Maggot Photo Contest 3 "Airborne": Aug 4- Aug 18

[XtrPickels]

Thanks for all the votes guys and girls. I'm glad that there are people out there who like my picture.

Airborne: Pretty simple, lets unlock the magic of flight.

Rules:

1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.

2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.

3. The contest moderator will choose 5 of the photos to put in a poll for the mags to vote on and decide the winner.

4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way not an option)

5. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.

I'm guessing she's bouncing off one of those water trampolines?

I really like "Air Zippy".

Here is one from today at the Hergiswil Lakeside Festival, in Switzerland.

I am very new to this whole photography thing but I figured that these friendly contests would be a great way to improve. Needless to say that any feedback or tips are welcome.

Ok so the "airborne" connection is weak on the last one but since doing superman always gave me a feeling of flying as a kid I thought it worked.
All pictures taken last week by me.

I'm guessing she's bouncing off one of those water trampolines?

My guess would be that she just let go of a rope...

[GoNads]

This is 3 days late. Oops.

Well, if airborne includes birds, I'm in.

Edit: It doesn't count, I took it in late July. O well, I guess I just suck that way.

[squirrelmurphy]

:cool: I guess that would make a lot more sense

[brice618]

Ok, just so I have something up, I took a few while flying a few days ago. Nothing turned out like I wanted with the damn scratched up plex windows. Anyways, I'm not too happy about them, but here they are.
