- Editing is confined to colour and exposure adjustments and crop only (still) plus zoom and frame rate (video) There must be no removal or pasting of an object.

**Voting**

- Images will be judged by the members of GADC who may vote for any number of images by means of an anonymous poll open for five 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 all, some or none of the entries
- Any image that is correctly added to the Dronescene map with details including the Drone Code compliant take-off and landing point will be awarded one bonus vote.

Rivers? Lakes? Canals? Fountains? The water doesn’t have to be fast to be moving.

Guessing it won’t include the Mrs in the bath. I’m sure she’d be fast moving though if she found out what I’m up to 😂😂😂

Sorry to hear that John. When you say local, what kind of distance restrictions are you guys dealing with at the moment mate?

Yes, it is real - and here is the story behind it:

To help the staff of McMac Productions to tally the votes and bonuses correctly - and to ensure that you get the score you deserve we are introducing two new requirements.

# One

With your entry include a description of what was used to male the image, e.g.

> DJI Matrice 210, Z30 or Nikon D850, 1200mm f 2.8 lens

# Two

If you have added a valid entry for your image to [Dronescene](https://dronescene.co.uk/) then please include the link under your image thus:

`https://dronescene.co.uk/where-to-fly-drone/hayling-island-rail-and-road-bridges/south-east/578`

which will produce this:

> **[Hayling Island Rail and Road Bridges](https://dronescene.co.uk/where-to-fly-drone/hayling-island-rail-and-road-bridges/south-east/578)**
>
> This location has been recommended to fly your drone in the Bridges category in the South East region.

Thanks in advance!
