AzAP Photo Challenge #35: Sunset/Night Panning (March 23rd - April 26th)

[Matt Ottosen]

The rules for this photo challenge are;

1.  It's time once again to work on your panning skills, so slow down those shutters and let the fun begin.  The challenge this time is open to any type of aircraft for the panning shot, but it has to taken at sunset, dusk, or at night (no mid-day shots).

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, April 26th.  Voting will begin on April 27th and the poll will remain open for seven days.  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!

8.  When the poll opens, you may vote for your own photo.
