If you want to vote for the winner of the last competition you only have until Monday !st at 23:00 (24 hours or so as I write this). Every vote counts!
Taken this evening with MM just on the outskirts of Gloucester. Ended up with loads of images that would have been more appropriate for last weeks ‘Lights’ theme than Cityscapes but nevermind, at least I’ll know where to go if the lights theme pops up again
Thanks for opening the competition, Rich! No doubt lights will pop up in some form again soon - Christmas lights or Illuminations or After Dark or somesuch
I am guessing, being RTF, there’ll be some wiggle room regarding the term “Cityscape”, since I am sure most of us, don’t live in a city, and some of us don’t live anywhere near a city.
Ideally, it would be great if we could capture images like these. But I can safely say, Swindon (or anywhere close) is a far cry from these places
I actually have to do that next week for a wedding I’m shooting down in Ayrshire. Prestwick ATC won’t even consider requests to fly till you have a police incident number. Just getting through to the police is the hard part.
I was just asking …
