April 2021 Photo of the Month Competition - The Royal Air Force Special Schemes
Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2021 7:55 pm
As I said previously, POTM as it was will be taking a break with the ongoing Covid regulations. Andy's idea of a specialist competition every month instead made a lot of sense to me so here is the April 2021 competition:
The Royal Air Force Special Schemes
The Royal Air Force was formed on 1st April 1918 and over the next 100 years has grown to be one of the most advanced Air Forces in the world. Over time the RAF has commemorated certain events with special colour schemes or specially painted tails for various aircraft and therefore the competition category for this month is Royal Air Force aircraft that are painted in a special colour scheme and/or RAF special tails. The photo can be taken at any point in history but the featured aircraft must be in service with the RAF at the time of the photograph.
Photography Competition Rules
1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry.
2. The photograph can have been taken at any time.
3. The photo must feature a specially marked RAF aircraft.
4. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 1st May 2021 (UK time), to enable anyone with last minute entries some breathing space
6. The voting will be carried out by you, the members of FC, by a poll which will be created at the closing of the competition.
7. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition, but cannot vote for their own entry.
8. The decision of the moderating team is final.
9. All images must be posted in line with the usual FC posting rules
10. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
11. Please do not comment on entries other than your own.
