submitted to the Photo Challenge thread no later than 11:59pm Arizona (GMT-07) time on Sunday, July 27th.  Voting will begin on July 28th and close August 4th.  Any photos posted after the deadline will be deleted from the thread and not eligible for consideration.

6.  The winning photographer will select the theme for the next assignment.  Keep in mind that assignments that are aircraft- or airport-specific may limit the ability of other members to participate.

7.  Be safe and have fun!

Starting with Challenge #28: Sunrise/Sunset, and continuing in all future Challenge polls, you may vote for your own photo.

Interesting challenge.....  This should be fun.

Due to the lack of participation in this challenge, I have extended the deadline to August 17th.  That gives all of us a couple more weeks to get out and get our aircraft reflections.

Thought to do the first entry as it appeared to me while working on the platform.

I am surprised at the lack of participation in this challenge, including by myself.  But, due to this, I have extended the deadline (again) to August 31st.  That gives all of us a couple more weeks to get out and get our aircraft reflections.  If, at that time, nobody else has posted anything, Bjorn will be declared the winner.

I've had a shot in mind since this started, but haven't had a chance to actually go and get it.  Need to double my efforts on this.

[Matt Ottosen]

Only a few days left to submit a photo for this challenge, this Sunday is the final day for submissions.

[Mike Margolis]

Like Joe, I've got the shot... But need to travel a few hundred miles to get it - it's waiting for me in Vegas. I'll be there next week - too late for this, but I'll share anyway if it works.

[Joe Copalman]

Not the shot I had planned, but it'll have to do.
