RTF March 2nd to 15th - Bridges - Vote for the Winners

This time the majority have decided that you should be taking drone pictures of Bridges. And, if you want to be in it to win it, post your picture by 23:00 on Saturday March 15th.

As always there are rules. A few people read them. A few follow them. They are below for your reading pleasure, if you wish …

RULES

The requirement is to submit a still image created using a drone to illustrate the subject of the competition. This round will run from 00:01 Sunday 2nd of March until 23:00 Saturday, March 15th; the subject is Bridges.

The image must be captured during the time that the competition is open. It is a Reason To Fly competition so please show that the image is created by a flying camera!

Editing is confined to colour and exposure adjustments and crop only. There must be no removal or pasting of an object.

Please post only one image, the image you wish to be judged, in this thread.

Images must be posted with the following information as a minimum:

In Capitals as the first line of your post:

THIS IS MY ENTRY

If this is not done at the time of posting the picture will be ignored. Should it be necessary to change your picture then delete the previous picture and add “This is my entry” - as above - as the first line of your new post. If in any doubt contact the Challenges Committee
(@Challenges_Committee)

Further Information is required

  • Location
  • Time and date
  • Aircraft/camera used
  • Feel free to add any further information that you think will be of interest

Voting

The members of GADC will judge images. They may vote for any number of pictures through an anonymous poll open for two days after the closing date for competition entries.

Voting in the poll is open to all GADC members, whether they have entered the competition or not.

You may vote for one, all, some or none of the entries.

The judges may request the original media in case of a dispute.

Schedule

The competition subject will be announced every second Saturday around 22:30. The subject will be chosen by a poll of GADC members selecting from three that have been picked at random from the subject list. You may make additions to the list at any time.

The competition will run from Sunday 00.01 to Saturday 23.00 fourteen days later. Voting by poll will be open for a further two days until Monday 22:00

The winner, second and third-placed competitors will be announced shortly after the vote is closed

Have Fun! Be Safe!

All flights are the sole responsibility of the individual conducting them. Each competitor must abide by the drone code and adhere to the limitations and restrictions imposed upon them by aviation law, the aircraft being used and the qualifications they hold. Don’t try to whistle with a mouthful of raspberry blancmange. If a flight is undertaken in a restricted zone proof of permission having been granted is required.

Stainforth Bridge in Ribblesdale

A beautiful little 17th century packhorse bridge over the river Ribble nr Stainforth. I is rather narrow, just able to get my car over it with a couple of inches to spare, made even more interesting by approach down a single track lane (from Stainforth), and quite a sharp turn onto it.
